I don't know if this has been talked about already, but a thing on ESPN and on many radios have talked about this. Ok you ready? You would think it is the Yankees, right?

nope, it is the Cleveland Indians.

Fans around the nation have to hate Cleveland because of the fact they give players away making the big name market teams even stronger.

yeah, there was a thread about this earlier this week....it is either the yanks or sox. That report is completely false...the Indians aren't significant enough to be hated.

I have no idea why Cincinnati and Cleveland are listed among the most hated franchises by other teams. It would seem to me that all of the highlites the Indians and Reds have provided other teams over the last several years should make them the huge friends of everyone they have played recently. If there was such a thing as a homecoming game in major league baseball, I would try to schedule either the Reds or the Tribe. Now, so far this season that looks like it may be changing, but we shall see.

I don't see how the most hated could be any other than the Yankees.

The sportsnation poll on ESPN.com tells the truth about who's really hated.

Yanks and Sox are the most hated.

I would imagine in the NL the Dodgers and Braves would be up there.

People hate Ohio in general.

Cuz we rep where we're from and Ohioans are all over this country.
