Northeast PA so naturally I am an Oakland A's fan since I love staying up until 1:30 to watch the games.

Currently in San Antonio, TX, by way of Virginia Beach (due to military service). Was raised in Worcester, MA though.

Re: where are you from and whose your team???

I was born in Arlington, Virginia and grew up in Annapolis, Maryland. As a kid, I wasn't overly interested in the Orioles. Everyone at my school seemed to blindly follow them. I enjoyed guys like Alomar and Palmeiro but after that offseason where they were replaced by Will Clark and Delino DeShields, I stopped caring.

A few years before that, I went to a game at Camden Yards where I watched a guy by the name of Ken Griffey Jr. take the field. I was instantly a Mariner fan based on him alone and later Edgar Martinez as I learned more about the team. They've been my team ever since.

2005 rolls around, DC gets a team. I take up the Nationals, too. They're close, they're in the other league, they're easy to follow and they're essentially an expansion team after the screwjob that was MLB telling the front office they were going to absolve the team. Last year, the Nats get a new stadium and it's right across the street from my dad's office building. I frequently go to games with him. He's got a package of like 20 a year, not to mention any office giveaways.

To sum it up, I'm both a Nationals and Mariners fan, and making me pick would be too hard. Right now, I'm probably more excited about the Nats as they have two picks in the top ten of the draft.
