Mine has to be the Phillies. Even though they sucked in recent years, I still love my Phillies and I hope they reach the playoffs and win it all in these next few years!

      I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember guys like Jeromy Burnitz, Geoff Jenkins, and Marquis Grissom. I loved watching them play.

    I grew up watching GI Joe and Transformers on WGN in the early-80’s. Because Wrigley didn’t have lights, I’d occasionally run into a Cubs game on WGN in the afternoon and was too lazy to actually go outside and play.

    I learned pretty much everything about baseball listening to Steve Stone.

    So yeah, it was the Cubs up until after 2016. The WS was awesome, but the new owners are pretty crap, so I’m mostly just a fan of baseball now.

      The owners are awful! Complaining about them has become a person past time of mine while watching the games.

    Red Sox.

    I got into baseball in the mid-late 90s, right in the middle of the Yankees’ dominant run. I was a budding contrarian, so the Sox became my team.

    I grew up an Orioles fan (still my AL team) but just recently moved to Pittsburgh. So I’m all in on the buccos!

    I have two favorite teams. The San Diego Padres and whoever is playing against the Dodgers.

    I’m a Marlins fan. Excited that we are looking like a contender so far this year. If Sandy can get back to consistent form we could really make a push for the playoffs.

    Hoping someone can get something Nationals going. Especially since we need the gifs on here

    Die hard Chicago Cubs fan! I’ve been a fan for 10 years now. I’m hoping to see them compete late into October over the next few years.

    Braves are closest to me and I grew up on TBS so I love them. But I loved Griffey Jr so the Mariners are my second choice and my underdog team.

    Giants, and they’re off to a good start.

    Been a Yankees fan all my life! But as I get older, it’s more that I’m an all around baseball fan but the Yankees are just who I root for.

    Family migrated from South American to NYC, straight into queens and the flushing neighborhood. So…
