FanGraphs Mugs Are Here!
In our never-ending quest to put a FanGraphs logo on everything, mugs are the logical next step. So, here they are!
They come in both black and white to match your preferred aesthetic and, at 15 oz., are also on the large size. These have quickly become the go-to mugs in my own household, to the point where certain unnamed spouses have attempted to monopolize them.
They are available now for $25, which includes shipping and handling. Supplies are currently limited. Quite honestly, these may be the first and last mugs we make, so get them while you can!
David Appelman is the creator of FanGraphs.
$25 for a mug? At that price, I’ll ask for it for Christmas
I’ve never donated to Fangraphs. I don’t know what the percentage of people that do is. I frequently see the pop up and dismiss it with a sense of guilt, similar to my Wikipedia experience. That being confessed, I’m more likely to buy the cup than purely donate because “At least I’m getting something out of it”, at least something more tangible than supporting great content that I read all the time. I guess I’m willing to pay more for an expensive cup because I consider part of the cost a built-in donation.
My two cents.
I actually needed a new sweatshirt and just came here and bought the hoodie because as you mentioned, I figured I’m achieving both the need for a new piece of fall-wear and supporting the best site on the internet. Win/Win.
win/win/win. the important difference here is with win/win/win, we all win. me too. i win for having successfully mediated a conflict at work.
Need to know the mug’s projected WAR before spending $25.
I have several replacement level mugs used Mon-Wed. I might just hit this market hard over the offseason for a superstar level Sunday mug such as this.
I’ll wait for the limited edition with Carson’s face on.
But it needs to say “We’re all gonna go dateless!”

or his mug
Really need an all-green mug
Agreed. I don’t really need a mug, but an all-green version of this mug I would buy just to have.
Spending $25 on a mug is the equivalent of spending $144m on Eric Hosmer
This mug better bring allegedly unmeasurable defensive upside, a clutch bat, and a winning attitude to my cupboard.
You should probably consider only using the mug every other year.
So this is how Appelman turns his millions into billions
If there was a Dan Szymborski mug MAYBE I buy it for $25. Dan probably wouldn’t pay $10 to look at his mug on a coffee mug.
I would love to buy one… but I made a solemn vow to not buy anything until the Daniel Murphy quote t-shirts were reordered.
So if you commission another bunch of the “do you go to fangraphs at all” shirts, you will not only sell out of them in two hours, you will also sell a mug.
I was thinking about buying one and then saw the $15 international shipping fee. That on top of the exchange rate to Canadian and damn, I guess I’m not getting a Fangraphs mug. This isn’t a complaint, just a tragic story.
See you beat me to it. I was willing to shell out $25 since that’s what I would expect for mug + intl. shipping anyway. Just can’t justify $40. Alas.
how much more for the mug that stops asking you to buy a premium membership?
$50.
Free shipping*
* Domestically.
Sorry FanGraphs, I want the mug but not at a total of $40.
As a constant 24/7 lurker, I’ve just bought both the yearly ad-free membership and the Fangraphs Mug. For how much I’m on here, how much data I’ve added to my personal database (and scraped into R!), and the enjoyment I get from the writing on this site… well worth the $75.
Heck, the data alone is worth it. The hardest part about gathering baseball data is *finding* it! Can I get pitchf/x data from here? pitchRx has decided to make a mess of the bed unfortunately…
Keep up the great work everyone!
