I’ve lived in New England for 24 years. I’ve lived in NY (go Rangers!) KC, Philly, Tampa, Boston (go Red Sox!), and Atlanta.

So why isn't it "go Bruins!" ....?

Lived on Long Island throughout high school right when the Islanders were going to five straight StanleyCup finals (winning four straight), but my father worked in the garment section of New York City, right next to Madison Square Garden. So I had Ranger season tickets for five years. It was tough times living among the Islander fans but I made it out alive …while living in Philly in 1994 I attended game two of the Stanley Cup finals (Rangers would win the cup over the Canucks). Thus, I’ve put up with both Bruins, Flyers, and Islander fans in my life…the worst by far were Flyer fans…complete trash people. I am actually heading to Madison Square Garden in two weeks to see the Rangers play the Devils…hopefully this year is finally a playoff year. As I mentioned earlier, I’ve seen all of my teams win a championship except the one that means the most. Hopefully soon…

I’ve already explained this like 1000 times. But I’ll do it again. I’ve lived in New England for 24 years. I’ve lived in NY (go Rangers!) KC, Philly, Tampa, Boston (go Red Sox!), and Atlanta. My Ram fandom started in 1974. Living in a small southern town before cable there were 4 tv channels. At that time the 1:00pm game was always the Falcons. I was never a fan of them and hardly anyone cheered for them as they were terrible. Because the Falcons were in the NFC West at the time, that meant that the 4 o’clock game how to include an NFC west team. Thus, we got a lot of Rams and 49er games during that time. So to answer your question I essentially grew up on the Rams. I loved those teams from the 1970s but they would usually lose to the Cowboys or Vikings in  the playoffs. Although I I followed the The team in St. Louis it wasn’t the same as them being in Los Angeles. So when I moved back five years ago, it was pretty special to me relative to my childhood. I could tell you hundreds of stories regarding my Ram fandom experience (flying to see them play, **** I used to do when I was younger) that are funny as hell but I’ll save that for another time. Oh, and by the way, I hate the Patriots and suffered like hell when they beat the Rams three years ago. The Red Sox are the only team around here I support. Now I’ve seen all of my teams win at least one championship…except one…USF has to win a conference championship at some friggin point before I die.

Los Angeles??  Now I know why you feel akin (soft spot) to me..The LA kid connection. 1959(yep World Series Champs year). I was their bat boy for 5 games in Sarasota (spring training). My idol "The Duke".(prob before you were born so consider this LA Historical Perspective) Thought you might get a kick out of some LA old days stuff.

BTW thanks for the historical perspective of "The NEB". Now I don't have to buy the book or rent the movie....

Those were the nicest bunch of guys to a little kid back then. Just regular guys. Play catch with you. Converse with you. My son has the autographed ball from that team I finally parted with it a few years ago. Obviously, that made me a LA Dodgers fan for many years. Walt Alston (Mgr) always made it a point to take me around and introduce me to the visiting team. I lived down the street, so I was a baseball park rat. of course, I did hear some cuss words back then I had never heard before. The locker room sights and sounds were an enlightening experience for a 10 yr old Catholic school kid.

Nice… yes that was a different time indeed. Certainly the players were a whole lot different. That’s really cool how you were able to get that close and be a part of that team with the manager. I am sure you have some great stories from that time.
