Most Annoying

The baseball teams with the most annoying fans are those American League and National League squads in Major League Baseball that you hate to sit next to at the ballpark. These teams have large and loyal fan bases but bring their thick accents, championship patches and more stories of back in the day than can be told in 12 innings of ball. These are the fans that you hate if you're for the opposing team or embrace if you are a fellow follower. Love 'em or hate 'em, these are the baseball teams with the most annoying fans.Though each fan base will claim the other is the worst of all, the fans of the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox are perhaps the most annoying ever. Yanks fans, complete with their superiority complex, backed up by over two dozen World Series championships, will always claim they are the best fans for the best team of all time. BoSox fans can be just as cocky with their love of homerism and all things &quot;Sweet Caroline.&quot;But Boston and New York are far from the only two teams in professional baseball with annoying fans. Each of the 30 MLB teams have one quirk or another that irks fans of other teams. For many, it's the perpetual drought of success that motivates and depresses fans, such as the always pessimistic fans of the Chicago Cubs, New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays. Each of these teams have great followings but the annoying fans will certainly often remind you of how many years, months and days since the team saw any success or even qualified for the MLB postseason.Whatever these MLB team fans do that is annoying to make them some of the most hated and obnoxious, that all pales in comparison to the fact that these passionate men and women travel thousands of miles each year and spend thousands of dollars to support their teams, win or lose. Between the drunken fans talking smack or the underdogs screaming about their small-market team, watching the fans bicker is nearly as exciting as watching baseball itself. Who said the sport was boring?

Also referred to as&nbsp;pitchers who rake, these are the guys who can put the ball in play and get on base—and they're rare cases. There's no denying the fact that the vast majority of MLB pitchers, both old and new, have never been the best at hitting. In fact, pitchers have always been known to be terrible hitters. They only get at-bats every five days or so, and the American League guys don't even have to step up to the plate. So&nbsp;while they may not be the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-mlb-batters/ranker-baseball" target="_blank">best hitters currently in the MLB</a>, these are the best hitting pitchers in baseball today.With the exception of Shohei Ohtani (who gets additional at-bats as a DH), Madison Bumgarner is easily one of the best hitting pitchers of his time, not to mention one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-mlb-pitchers/ranker-baseball" target="_blank">best pitchers out right now</a>. He leads active pitchers in career home runs, and he belts them as hard as top batters in the league. Home runs aside, however, Zack Greinke and Adam Wainwright know how to put the ball in play—and they do if fairly often. Then you have the aforementioned sensation Shohei&nbsp;Ohtani, who may very well be the next Babe Ruth. Of all the pitchers who rake right now, he's certainly at the top of his class.&nbsp;Who do you think are the best current hitting pitchers in baseball? Whether you rank 'em by batting average or home runs, cast your votes below.

The best hitters in baseball history are those who hold the all-time hitting records in Major League Baseball, change the game as we know it, and are amongst the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-baseball-players-of-all-time" target="_blank">greatest baseball players of all time</a>. These sluggers dominated during their respective eras and captivated audiences at the same time. If you were to pick a top hitter for your all-time top baseball fantasy team, you'd be silly not to select these best baseball hitters as soon as possible.Pete Rose, Ty Cobb, Hank Aaron and Stan Musial all hold the top spots among the MLB all time hits, with Rose leading the pack at 4,256 over his career. Rose finished his career in 1986 and his record has withstood&nbsp;the time since.But the best hitters cannot be defined by the number of career hits alone. On that stat,&nbsp;Babe Ruth, arguably the best baseball hitter of all time, would rank in the 40s. Ruth&nbsp;holds top numbers for his home runs, slugging percentage, runs batted in and on-base&nbsp;percentage&nbsp;stats. Lou Gehrig is another who'd fall into that category with his major league records for the most grand slams -&nbsp;a figure since topped by a great modern slugger, Alex Rodriguez.So we're left with a conundrum. Do we deem those great players from yesteryear, like Willie Mays, Ted Williams and Shoeless Joe Jackson&nbsp;the best baseball hitters of all time? Do we give some love to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-baseball-players/alecdom" target="_blank">current top baseball players</a>&nbsp;like Barry Bonds, Albert Pujols and Derek Jeter?

This is a list of the greatest Atlanta Braves ever, whether&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-atlanta-braves-pitchers-ever/ranker-baseball" target="_blank">top Braves pitchers</a>&nbsp;or top hitters. Since the early 90s, the Atlanta Braves have&nbsp;established themselves as one of the model franchises in Major League Baseball. Over that time, the Braves won an unprecedented 14 straight division titles from 1991-2005 (1994 is excluded due to the player&#39;s strike). Although the franchise won only one World Series title over that time, Atlanta established itself as one of baseball&#39;s premier teams and through shrewd trades, smart free agent acquisitions and a scouting department that is able to identify the best young talent through the draft, the Braves are on a short list of teams that are perennial contenders.
