Find any terrible baseball team that consistently sells out.

Hot Sauce clearly explained to me why the basic tenets of bandwagonism don't apply to Baltimore, so no need to pile on! Geez!

lol Baltimore fans aren't insecure. just something made up on this board. I don't see it anywhere else.

Don't really have a dog in the fight, but DC sports fans should definitely not be using baseball attendance as ammunition.

They've had winning seasons and made the playoff recently.

We're not. I was just seeking clarification on this "better support for two teams" claim. I just didn't see the asterisk, which Hot Sauce has pointed out to me.

That's why my post said "except the Redskins". D.C.'s a football town. The support for the other three teams is pretty fickle. I don't know how you can really disagree with that.

the nats average 24.5k and are fielding the best team in the history of their franchise. the O's are about to have their 15th straight losing season and are averaging 23.5k.

We're in a renaissance period, we're too sophisticated to lower ourselves to the level of the northern rif raf . On to more sophisticated endeavors such as discussing our playoff hockey team, our franchise HOF QB, our 1st place best in the league baseball team, and the prospects of our impending #1 pick in the NBA. It's an embarrassment of riches really, you must prepare yourself for the jealousy that will be overflowing from the common folk.

Much easier to sell 8 home games of the country's most popular sport than 81. But, yes, D.C. supports the Redskins well.

Talk to me when the summer comes around. Its true the Nats aren't doing that great but its not like the Red socks moved here. We got a team that was stripped down by MLB and its taking this long to get any where close to a real team. If the Nats stay in the hunt they will be packing in the crowds come summer.
