Answer 2

According to Dan Patrick....

About 45% Yankees fans
45% Red Sox
10% Mets

Answer 3

ESPN is in my homestate of Connecticut, so that may have something to do with it, since it is close to Boston.

But a lot of people are bias towards the Red Sox and Yankees since they are the popular teams of the MLB.

Answer 4

ESPN has an overall east coast bias but they love the red-sox for no apperant reason......the spend likr 5 mins on the west coast, 5 mins on the yank/tigers/whitesox, then the rest on the red sox

Answer 5

"'Red Sox Nation?What a bunch of [expletive] that is. That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans.Go anywhere in America and you won't see Red Sox hats and jackets,you'll see Yankee hats and jackets.This is a Yankee country.We're going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order,' " -Hank Steinbrenner

And I agree that ESPN is full of Red Sox (bandwagon) fans.

Answer 6

Maybe they should get a life and join the White Sox Nation
Just kidding, but they do have a total bias. They spend half the time of SportCenter on the Red Sox and the Celtics. They have an east coast (Boston) bias.

Answer 7

10 games out of 162 of the Red Sox's games are on ESPN.

Yankees: 9

Mets: 7

Compare that to:

Angels: 3

Dodgers: 1

Rockies (reining NL champs): 0

They are HUGELY biased, Red Sox just so happen to be their favorite out of all of the overrated...

Answer 8

50 percent Red Sox and 50 percent Duke fans

Answer 12

One of ESPN's main headquarters is in Bristol Connecticut. That's about halfway in between Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park. It only takes 2 hours to get to both parks from Bristol. Does that tell you anything?
