Not sure the team's in season success is any criteria. If it were, the Mets wouldn't be so far up the list. At least the Cubs were building it over. They weren't that much different than the Mets.

ESPN is going to target games they know people watch. There are Yankee, Met, Red Sox, Cubs, Braves fans all over the United States. Oakland not so much.

And, this is coming from a Chicago guy who, back in the 60's, picked the A's as my favorite American League Team. (Not a White Sox hater. Just wasn't acceptable to be both a Sox and Cub fan.) Besides, they had the cool white shoes and colorful unis. But, i think i'm a rarity as an A's fan who lives nowhere near the bay area, and never has.
