Forbes Mag says Crew Fans #2 on "Best" List
Forbes Magazine has come up with a way to determine the MLB's "best" fans. As you might guess, "best" refers to the greatest income-producing fans. Given how the media calls Milwaukee a minor market or second tier franchise, you would think Milwaukee would be at the bottom of the list. Not so, on a fan-by-fan basis.

Owner Mark A is a very smart investor, and we are very loyal fans.
I wonder how many other cities without major league franchises currently might be competitive if the MLB and Congress would permit a free market of city-owned teams to exist. But that is another discussion for another day. For now, let's enjoy our #2 ranking as best fans....

Nice to see Milwaukee at #2
Though I think the author missed the mark on a couple points…
Perhaps Brewers owner Mark Attanasio – who made a public outcry for protection from such behemoths as the Yankees after they stole away his ace pitcher, C.C. Sabathia, with an unprecedented $161 million, seven-year contract – will now stop crying. After all, the Bronx Bombers managed a middling $45 in revenue per fan last season.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
Only $45 each from eleventy million fans.
Poor Yankees.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
doesn't this just affirm that we're small market?
few fans, so good revenue per fan? Especially since I’m probably not considered a fan as I haven’t paid a penny this season.
