Why it exists

It started with one question

The Brewers won the World Series this year. They seem like a bunch of great dudes that I'd love to hang with. I checked Shane Drohan's page because I feel bad that one bad performance has people so down on him, and I wondered how many fellow Brewers follow him.

Instagram can't answer that at a glance. You'd have to scroll through dozens of following lists one by one. So I built a map that does it for the whole roster at once, then grew it to every team that made the 2026 playoffs.

Mutual: they follow each other

What a follow does and doesn't mean

A follow is just a follow. It isn't proof of a friendship, and a missing follow isn't a feud. Accounts are sometimes run by agents, and people follow and unfollow for all sorts of reasons. This is a fun way to explore the team, not gossip.
