Yankees, Cubs are league’s biggest road draws
Most root for the home team, of course, but which clubs draw the most attention when traveling? The New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs. For all the baseball fans who claim to hate the Yankees, there are plenty of pinstripe followers who enjoy watching them play in person. And die-hard fans of the Cubs, who haven’t played in the World Series since 1945, also turn out in big numbers coast to coast.
