I moved from Montana to Spokane WA in 1996. Got tickets to the kingdome to see the Mariners. The Mariners of course were pretty good by the end of the 90s, but they couldn't get past the evil empire. In 2001, with Randy Johnson pitching for AZ, it felt like poetry, it was beautiful, that a former Mariner would help take down Goliath. Ever since then, I still root against ATL and NYY. Of course, now I root against Houston too!

Reggie Jackson is my favorite player, so that will explain the first two. I am from Georgia, so that explains my third.

1974 Oakland A's
1977 New York Yankees
1995 Atlanta Braves (one of the all-time great pitching staffs)

I really liked the Seattle Mariners when they had their trident logo:



Since they changed it I've liked them a lot less. Nonetheless now that the Oakland Athletics are no more, the Mariners are easily my favourites in the AL West.

One of my favorite things about vintage cards is seeing the logos/uniforms from the '70s and earlier. This Mariners logo, those striped Astros uniforms, the collared White Sox shirts, etc.

Great thread!

1) 1986 Mets - I'm from Long Island, not far from where the Mets play. What a bunch of characters.

2) 1947 Dodgers - Great bunch of guys around Jackie. So glad they chose this team to integrate.

3) 1971 Pirates - Very cool group, and World Series champs.

Honorable mention: 1951 Giants, 1948 Indians, 1975 Reds.

1987 Twins: Finally, Minnesota wins it all at something during my lifetime. It was a blast watching the Kiddie corps put it all together at once: Hrbek, Gaetti, Puckett, Brunanski and Viola.

1978 Yankees: Was (and still am) a HUGE fan of Thurman Munson and Ron Guidry. Gator goes 25-3-- best pitching season in my lifetime IMHO (suck eggs Pedro). Bombers take last 4 in World Series. Sweet.

1991 Twins: Last to first. Winners of most exciting World Series ever. ROY and Cy Young finishers 2, 4, and 7. Lots of guys to like on that team. Home-grown Jack tosses game seven shutout--10 innings no less.
