Cup Collection: East Coast

This blog is exclusive home of the 2013 MLB Season Souvenir Cup Power Rankings! I have previously written about the cups from the west coast. I have now updated the rankings to include the cups from my recent east coast trip. I have also color-coded the rankings based on trip: East Coast and West Coast. Pictures and notes for the cups acquired on the east coast trip are included below.

Rankings after the east coast trip:
  1. Toronto Blue Jays
  2. Philadelphia Phillies
  3. New York Mets
  4. Washington Nationals
  5. San Diego Padres
  6. Oakland A's
  7. Boston Red Sox
  8. Los Angeles Dodgers
  9. Baltimore Orioles
  10. San Francisco Giants
  11. New York Yankees
  12. Los Angeles Angels


Notes on rankings:
  • The Blue Jays, Phillies, Nationals, and Red Sox all use the same cup style. It is also the same style that the Padres and A's used I have a personal preference for this style since the graphic extends the length of the cup.
  • The Red Sox cup was good for unlimited refills and the Blue Jays cup was good for 1 free refill.
  • The Phillies cup has some biography information about the Phillie Phanatic written on the inside of the cup.
  • The Mets cup is the souvenir draft cup since the souvenir soda cup was really small (about 12 oz). 
  • The Yankees had 4 different cups for sale. My ranking is based on a combination of the two cups I have: the souvenir cup and souvenir draft. I did not get the souvenir jumbo or souvenir soda (12 oz).
  • The Orioles cup is larger than all the other cups - roughly the same size as the Yankees jumbo cup which I did not buy.
  • The Yankees and Orioles cups are low on the list because they are not as rigid as the other cups, giving it a cheap feeling. This is the main reason why these two cups (along with the Angels) rank in the bottom four.
