For me:
My grandfather was drafted by the Indians, but his father would not let him go because of WWII. Instead, he got drafted by the USA
. My dad told me this as a child and I became an Indians fan ever since. I also looked at it like it would be the closest I ever got to MLB, so I ran with it.

I don't have a problem with anyone voluntarily cheering for the Indians. It's when people become like Steelers fans for NFL, Dodgers fans in MLB, and Celtics fans for NBA. That's what I can't stand

When I was 8 years old I said "Whoever wins the championship this year I will root for them." That was 2004. The Red Sox won the World Series and the Patriots won the Super Bowl.
In 2007 I started rooting for the Bruins and Celtics because they were Boston teams.

Grandparents lived in Houston. The style of play in the NL Central combined with the history of the Cubs and Cardinals leave Houston, St. Louis and Chicago Cubs as my three favorite teams. With all due respect to Fenway, there is no better place to watch a baseball game than Wrigley.
Not sure why I never became a Yankees or Mets fan though. My grandfather was good friends with Yogi Berra.

Wrigley is a great stadium. I hate to see they are considering moving, even if the stadium is run down.
Besides Fenway, Wrigley is my favorite baseball stadium.

This may become as a surprise, but from what I heard, people say that PNC park is the nicest place to watch a game.

The only MLB park I have ever been to was Great American Ball Park where the Cincinnati Reds play. Its a pretty cool stadium.

I've been to home games for the Astros and Rays. I'll be flying up to New York for a series against the Indians this summer and then taking a 3 hour train ride for 2 series in Boston against the Rangers and Angels. Extremely excited.

I hate domes.

Minute Maid is a top notch stadium. Plus the roof is retractable. Tropicana is a dump.

I was thinking of the AstroDome for some reason.
The Trop looks like a dump on TV. It has to be IRL.

The Astros no longer play in a dome. Minute Maid Park is actually a good place to watch a game for a newer stadium.

It's the worst stadium I have ever visited.

I love when the train moves after bombs.

I've been to Wrigley, Miller, Turner, and Citizens Bank. My favorite out of all of them was Wrigley, but a very close second was Miller. It had a very traditional feel to it, but had a roof. The fans were great too

I'm really going to dread wearing my Indians gear into Yankee Stadium

All the games I watch they have a roof on.

Meh. That roof stays closed from about June onwards. Houston has been the world's most air conditioned city since the 1950s for a reason.

The Braves. I used to watch them when I was a kid back in the 90's, with chipper, maddux and glavine.
