“Deeper Rooted Hatred…”: Baseball Fans Start an Intense Debate as New York Yankees Top Controversial Unwanted List

The 2023 MLB season has been ill-fated for the New York Yankees. Despite overcoming a bad start and making a valiant effort to stay in the postseason race, Aaron Judge’s injury has proved costly. But despite their misfortunes, fans don’t seem to have any sympathy for the team. Most recently, the Yankees topped an unwanted list, starting an intense debate. 

Injuries and a misfiring batting lineup have largely smothered the team’s postseason chances in recent weeks. Furthermore, it saw the team press a panic button but fail to impress. This has left fans frustrated and wanting better results from one of MLB’s biggest franchises. In turn, it may have caused the Bronx Bombers to rank top in this unpopular list.

Are the New York Yankees the most hated team?

Few teams beat the Yankees in terms of history and legacy. 27 World Series titles in their decades of existence have made them one of the most beloved teams. But in turn, opposing fans seemingly hate the Bombers the most. The Game Day MLB Twitter account shared a list of the most disliked teams verified by Codify in a poll. It was a somewhat controversial list with the Yankees topping it, followed by the Houston Astros and New York Mets in that order.

In a Tweet, The Game Day MLB said, “Y’all buying the Yankees being more disliked than the Astros?! 😳 (via @codifybaseball)”. Through their Tweet, even they seemed surprised by the list. But it seemingly confirms that the teams that win the most are hated by other fans.
