Why do we become a fan of a particular team? Why do we align ourselves with a single uniform, a single tradition, forsaking all others? It's an interesting question.
For a lot of people it's a question of geography. For others it's heredity. And for some it's being ignored by one player on a team you love and an act of kindness from a player on a team you're supposed to hate that switches your loyalty.
So goes the story of Allie Tarantino of Stamford, Connecticut. And the inspiration for his book, "I Love the Red Sox, I Hate the Yankees." Haven't read it but: Jim Ed for the win.
