Which is why I have adopted the Diamondbacks... but, since they're National League and my Mariners are American League, I can root for both since the odds of them meeting in the World Series are next to zero...
Yeah, I don’t mind having a fall-back favorite. Back when I was a football fan, I’d sometimes have a 2nd favorite due to liking certain players. I’m not a Diamondbacks fan, but I think Goldschmidt is one of the most solid players in baseball. It’s really exciting when the local team does well and makes the playoffs, and eveybody wears the team’s shirts to work.
