Baseball fans are a passionate bunch—but some take that passion and crank it up to full-on superiority mode. Whether it’s endless stat battles, historic chest-pounding, or trolling every other fanbase after a Tuesday night win in April, a few fanbases just can’t help but act like they’re better than everyone else.
This list is all about that online energy. Here are all 30 MLB teams ranked by how arrogant their fans are on the internet—win, lose, or still clinging to a title from 30 years ago.
30. Oakland Athletics
A’s fans are more sad than smug these days. They’re too busy fighting for their team’s survival to flex online.
29. Kansas City Royals
Royals fans had their moment in the mid-2010s, but they’ve been humble ever since. Not much arrogance when you’re living in a full rebuild. Hey, at least they had a strong 2024 season.
28. Detroit Tigers
Tigers fans are loyal, but they don’t get loud about it. It’s mostly quiet grumbling and hoping things turn around.
27. Miami Marlins
Marlins fans know they don’t have much ground to stand on, and they act accordingly. There’s no time for arrogance when half your roster changes yearly.
26. Pittsburgh Pirates
Pirates fans are passionate, but their self-awareness is strong. They know they’re in baseball purgatory and don’t pretend otherwise.
25. Cincinnati Reds
Reds fans are starting to feel some momentum, but they’re not cocky yet. It’s more cautious optimism than full-on trash talk.
24. Washington Nationals
That 2019 World Series glow wore off fast. These days, the online energy is mostly nostalgia mixed with quiet frustration.
23. Colorado Rockies
Rockies fans mostly just want someone to notice them. They save their fire for front office complaints, not other teams.
22. Cleveland Guardians
Guardians fans are loyal and scrappy, but not overly loud. The online tone is more underdog than unbeatable.
21. Minnesota Twins
Twins fans have their pride, but they don’t usually start fights online. The AL Central energy is more “please respect us” than “bow before us.”
20. Tampa Bay Rays
Rays fans are small in number, but they love reminding everyone how smart their front office is. The tone can veer into smug—but only if you poke them first.
19. Milwaukee Brewers
Brewers fans are fun, passionate, and occasionally overconfident. They’ve got a chip on their shoulder that can lead to some spicy tweets.
18. Arizona Diamondbacks
The D-backs’ recent postseason success gave fans a boost of confidence. But they still haven’t gone full arrogance mode—yet.
17. Texas Rangers
Rangers fans finally got their ring and are enjoying the view from the top. The online tone has shifted from patient to proud (and a little spicy).
16. Los Angeles Angels
Angels fans don’t get to talk much trash, but some still do. When you’ve had Trout and Ohtani and missed the playoffs for years, delusion and confidence sometimes blur. And now that Ohtani is gone? Forget about it.
15. Chicago White Sox
White Sox fans are fiery and don’t hold back. Even when the team struggles, they’ll argue like they’re contenders.
14. Seattle Mariners
Mariners fans have waited forever, so they get defensive fast. They’ve got swagger in bursts, especially when the team shows life.
13. Baltimore Orioles
Orioles fans are feeling themselves again and are not shy about it. The rebuild worked—and they want everyone to know it.
12. Toronto Blue Jays
Jays fans are extremely online and extremely vocal. They’ll argue with anyone, especially about how underrated their roster is.
11. San Diego Padres
Padres fans love the glitz and aren’t afraid to talk about it. Even if the results don’t match the payroll, the confidence is loud and proud.
10. New York Mets
Mets fans are chaotic and overconfident by default. Every win sparks bold claims, and every loss becomes a conspiracy theory.
9. Philadelphia Phillies
Philly fans are passionate and intense—and they bring that to the internet daily. They’ll talk trash to anyone and double down when challenged.
8. Atlanta Braves
Braves fans have been riding high and love reminding everyone how stacked they are. They expect greatness and talk like it’s guaranteed.
7. St. Louis Cardinals
Cardinals fans are the “we play the game the right way” crowd. The moral superiority leaks into their online takes—and it gets noticed.
6. Boston Red Sox
Sox fans love their history and aren’t shy about flexing it. Even during down years, the confidence stays sky-high.
5. Houston Astros
Astros fans have leaned hard into the villain role. They’re defensive, proud, and fully convinced the world is just jealous.
4. Chicago Cubs
Cubs fans waited forever for a title—and now some act like they’ve always been elite. The mix of tradition and recent success makes for a very confident fanbase.
3. San Francisco Giants
Giants fans carry those three titles from the 2010s like badges of honor. They expect to be taken seriously and aren’t shy about calling out doubters.
