The Detroit Tigers don't really have a true rival. Sure you can name the Chicago White Sox and maybe the Kansas City Royals since they have become the team to beat in the A.L. Central, but there just isn't one clear cut team Tigers fans hate.
Personally, I love to hate on the Cleveland Indians. They are almost lovable losers until you meet their fan base.
Thrillist.com put out a list of "BASEBALL'S MOST INTOLERABLE FANS."
Some fanbases are stronger than others in terms of total insufferability. So here they are, the fans for all 30 franchises, ranked from least to most offensive.
Detroit Tigers fans came in at 12th on the list.
On the one hand, Tigers fans have to feel pretty good about having an aging owner spending with reckless abandon, motivated (one assumes) by fear of his own mortality. On the other hand, they have to deal with living in Detroit. KIDDING! They're from the suburbs. The fellas are in their Cabrera jerseys (every penny towards that salary counts) and about 18 beers deep, while the ladies have their curled hair and temporary Tigers cheek tattoos (and ladies-fit Verlander jerseys) and are about nine Atwater Dirty Blondes deep.
Coming in at 10th on the list are the Cleveland Indians and the most insufferable fans are the L.A. Dodgers. Do you agree with this list or agree with what they have to say about you as a Tiger fan?
