Not from there. My justification for being an Indians fan is in the original post. Roll Tribe

Born and raised in Houston, so the Astros will always be my number one team. I'm also a Rockies fan since I've been livin here for a little over 6yrs now. I go to about 12 or so games a season. Went today actually, company seats righ behind the on deck circle looking down the Rockies dugout. Baller seats.

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

You mean like the red Sox fans in Louisiana?

Mom's whole side of family is from Atlanta area. Used to go down there all the time and watch games.

And when back home in Shreveport, was easy to follow the Bravos since they were often on TBS at that period of time.

My dad is a fan of the Twins. He is because he used to be a fan of the Yankees until he got into a fight with his brother and decided to root for the team that came in second in the AL that year. I just adopted it from him. Not to mention the Teins wine their second WS after I was born.

1. There is no team in my region. The closest team is in Houston.

2. I hate the Yankees.

3. No one hates the Yankees as much as the Red Sox.

4. As a Saints and Tigers fan, I'm a glutton for punishment and when I started following the Sox, they were still a consistent under dog and/or disappointment.
