I have to admit that my interest wanes a bit when the Pirates stink, but baseball is kind of a different animal in that they play every night (if you think it's tough to subject to yourself to suckiness on a weekly basis, try doing it daily).  But never have I been tempted to root for the Yankees, Giants, etc.
 

I know a guy in Northern W Va who is a Steelers-Reds fan.  He's about my age so he would have started following sports in the 70s.  I wonder how he arrived at those teams.
