The Red Sox. I am currently watching them play at Texas. The Texas stadium is half full and there a large portion of the fans there that are Red Sox fans.
Red Sox fans endured a dry spell unlike anything unless you were a Cubbies or White Sox fan. Sox fans, many of whom had never seen a Red Sox World Series victory prior to 2004, always believed or hoped against hope in many cases. When the World Series victory in 2004 finally occured many of us were absolutely flabbergasted(ecstatic yes, but flabbergasted just the same). We will always remember what 2004 meant to us. I have read a few obituaries since 2004 and people actually mentioned the Red Sox and the World Series victory as something that was important in the lives of the people who had since passed away. I know when my time comes it will be listed in my paragraph or two summarizing my life and all that was important to me.

I think some very underated fans are the Oakland Athletics' fans. If you ever go to Oakland and see a game the fans in the left field bleachers are insane. The ones in the front rows all have flags that never stop waving and in the back there are at least five fans who bring drums to every game.

Oh, no doubt whatsoever. In this country, football reigns supreme, and basketball has a strong hold in some areas too. However, there's one place where baseball is dominant, the home of the most legends and legendary moments, and, of course, the birthplace of baseball itself in 1845, New York.
New Yorkers may love their Knicks, their Rangers, their Giants, their Jets, but they all have their strongest love for two teams: the New York Yankees and the New York Mets. Whether you bleed pinstripes or live for the blue and orange, whether your hero is Mookie or Mantle, whether you're at home at the Stadium or Shea, whether you remember 86 or 96, whether you are at the throats of the Bosox or Braves, baseball is your sport. Baseball is the sport of New York, and New York is the home of baseball. Yankees and Mets fans are the best, and I'm not talking about the bandwagoners who do it because it's cool.
If you go to a Yankee game, no matter how far behind the Yanks are, or how bad the weather is, the stands are full and the Bleacher Creatures in Section 39 are cheering loudly. The swirling cold breeze and noise of passing airliners isn't enough to push Mets fans out of the upper deck.
As for the worst fans, that's a tough call. Boston and the rest of New England is tied with New York in terms of intensity and loyalty to the team, but they are the worst when it comes to loyalty to players. Anyone who does amazing work for the Red Sox but leaves then becomes hated, and any good they've done is erased. New York didn't turn on Cone, or anyone else who went to the Sox, but the Sox fans jumped all over Clemens, Damon, and a number of other ex-Sox.

st. louis by far. anywhere else when a team has a bad year thier fans disappear, showing no support for thier teams. it's easy to back a winner ask anyone from new york. six teams consistantly pull in 3 million fans a year. dodgers, yankees, mets, cubs, redsox, cardinals. of these teams, stlouis has the smallest city pop (3-7 million below the others). given 3 million fans a season, that means every body in st louis city and county goes to one game a year. everybody. now this isn't actually true, but numbers wise i equals out.

According to polls taken the last few years the St. Louis Cardinals have the best fans as far as having respect for the opposition as well as knowledge of the game.

The most passionate, polite, most loyal fans are St Louis Cardinal fans.
I'm a Met fan by the way.

The Cubs of course. They have been breaking my heart for nearly 30 years, but I keep coming back for more. So do all the fans. We have hope that after this 99th year of rebuilding is over, there will be a world series win!!

The Cardinals. They are the only reason why Scott Rolen made it as a starter in the 2005 All Star game instead of Ensberg.

I guess it would depend on your criteria. If you are defining best fans as being beligerent, crude, and loudmouths, I would have to toss it up between Yankees and Red Sox fans. If you define best fans as being passionate, yet respectful then that honor goes to the St. Louis Cardinal fans.

I has to be the fans of the Boston Redsox. Having lived in Massachusetts most of my life, the attention the team gathers is incredible. The media coverage, the sellouts, it is second to none.
