Well for me, here's why I became a Nationals fan. First off, coincidentally enough my second favorite team growing up was the Montreal Expos. Then even more coincidentally enough the Expos moved (sort of) to Puerto Rico temporarily. Being part Puerto Rican, that was pretty cool.

Also, I'm more of a National League fan to begin with. And finally, I used to work in Lanham, MD with a lot of coworkers who were from, or lived near the Baltimore area. I'm more into the National League anyway. And spending time with them made me realize I don't really know that area at all. They would talk about suburbs they live in-Brooklyn Park, White Marsh, Catonsville, Pikesville, etc.-and those places mean nothing to me. Then when I would talk about Dupont Circle, Chevy Chase, Tenleytown, Kentlands, etc.-they'd be at a loss (as I'm sure many of you are right now). So the Nats feel more like the home team

So I gotta go with the Nationals for the reason above. But I still have a place in my heart for the Os. And I like the Twins because they're AA team is just 2 0 minutes from me, and the Marlins just because.

I'm going to move this to the Other Sports forum.
