Valid question. I was a Braves fan because i started playing and enjoying baseball in the early 90's. I live in Northern Virginia and had never been to Baltimore and didnt know anyone that lived in Baltimore. So i felt like i could just pick a team. However, being a home town fan in all the other sports, when the Nationals came back to D.C. i broke ties with the Braves, threw away all of the Atlanta apparel. And started watching and attending Nationals games.

I guess a baseball sports fan, i felt homeless until they came back.
