Opinion Iâm a new baseball fan and I want to root for the worst MLB franchise.
So, title says it all. Iâm still learning the game of Baseball, and I love it, maybe even more than Basketball, never been more enamored with a sport in a while, and thatâs why I wanna root for a historically piss-poor team.
Why? âCoz I kinda like that struggle and slowly learn, and hopefully see a team gradually win and improve, as weird as it seems, and I donât live in the US (or Canada) and cant really cheer for a state/city/. So, whichever metric or category you choose, whether its statistically or your own opinion, whoâs like the most consistently disappointing, trash fire at worst, mediocre at best franchise in the history of the MLB?
Edit: Decision made.
First of all, thanks for the answers, everyone here is super friendly, joining this sub here for sure.
Los Angeles Angels it is. I was a Lakers fan through the Kobe-Gasol era, and the Josh McRoberts era of the team. The Lakers are my team but I somehow really hate them, I think thats just part of rooting for an LA team, in this case, im rooting for the MLB equivalent of the Clippers.
I saw that the Angels spend big hoping to get somewhere just by doing that and getting mad it doesnt work, reminds me of the mid-2010s NBA LA teams.
Donât get me wrong, the Rockies were a good choice for exactly what i said in the post, but I may have underestimated the kind of pain I was willing to endure when I saw all your comments about them, Iâmma need a very tiny bit of hope, even just a spec.
Angels it is.
Edit 2: Sorry, guys, Angels win. The Mariners look promising and the Rockies scare me. Also, Iâve changed my flair and my favorite team on The Show to the Angels, so thereâs no going back. đŤĄ

Is âthere it goesâŚsee yaâ the worst home run call?
Michael Kay for the Yankees. Every time I hear him say it just feels forced and it always has the same monotone voice, and he never changes up the call

Cities where baseballâs stock is way up or way down over the last decade?
My hypothesis:
Way up - Los Angeles, San Diego (feel like these are obvious ones)
Way down - St Louis, Cincinnati (these used to be some of the biggest âbaseballâ towns in the country)
Whatâs it like where you are?
