Baseball is a sport where the bandwagon seems to bother me less just due to the nature of the sport and schedule.
Games are played in the middle of summer, and there are 162 of them. Hard to be a continuous "die-hard" if your team is always out of the race by the end of July.
I'm sure there are a lot of casual fans who have always kept an eye on the team, but are now coming out of the woodwork with more vocal support and are actually watching games that mean something and I'm sure if you asked them in the dark ages if they had a favorite Baseball team they would answer Blue Jays.
