So did I... growing up, 18 years in Jersey outside of Philly. I have no allegiance to some team just because I lived in or near their city at one point in my life. I find the notion of "being stuck" rooting for a team kinda laughable in that regard.

When I lived in DC I rooted for the Orioles (pre - Nats), when I lived in Pittsburgh I rooted for the Pirates. Now I happily live in Tampa Bay, have been rooting for the Rays since I got here (and that has been no small feat ) and look forward to an exciting Series. Good luck to you!

Thank you!! Yeah I grew up a diehard Philly sports fan. Was brainwashed from my Father at a very early age. I just cant go for any team besides the Eagles, Phillies and Sixers. I'm not that into hockey.

I'd cheer for the Rays if it wasnt the Phillies they are playing! Good luck to you also!
