It's not over until it's over... especially in baseball. While that concept can be applied to any sport, "America's Pastime" is the only one where the winner physically have to earn it. It's 27 up and 27 down in every single outing. That means fans always could have some incentive to stay until the bitter end... but not every team's supporters follow this idea. According to a Research Frontier survey of 3,000 fans of different Major League Baseball teams, here are the ones most likely to depart the ballpark early:
