Minnesota Nice! Twins Score Favorably In Survey To Find Most Annoying Baseball Fans

We've all been to sporting events where fans are out of control. Usually, it's the opposing team's fans trying to stir things up and the more heated the rivalry, the more crazy things can get.

Now, don't get me wrong, I think this can be a lot of fun. Take, for example, when the Minnesota Twins play the Milwaukee Brewers. Sometimes the banter that happens in the stands is more fun than the actual game. However, there are times when fans take it too far and it gets ugly. There's usually beer involved.

Rivalries aside, who do you think has the most annoying fans in all of Major League Baseball? That was exactly what Crestline set out to discover when they surveyed 1,000 baseball fans across the country to ask their opinions of MLB fan bases and players.
