Yes, it’s not nice to hate people.

The folks at The Grueling Truth have out together a report that says more New York Yankees fans than Philadelphia Phillies fans would steal a foul ball from a kid!
Oh, the horror!
The Grueling Truth commissioned a nationwide survey, asking baseball fans if they would go all out to snag a foul ball at a baseball game, even if a child was reaching for it.
A full 24% of Yankees fans say they would go for the foul ball, even if it meant a kid losing out. 24%! That’s one out of every found Yankees fans!
Where is the love?
(For full disclosure, we should mention the Phillies fans grab-the-ball-from-the-kid-score is only slightly better than the Yankees fans score: 23%. But, hey, bottom line, the Phillies are better, Yankees are worse!)
Of course, it was a Phillies fan that started it all:
After a Phillies Home Run, a Karen makes a kid give her a home run ball. Thankfully after the Marlins treated the kid with a goodie bag.

Athletics Fans Come Up Bottom-of-the-Barrel
The worst fans in baseball are definitely the fans of the Athletics. (Maybe this is why they’re being kicked out of Oakland!) 36% of Athletics fans say they would go for that foul ball, in spite of a kid.
On the other end, shout out to Pittsburgh Pirate fans! Only 10% say they’d snatch a foul ball from a kid.
