Are Rockies the Fans the Most Unhappy in Major League Baseball?

Many of us grew up playing baseball. Maybe you played only one season, maybe you played only Little League, or perhaps you played in high school or college. Most grow up watching, playing, and cheering on their favorite baseball team. Some still enjoy going to games or watching it on TV, while others no longer follow the sport. Watching sports can take a toll on you and can be an emotional roller coaster. When it comes to baseball, some fans are happier than others, and when it comes to Rockies fans, are they happy or unhappy?

The Happiest Baseball Fans

Some baseball fans are among the happiest in sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers have won back-to-back championships, and their fans are clearly happy about it and have little to be sad about, as they are among the favorites to win it once again this year. Thelines.com recently revealed a list of the happiest to the unhappiest fans based on wins and losses, and it was determined that Anaheim Angels and Chicago Cubs fans experience the biggest happiness jump after their team wins. The most chilled fan base is the San Diego Padres, as they have very little mood swing if the team wins or loses. Living in San Diego, there isn't much to be unhappy about if your team loses. The happiest team, though, after a win is the Tampa Bay Rays. When it comes to the Rockies, where do they fall on this list?

Colorado Rockies Fans Are Unhappy

It is no secret that Rockies fans haven't had much to cheer about in recent years. The Rockies haven't been to the playoffs since 2018, when they got swept by the Milwaukee Brewers in the Divisional Round. The Rockies last season only won 43 games and lost 119. They had the worst 50-game start to a season in modern baseball history. These are all factors in the fact that Rockies fans are the unhappiest fans in the league. Rockies fans experience the largest dip in happiness after a loss, and have the lowest happiness score after a loss.
