Washington Nationals: 1 of the Least Popular Baseball Teams
The Nats ranked 26th out of 30 in a popularity poll.
By Patch Editor Whitney Teal
The number of Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper jerseys wandering around the Washington, DC, area aside, the Washington Nationals aren’t a very popular baseball team. A recent poll of America’s Favorite Baseball Teams by Harris Interactive placed the newly resurrected team at 26th out of 30 baseball teams.
America’s favorite teams aren’t surprising: The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, with the Atlanta Braves, L.A. Dodgers and a tie between the Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers rounding out the top five.
