Cubs fan as a result of the exposure provided to them by WGN. I would get home from school, and a game would be on. Loved watching Mark Grace, Ryne Sandberg and Andre Dawson.

I grew up in SE Texas, so I've been an Astros and Rangers fan all my life. Always hated the Braves.

Growing up in Bunkie, I was rooting for the team I saw on TV all the time. I am a yankee fan. Im a HUGE LSU fan, Hornets and Saints fan. So had there been an MLB team in LA I would root for them.

like many Cubs fans in my age group, late 80s and early 90s summers off of school were spent watching many a Cubs day baseball games. WGN was basic cable and played just about every single Cubs game.

Watching Grace, Dawson, Sandberg, Maddux, etc during the summers year after year will make you a fan.



Yep. Hangin with grandpa while he sips on his 64oz cup of "heart medicine" watching the Cubbies on WGN.

Rangers.

Been a Rangers fan since I was a kid. When I was younger, my ultimate goal was to own the Rangers ... To say the least, I didn't achieve my goal.

Cubs fan. They were on WGN almost everyday growing up, and had players like Grace, Sandberg, etc...The Braves were on TV alot too, but I just gravitated toward the Cubs. Been a fan ever since I can remember.

I'm from Arizona and lived there for the first 18 years of my life. So yeah, I'm going to support my Dbacks.

So if you are from LA and have an affiliation, you are pathetic?

Oh and Cubs because of WGN when I was growing up. I will also keep up with the Padres now since I lived across the street from Petco Park for 3 months last year

Could've supported the longest affiliated big league club of the Zephyrs, the Milwaukee Brewers.
