The first baseball game I ever saw live was a Cubs-Brewers game at six years old. Yet, the first sports team apparel I ever wore was a toddler-sized Indians’ jersey.
I have lived in the Chicago suburbs my entire life, and I have taken the city’s teams as my own. However, because I was born to two parents born and raised just outside of Cleveland, I’ve always reserved a soft spot in my heart for Cleveland sports. Unless the team was playing the Cubs, I’ve always rooted for the Indians as my second team. Due to both teams’ history, I never thought I’d have to take sides in a World Series.
