What a great topic! I'm glad it's regained some activity as I haven't been a member of this board very long.
Washington Nationals - My NL team. Started following them around 2008. Before that I didn't really follow baseball at all. The sport has quickly become my favorite. My step-son was stationed at Bolling AFB which is across the Potomac from the stadium. We started attending games as something to do while visiting him. My wife and I have been huge fans ever since.
Minnesota Twins - My AL team. They are a very distant second to the Nats. Love the same color scheme and there's something about Target Field I really like. Hope to get there one day!
Philadelphia Flyers - My US team. I live around Lancaster, PA so we are a Philly suburb. A bunch of guys at work are Flyers die-hards. They got me into following hockey. It is now my second favorite sport.
Ottawa Senators - My Canadian team. I love their uniforms and I'm a fan of Erik Karlsson. The thing I like about the NHL is it's the only sport out of the power four that has this many teams north of the border. I wish more cities had more NBA, NFL and MLB teams.
Washington Redskins - I used to like the Kansas City Chiefs way back before there was NFL Sunday Ticket and other online avenues to see your favorite team. I had a hard time following the Chiefs because they were never on TV. Many years ago I decided to make the switch to a team that was within traveling distance. I despised the Eagles and Ravens so my next choice was Washington. Since then I've learned about the history of the team and have followed them closely.
West Virginia Mountaineers - My cousin attended this university. My family spent some time visiting with her and touring the campus. We caught a football game one weekend and we've been followers of them since.
North Carolina Tar Heels - My step-son has been reassigned to an AFB in Goldsboro, NC. When he moved there we decided to following a local college team. We both had always liked the UNC basketball program. Thus, we now follow their sports.
Orlando Magic & Philadelphia 76ers - Basketball is my least favorite out of the four majors and college. I don't follow it much. I used to like to watch the Orlando Magic back in the Shaq and Penny Hardaway days. I was just a kid then. I guess if I really got into it, I would pull for them and the 76ers since I could actually get to Wells Fargo to catch a game.
