Most members on this board seem to be diehard fans of a team.
But how many of you root for more than one team?
I don't mean just liking other teams. I mean being a huge fan of them.
I'm a diehard fan of the Rangers and Yankees, and to a lesser extent, the Dodgers.
Rangers: The Rangers are my #1 team. I lived in Dallas most of my life, from age 5 until 33, and went to at least a dozen Rangers games every year. I have a big Rangers memorabilia collection, including a stadium seat from the old Arlington Stadium. I still go to a Rangers game when I visit my parents in Dallas.
Yankees: I was born in New York and lived there until I was five. My dad grew up on Long Island and is a lifelong Yankees fan. I have tons of his old Yankees stuff and he's always telling me stories about the great '50s and early '60s teams.
Dodgers: My favorite player Andre Ethier is on the Dodgers. He became my favorite player in 2005 when I met him as a Minor Leaguer on the Midland, Texas team. By coincidence, he was traded to the Dodgers and called up in 2006, the year I moved to Hawaii, where all the Dodgers games are broadcast. Watching the team all the time made me a fan, and I love Mattingly as a Yankees fan.
So do you root for more than one team, or are you just a diehard fan of one team?
