Baseball season gets real in May – the temperatures climb, and fans start to see what their team is made of. It’s a time for prospects to turn into stars, and for stars to reach supernova level.
Home Team Box is a monthly baseball card subscription box featuring cards ONLY from your favorite team. We’ve got Yankees, A’s, and every team in between. We also launched a “mixed box” this season, for those fans who just love collecting the biggest stars and prospects, regardless of the team.
Do Home Team Box subscriptions show how successful a team is? We’re finding out this year through our monthly subscriber countdowns. In April, the Boston Red Sox had the most subscribers. Who led in May?
5. Atlanta Braves
The Braves have a stacked roster ready to compete in 2024. Their lineup and rotation are both feared and they are one of the teams to beat in the NL this season.
Fans who subscribe to a Home Team Box for Braves fans will get players like Ronald Acuna, Max Fried and Austin Riley, plus prospects like A.J. Smith-Shawver and Hurston Waldrep.
4. New York Yankees
The New York Yankees are being, well, the New York Yankees this season. They’re in first place, and all of the pieces of their lineup are producing. Yankees fans are used to winning, so appearing only 4th on this list might not feel right, but the 1st through 3rd teams have sold more boxes in May.
Yankees fans were treated to boxes featuring players like Aaron Judge, Anthony Volpe and Luis Gil in the May boxes, plus prospects like Jasson Dominguez and Spencer Jones.
3. Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles have overcome a slew of injuries so far this season, particularly in their starting rotation, and they’re hanging with the Yankees in the AL East. It’ll be a challenging summer, but the team’s deep minor league system is going to help them through it.
May 2024 boxes included players like Kyle Bradish, Gunnar Henderson and Grayson Rodriguez.
2. St. Louis Cardinals
The St. Louis Cardinals are competing in a league where so many teams are near .500, that almost everyone has a chance. Off the back of their new phenom, Masyn Winn, the Cardinals have surprised people and made all of the right changes when they needed to.
May 2024 boxes for Cardinals fans included players like Masyn Winn, Nolan Gorman and Willson Contreras.
1. Boston Red Sox
They did it again. The Red Sox may not be winning in the standings, but they had the most Home Team Box subscribers in May 2024. Fans are staying hopeful that guys like Tanner Houck, Kutter Crawford and Ceddanne Rafaela will help turn the team around.
Boston is known for creative solutions to baseball problems, so they’ll be exciting to watch this summer as they try to ascend the tough AL East standings.
