Five more stadiums down and five more cups to add to the Souvenir Cup Power Rankings. The new souvenir cups are from Rockies, Rays, Marlins, Reds, and Indians games. Since all of these cups were acquired on trips where I attended two or fewer ballparks, they are in black font.
Rankings after the Ohio trip:
- Toronto Blue Jays
- Cincinnati Reds
- Kansas City Royals
- Philadelphia Phillies
- Houston Astros
- New York Mets
- Cleveland Indians
- Colorado Rockies
- Washington Nationals
- San Diego Padres
- Miami Marlins
- Texas Rangers
- Oakland A's
- Tampa Bay Rays
- Los Angeles Dodgers
- Boston Red Sox
- Baltimore Orioles
- Minnesota Twins
- Milwaukee Brewers
- Los Angeles Angels
- San Francisco Giants
- Chicago White Sox
- St. Louis Cardinals
- New York Yankees
- Detroit Tigers
- Chicago Cubs
Notes on rankings:
- All five of the new cups are of the same style as 15 of the top 16 cups. As mentioned in previous Cup Collection posts, this cup style is superior from others in that it is structurally sound and has a large design surface.
- The Rays, Marlins, and Reds cups all included one free refill. The Indians cup had $2 refills, and the cup itself was one of the more inexpensive cups in the collection.
- The Rockies cup is a collage of tiles in the shape of the numeral "20", in honor of the Rockies' 20th year in existance. Each tile is has the date and opponent of a game along with a picture of current or former Rockies player. However, neither the tiles or the "20" are overly easy to read. The idea behind the design is well-intended but the execution was slightly lacking.
- The Reds cup is holographic and features star first baseman Joey Votto.
- The design on the Indians cup is a portrait of League Park, the Indians' home from 1900 - 1946.
