My family would always go to Astros games so I got that from them. Ever since I've been little I've pulled for the Red Sox and I picked up pulling for the Reds from my uncle since he has pulled for them all his life

My list is
1a) Reds
1b) Astros
2) Red Sox

oh no!!

give me a break. we scored ONE run in that game. blame your offense for getting worked over by Tiny Tim. 2 hits, 14 Ks.

either way.. that was a close and great series. Braves had plenty of opportunities to win but Giants were a scrappy bunch last season.

I started playing baseball before I could really watch baseball. My first team that had an MLB uniform was the Cards, which made me a Cards fan. Caused a few issues with my dad and his brothers because they grew up watching the Cubs.

Yeah you must be a little younger than me. I was stuck with the PARDS (local park league). They started doing real team logos right after I went and played for school. I wa so jealous my brother got all the cool, Yankee, mets, and A's hats when I had the cheap trucker looming hat with the PARDS logo

I'm 20 (almost 21) now. I started playing when I was 5, was the Cards when I was 7 or so, but our middle school never had a school baseball team so I played in out of school leagues (CYO, American Legion, etc.) until my "retirement" after my 8th grade year. . The last 3 of those years my team was the pirates, could you imagine being stuck pulling for them now

Care to explain why most Boston fans (assuming you are in your 20s or 30s) care the least about their historically best franchise? Just curious

Growing up, the only teams on tv where the Cubs and Braves, (WGN/TBS)

Became a fan of the Braves because most of their games were televised at night when I was at home, unlike the Cubs and their shitty day games
