Oddly enough,
I'm a former Brewers fan who declared his fan free agency after enduring too many woeful seasons. I prefer the National League, and I'd prefer to root for a Midwestern team. But I can't root for the Cardinals because I still hold it against them for beating the Brewers in the '82 World Series. During spring training last year I started following the Giants. We are a diverse household: my son is a huge Yankees fan (we include Derek Jeter in our bedtime prayer every night, while he recovers from his shoulder separation), my wife likes the Braves, and my daughter likes the Phillies.
