i love baseball and don’t know which team to support. they’re all great but i just want to see what other people think as well.
If you want to see what other people think, a 2004 Harris poll ranked the teams by popularity (see link below for full list). The top ten in order were
New York Yankees
Chicago Cubs
Atlanta Braves
Boston Red Sox
Detroit Tigers
Philadelphia Phillies
San Francisco Giants
Baltimore Orioles
Los Angeles Dodgers
Pittsburgh Pirates
Depending on what your motives are this might be a fine way to pick a team to follow, especially if one of your reasons is to meet new peoople, but a better way would probably be to watch as much baseball as you can, and find a specific personal reason you root for a team. It can be as simple as you like the colors or some player has the same name as you.

Being a Cardinals fan I have to say the Cardinals are number one. They have a long glorious history. Only the Yankees have more pennants and World Championships than the Cardinals. The Cardinals won by developing talent and trades they did not try to buy Championships like two team on the east coast have tried to do.

Other peoples opinions is a horrible way for you to pick a team to support.
You are only going to get a list of teams that they like and NOT of teams they don’t.
If you like baseball, but don’t support a specific team, it’s my recommendation that you stay that way. It’s the only way to be objective.
Everyone else thinks that their team somehow ‘deserves’ to win over the next person’s team.
It gets old.
If that fails, what team are you physically closer to if you were to visit a stadium, what’s on in your tv area.
