It can't be Texas or Toronto since evidently they only played one season.


In 2015, Toronto was 8th. Why would their attendance have improved so much in 2015? Hmmm.

In 2014, Texas was 9th. This, I do not understand.

I could be wrong, but I think Tideroller's point was that the Cubs didn't have a uniquely loyal fanbase prior to '84. Their attendance figures were far below the league average for years.

Every winning team gets bandwagoners, but Tribune Co. was able to use their national network to market an otherwise ordinary ballclub and their rundown ballpark in an era when no one else could. It was a genius way to build the support they have today.
