Maybe the non-local team has a certain player they really enjoy watching? For example, In addition to growing up with my local Marlins as a kid, I also grew up a huge Seattle Mariners fan because Ken Griffey Jr. was such an incredibly fun player to watch that he became one of my all-time favorites. Or another reason might be that player that used to be on their local team signed somewhere else and the fan wants to keep following them. I always enjoyed following players that my home teams (AKA the Miami and St. Louis teams) let go to see how they do on their new teams, and some of them (like Miguel Cabrera going to the Tigers, or Albert Pujols to the Angels) made me start rooting for that team as sort of a "secondary" choice behind my home teams. --- #617 ~ http://i.imgur.com/OvLNxPq.jpg "You've gotta keep fighting, and get back up again... my champion!" <cite>Calwyn posted [p:879414302] in People wit...
