gerard i dont see any harm with fans hopping on once their team starts winning ....if you live in that city its your right to be a fan. yes, i will agree that part of being a true fan of a team is rooting for them when they suck too. i have been a lifelong whitesox fan, and part of being a fan is the agony of losing....so when you do win (or if) , the joy is that much better.

your argument for flaming bandwagon yankee fans is irrelevant imo, there are plenty of lifelong yankee fans. and btw, most sports teams fan base's derive from ppl hopping on once they start winning. look at the marlins from last yr. during the yr they couldnt draw 20 thousand fans a game....once september came around....capacity crowds of 50 thousand plus a night.
