Also a Cubs fan here but hard to say... I grew up in north florida so the only 2 baseball teams we got were the braves and the cubs (TBS and WGN) ... and well, I hated the Braves. I also knew Andrew Dawson from his days at FAMU (my dad ran a gym here back then.)

So which team do you guys over all think has had the most true blue fan base over the years?
Wow this subject is being rehashed for the 10,453,984 time.

Puke.

If you know the thread is going to be a "wrecking ball of a thread" why even start it?

I once went to a Cubs game w/o even really knowing the rules of baseball. Lucky me the true fan police didn't catch me.
I'm not saying that you can't go to the game and drink and have a good time. But there are people who do that and are fine about it and then there are the others - those are the ones who are chugging down a beer, having no regard that others are there, standing in in front of others, just ignorant things like that. Do I care if you people go there and aren't necessarily watching the game pitch for pitch? Absolutely not. I just don't appreciate ignorant people...in anything really.

So I just learned today that Chicago has more than 2 teams

Cubs and Mets? I think I forget.

What other teams do they have?
I didnt know citites can have more than one team. Apparently LA has several teams too

huh? They have 2... not more than two...

Chicago has White Sox and the Cubs
NYC has the Mets and the Yankees
LA has the Angels and the Dodgers
SF has the Giants and the Athletics.

Cubs and Sox fans are equally loyal. But there are more Cubs fans overall.

As a lifelong Cubs fan, (and I am probably older than most of you).....I gotta say there cannot even be a comparison.

CUBS FANS ARE THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE!!

As a lifelong White Sox fan, I'll disagree with this.

Yea, they're the best alright, I especially like the guy who removed a Brewers fans eye for the fun of it.
