I grew up in LA/Orange counties, but at the time Roberto Clemente was the best player in the game, so I became a Pirates fan. The only local team that I ever liked was the Lakers because of Jerry West.

I’m a Cubs/Blackhawks/Bears fan in Denver, since I grew up an Illinois boy, and saw no reason to change. That being said, I like when the Broncos are good, and in the playoffs, because then I can ski on the weekends without the crowd.

I'll take an asterisk on this one.
My wife is from near DC, and early on we reached a compromise where I should also root for the Orioles and Redskins (and maybe a bit for the Caps and Bullets too) As well as the Red Sox and Patriots, except for when the two teams play each other. So far it's worked out well. And yes, I know the Bullets are something else now. |

Born and raised in northern NJ...dad was a big NY yankees fan...I've lived in Baltimore...now MN going on 20 years. I bleed pinstripes and the yankees will always be MY TEAM!!!!!
I do root for the twins as long as the yankees aren't in town or if it would hurt the yankees if the twins win! Last edited by ullmandds; 03-21-2019 at 12:20 PM. |

She's too young to remember DC having a team. But I can probably get a special allowance for adding the Nationals instead of a swap for the Orioles, which I don't think I'm brave enough to ask for. ![]() Edited to ad that the Redskins were easy, since they were originally a Boston team.

I grew up in New Orleans as a Saints and Jazz fan. The Jazz left in 1979, and I have never latched onto another NBA team. I started pulling for the Red Sox when Rice and Lynn were rookies, and I still do. I have lived in North Carolina since 2000, so I began going to NHL games and became a Carolina Hurricanes fan. I can't pull for the Panthers, because they are the Saints rival (although, I am boycotting the NFL until Goodell leaves), and the Hornets are just too boring to get me watching. Maybe someday.

These days I still have Dodgers tickets and am a Dodgers fan just because I want the season to last longer at home. |
