We have taken data from various sources including ticket sales, social data, attendance, and team revenue, and used it to compile a ranking of MLB fan bases.

Here’s how we did it:

Average attendance for 2014 as a percentage of stadium capacity

Average ticket price on the secondary market (driven by demand) for the 2014 regular season

Annual team revenue for 2014 as provided by Forbes

Total number of Twitter followers as a percentage of the metro area population

Total number of Facebook fans as a percentage of the metro area population

We then weighed attendance and ticket price a bit more heavily as we felt they were more indicative of the fan base’s enthusiasm.

Below is the ranking and you can view the raw data here. Let us know what you think in the comments!
