People watch sports for a variety of reasons. For the everyday Joe, it can be for the excitement, community, or just an escape from reality for a bit. Everyone has their reasons.
Sometimes, though, we forget celebrities and prominent figures crave the same things as us. Baseball has a wide variety of celebrities who love showing their fandom. T
hat’s why for this list, we will be going over the biggest celebrity fans from all 30 MLB teams.
Arizona Diamondbacks: Larry Fitzgerald
Fitzgerald played for the Arizona Cardinals for 17 years. It’s so rare to see one player stay on the same team for such a long time especially one who was amazing as Fitzgerald. So it’s no surprise he became a fan of other Arizona sports teams which includes the Diamondbacks.
Atlanta Braves: Jason Aldean

Despite spending most of his career with the New England Patriots, many would assume that Brady became a Red Sox fan, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Growing up his heart always lied with the Brewers.
