According to Banyan Branch, who collected this data, the American league is slightly more popular on social media than the National league. The Yankees have a staggering 5.3 million likes on Facebook, and 550,000 followers on Twitter, followed by the Red Sox with 3.5 Facebook likes and 220,000 Twitter followers. Nick Swisher of the Yankees has the most Twitter followers out of any MLB player, with over 1 million, followed by Brian Wilson of the SF Giants with about 489,000 followers. (Banyan Branch)
The stats for the most active teams on Twitter are pretty surprising. One would think the teams with the most followers and likes, hence being the most popular on social media, would also be the most active team on Twitter. Well, that's not the case here. The Giants are tweeting the most, followed by the Mariners, Blue Jays, Diamondbacks, and the Tigers. (Banyan Branch)
What does it take for a sports figure to have close 1.5 million followers? Nick Swisher is very active on Twitter. He stays in touch with his fans on there, by sharing how he's feeling, relating to his most recent injury, how spring training went, as well as engaging his fans and followers, asking them for their input and comments as well. People enjoy taking part in conversations and sharing their day-to-day lives and opinions as well and the more they are engaged, the more likely they will react. Brian Wilson is also pretty active on Twitter. In addition to staying active on there and engaging one's followers, they also have a large fan base to begin with.
What does this all mean? Social Media continues to have such a great effect and impact on small businesses, large corporations, individuals, and even sports teams. If a social media strategy is put into place the right way, just like the Yankees have, any company or team can have the followers, likes, and fan base as they do. Congratulations, Yankees!
