At 0.88, the Cincinnati Reds and Brandon Phillips sit virtually tied at the top of Todd Frazier's neighbor set — two distinct poles that together define a two-peak structure. The Reds represent a team-brand pull; Phillips, a fellow athlete, represents a peer-athlete pull. These two peaks are nearly inseparable in score (0.883 vs. 0.8826), and everything below them steps down noticeably.
The top 10 neighbors break into a clear pattern. Sports Teams (Organizations subcategory) account for four of the ten: the Cincinnati Reds (0.88), Cincinnati Bengals (0.81), Notre Dame Football (0.78), and Ohio State Buckeyes (0.78). Athletes account for three: Brandon Phillips (0.88), Trevor Bauer (0.82), and Jim Irsay (0.80), plus AJ Green (0.80). The remaining neighbors are a Non-Profit (Cincinnati Zoo, 0.86), a Restaurant brand (Skyline Chili, 0.81), and an Alcohol brand (Yuengling Brewery, 0.80). The Cincinnati Zoo's position at 0.86 — third overall — is the structural surprise: a non-sports, non-athlete entity sitting above multiple sports teams and athletes, suggesting the audience overlap extends into a broader Cincinnati civic identity rather than pure sports fandom. The geographic concentration is notable: five of the top 10 neighbors are Cincinnati- or Ohio-anchored entities.
The two-peak shape, anchored by a team and a peer athlete at nearly identical scores, points to an audience that organizes around both franchise loyalty and individual player identity simultaneously.
