I voted for the Yankees, Royals and our highly respected Brooklyn Dodgers. Baseball is too long of a season to truly follow more than one, and I do follow the Yankees more than any other professional sports franchise. Between Jeter and Judge was definitely a but more fairweather fandom, sad to say, but I'll chalk it up to coinciding with my exit from New York.

In the other divisions, I guess I cheer for the Phillies (The only Philly team I like!), Cardinals and I reckon the Angels.

1. Los Angeles Dodgers - I'm a big fan of Yasiel Puig, and only got into baseball because I watched Dodgers games a lot
2. Atlanta Braves - "Hometown" team
3. Miami Marlins - I like many of their players, and I always find myself rooting for them if I'm not for LAD or ATL.

Beyond that I really don't have an opinion, but I'll say 4 is Los Angeles Angels just because I respect their existence.

Giants, obviously.

Also kind of liking the Astros right now (depriving the Dodgers of a title is always a plus in my book.)

Giants, A's [hometown and more proletariat than the Giants], Hapless Phils, Orioles (former college town team, and the Nationals kinda sucked), Astros (current college...and they beat the Dodgers!)

The Cubs of course, with some minor appreciation for the White Sox, Tigers, and Red Sox.

I have a record of 16-9 going to Cubs games going back to 2004, which includes an unprecedented 8 game winning streak. That winning streak happens to include the final game in 2016. I started driving from Chicago at 12 pm central, got to Cleveland about two hours before game time. An hour and a half after the game ended, I got in the car and drove through the night the whole way back to Chicago on the greatest high of my life.

I'm 11-12 in all Cubs games, but I am 11-11 at Wrigley and 8-4 vs. the Cardinals at Wrigley. Smiley

Anyway, obviously the Cubs!

That's an awesome rivalry record. The Cubs did play them tough during the Cardinals' decade of dominance, but that's still really good. You should keep going to those games!

Aside from my hometown Tribe, I have a really soft spot for the KC Royals. Fond childhood memories of playing MVP Baseball 2005 on the PS2 and turning the last place ranked team in the game into a championship powerhouse. There happens to be a KC baseball cap in the house for no reason, and I cheered when they actually did win the WS.
