Pittsburgh Pirates since the mid 1960's. Sucks but can't help myself. Once you're bought in you're stuck. We've been awful since the early 1990's.

However, my jersey number was 21 (clemente), my son's jersey number was always 21 and now so is my daughter's. Hopefully, my grandson's will be too.

Born and raised in Shreveport so lucky to have been a Giants fan my whole life because of the Captains! Still haven't gotten over them leaving town. My dad was in the front office so my fondest childhood memories involve Texas League baseball in the 80s and 90s. Not to mention we had some damn good ballclubs over the years including best record in the entire minor leagues early 90s. Royce Clayton, Steve Decker, Charlie Hayes, Dee Dixon, Rod Beck, Rich Aurillia to name a few favs on their way to the show. The Giants also came down several times to play an exhibition in the middle of the season at which I was a batboy. Will Clark, Matt Williams, Robby Thompson, Kevin Mitchell. If you are around 30 and grew up in Shreveport and cared/knew about baseball at all I cant imagine being a fan of anyone but the Giants! We came close only to lose the World Series several times but thank God we were finally rewarded these past several years! 2010 2012 World Series Champions! Only thing that got me through the LSU football season this year was another Series Title!

Is this the real Josh Booty? I have an autographed HR baseball somewhere that you hit against St. Mary's in Natchitoches when you were in high school. You also set the passing record against us.

Angels ever since I can remember. Most people around here are either Braves, Yanks, or Red Sox fans.

me and everyone I know are Rays fans

I'd say everyone in Louisiana is a Rays fan, or close to it

Rays and Twins, I'd say

Love the Cards as I have family near and used to go to games.

Cubs were always on cause of WGN. Also got to see every Bulls game and watched Jordan from rookie to retirement. Twice.

Astros were close enough by and went to a few games as well as Astroworld.

Still a fans of the Cardinals. Feel for the Cubs.

Rangers above everyone else.

Also pull for the Pirates because I grew up watching them (when they were good... Killer Bs era).

I'm an A's fan. Granted, I was born in the Bay Area and went to a ton of games before moving to Louisiana

Growing up in Southwest LA, it was about 60% Astros, 30% Braves, and 10% other teams. I was a Braves fan due to all the games on WTBS. We didn't get WGN here.

My dads good college friend lives in Chicago. We go visit him and take a trip to Wisconsin to catch some pike and go to at least one Cubs game.
However I hate that I am a Cubs fan.

I've been to about 50 games at Wrigley over the years.


Greatest sports venue I have ever been to.
