Duane Burleson/Getty ImagesBaseball teams gain strong allegiances from their hometown fans. But some teams' fans are just more hardcore than the rest.

Ticketcity.com, a site that allows people to buy and sell tickets to sports and music events, created an exclusive list of the most devoted Major League Baseball fans.

They used several key factors to calculate the most devoted fans, including average total attendance, average home attendance, average home game ticket price, percent capacity for home games, Facebook likes, and Twitter followers. This generated a score for each team between one and 100.

Not surprisingly, the San Francisco Giants, last year's World Series winner, came out on top. And major markets like New York and L.A. also dominate the standings.
