I was one of only two Dodger fans in my class. It was a small class (less than 15) in a small town.

I grew up in deep red country and myself and the other Dodger fan grew up to be Democrats. The Yankee fans were/are Republicans. I learned then that Democrats pick the hopeful underdogs and the Republicans just had a deep need to be on the winning side no matter what.
