Nats - grew up in VA, but for longest time no local team to cheer.

Other teams I cheer (follow)

Twins - growing up, my family explained how the Nats moved to Minnesota. Plus spent some time in Naples, Fl which was close to the Twins spring training. Got to see Kirby, Gaetti, Hrbek, etc back when they were trying to break into the bigs

White Sox - lived in Chicago for a couple years and went to many a Cubs and White Sox games. The White Sox fans were loyal and such a different vibe there.

Cubs - wife's team. I am a season ticket holder, and enjoy going to Wrigley.

Astros - hometown had a Stros single A team back in the day. Bruce Bochy, JR Richard, Cesar Cedeno, etc

Padres - used to a lot of work in San Diego, and now love Petco. Plus listening to Dick Enberg call games was so great.

Brewers - very close friend was neighbors with Sal Bando...so went to quite a few Brewers games in the 90s. Plus Miller Park is a great time, and old County Stadium...so terrible it was fun.

I know, TL/DR....I LOVE BASEBALL or am a baseball whore...bring on the season

Yankees fan because of my dad. He grew up following them in the 50s and 60s. Him and my grandfather actually went up to New York to go see them once.

I guess the Marlins. It REALLY sucks they aren't Florida anymore though.

I like to listen the Giants radio broadcast because of Jon Miller. LOVED White Sox games because of Hawk but he's done now.

All of them
Really I will follow any team and watch them all via MLB TV. Yankees arey favorite but I watch a lot of baseball during the season. 4-6 games a weekend and at least 1 game every night.

Phillies now. I’m a Harper fan, so I root for his team. The Astros are really fun to watch and I think the Braves have potential to be quality entertainment as well.

Baltimore Orioles, who will suck for quite some time but that's ok.

At least no one can call me bandwagon, like ever.

Cincinnati Reds. Jumped on the Big Red Machine bandwagon as a 5 year old. Even though we are now the Little Red Wagon I've been there through thick and thin.

Who is your "team" in the MLB?

St. Louis Cardinals primarily because it's the only MLB city where I have family and they also happen to be a great franchise so made the choice real easy
