Cup Collection: Lake Michigan

Another trip down means another update to the Souvenir Cup Power Rankings! I have previously ranked and posted photos of the cups after both the West Coast trip and the East Coast trip. In this newest edition of the power rankings, cups from my recent Lake Michigan trip have been added to the cups acquired on the West Coast and East Coast trips. Additional details and photos are included for the newly added cups.


Rankings after the Lake Michigan 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. Minnesota Twins
  11. Milwaukee Brewers
  12. Los Angeles Angels
  13. Chicago White Sox
  14. San Francisco Giants
  15. New York Yankees
  16. Chicago Cubs


Notes on rankings:
  • The Twins, Brewers, and White Sox all use the same cup style. The Angels also used cups style. While I have criticized this cup style as being a little flimsy, I have a little better opinion of the cup now. This cup style has small ridges along the bottom and a large printed area. I think having four cups of the same style unintentionally forces me to view theses four cups as a group.
  • The Twins cup also has the schedule on the backside. This is what elevated the Twins cup over the Brewers.
  • The Brewers cup says Cerveceros because I attended on Cerveceros Night. Cerveceros Night was the game where the Brewers thanked the hispanic community of Milwaukee for their support of the team.
  • The Cubs cup is very, very flimsy. The graphics on the cup would put it in the bottom half of the rankings but the lack of structural integrity of the cup are what places it in last place.
