Supporters of the Royals seem to be in the majority tonight.
I barely follow baseball, but I do have roots, as my grandmother was a Phillies fan, and I used to listen to the games on radio when I visited her as a kid. When the Phillies won in 1980, I was wreck! That blindsided me. I didn't know I cared.
Well, as circumstance would have it, I listened to the Royals Angels final game during a car trip, and saw the very ending on TV upon arrival. So, I became a sort of Royals fan, as who wouldn't. Then you've got regional associations, and I'm always against California, because they're such smarty-pants.
I take it that these are the sorts of influences that add up.
