Yeah, I think folks who move to say, Pittsburgh, claim to maintain Mets fandom, but start leaning toward the Pirates when their kid starts living a breathing Buccaneerness, did two things: 1) Kept their fandom on the shelf way too long, continuing to file as a Met fan at the end of the year, but otherwise being passive except for an occasional "are they doing any good?" peek at the standings. 2) Failed to do the heavy lifting of indoctrination during the child's formative years. A few years back my daughters (then in Kindergarten and 3rd grade) came home from school to tell me "they had bad news." In the midst of the San Francisco's first WS run, they declared themselves Giants fans. Now they wear Panda or Posey shirts and gloat in another World Championship. They have it too easy.
