MLB Twitter Handles and Follower Counts

urlIf the World Series were won by Twitter followers, the New York Yankees would hold all the titles. Since Twitter’s launch in 2006, the Yankees have always held the top spot.

The Phillies are starting to catch up, but they’re still a good 90,000 follows away from surpassing the leader. Philadelphia does, however, have almost double the followers as the #3 spot, which goes to the Giants.

The Astros can breathe a sigh of relief — coming in at a solid 29th keeps them out of the bottom spot. Padres fans will be disappointed to note that not only has their team never won a world series, but the San Diego team is also listed last on the follower count.
