Uhh I was born in Grand Prairie and grew up in Arlington. I live in Dallas now. My family has had season tickets for over a decade. I went to the All-Star game at the Ballpark when I was a kid.
Thanks for the dickish assumption btw scorch. You're a cool guy.
And even if I wasn't from Texas, if I didn't grow up playing baseball for 15 years, and I wasn't a lifelong fan going to probably 10x more Rangers games than the average person, why can only people in close geographic proximity be fans of a team?? A person from Seattle couldn't be a Rangers fan based on a respect they have for the organization, the players, the team's play style, manager, etc..?
And what's so horrible about being a casual or bandwagon fan?? Do you guys really garner self-esteem based on how "hardcore" you are? If the team wins it all, they aren't going to mail you a World Series ring because you have a beer koozie collection going back to the team's Washington Senators days. You're just another dude sitting on his ass watching TV too. Quit pulling rank on everyone based on how long you've watched TV.
