Baseball fans were asked of the four League Championship Series teams, which team had the worst fans, and the results were very conclusive.

Despite the Cardinals winning multiple World Series since the turn of the century, the Astros recently having a run of success, and the Nationals brashness, over 60% of voters stated that the Yankees were the team with the “worst” fans. Even looking on Twitter, there are a lot of Yankees fans who complain at an excessive rate. There is a potential threat of things being thrown on the field:
AJ Hinch on fans throwing things onto the field here: "I will pull the team off the field if we get in that situation again where bottles are being thrown and balls are being thrown and it becomes unruly."

In addition, baseball fans think that the best World Series matchup would feature the Astros and the Nationals.
