Nice choice for a username! yeah well...when i picked it, i kinda forgot about that, but if you take the 2 1/2 years off the time since i became a cubs fan it has been 29 years...just not consecutive...plus i never rooted for another team, just quit watchin baseball almost altogather for the years in question :) your loyalty trumps my age... more power to you! its kinda like remaining loyal to your wife, ya might quit havin sex for long periods at some point, but that doesnt mean you're tom catin around town...so your relationship brings you no joy, you ignore it for a while, but that doesnt mean you just jump in bed with the first baseball team to come along...anyway, i could have easily become a braves fan but i didnt(questioning my own judgement there)
