If any of you say the Dodgers, we’re banishing you.
Good morning, baseball fans!
We are all fans of the San Francisco Giants. At least I’d like to think so, given you are here, reading a blog about them. But today, I want to know which other teams you root for when the Giants aren’t involved.
I have a complicated tier of rooting interests, myself. But I’d have to say my second favorite National League team is the New York Mets. Even before I met my best friend, who is the notoriously odd Mets fan from Norway. I found them to be a lot of fun in their 2015 run to the World Series, even if they were ultimately unsuccessful.
That said, my favorite teams to root for (mostly during the postseason) tend to change year by year, depending on where they are in the underdog/not underdog narrative. I was all in on the Washington Nationals in 2019 from the Wild Card game. And for many seasons, my only rooting interest is everyone’s second favorite team, the Not-Dodgers.
Really, my rooting interests can be summed up as Not-Dodgers and vibes. If the vibes are good, I’m invested. If the Dodgers are losing, I’m invested.
Who are your other favorite teams to root for?
