I don’t understand how a guy lives 36 years in Chicago and is still a Cardinals fan. For me, much of the fun in sports is rooting for the home team. If one lives in a market without one, then fine, choose who you like. I was a Dodgers fan until my family moved to Houston. I had never lived in a city with major leage sports. It took a few years, but I became an Astros fan since the early 70’s. If I moved to a different city with a major league team, I’d eventually get into the spirit and root for my new home team.
I am a Cubs fan and root for the Cardinals when they are in the post season but only when it is not against the Cubs.

Go Cubs!
