American rapper Kanye West is known for his stern criticism of others. His outspokenness has put him in trouble many times, and the last couple of months have not been in his favor, citing his unacceptable remarks. The critic West once took his take on baseball and spoke about the Major League Baseball team that everybody else should be on the lookout for.

West is an avid baseball fan. He has also thrown first pitches with his mother back in 2007 and his son in 2018. Not to forget that both times, he did the honor for the Chicago White Sox. But one of his statements suggests that he did have another favorite team. In 2016, when he talked about his favorite team, there was no mention of the Chicago White Sox.
