are there any 49er fans that are Dodger fans? I've lived in Northern California since the early 80s and never met one
that would be like a Patriots fan who loves the Lakers
I've lived my entire life on the East Coast and chose my favorite teams when I was a kid. For some reason, all West Coast teams. SF Giants, LA Lakers and the Rams.
The Giants had New York ties, obviously, and I picked them because Willie Mays was a hero of mine as a kid. Back then, I couldn't understand how
anyone would choose the Dodgers over the Giants. But that's the way fandom goes.
Did you grow up in NorCal? Why did you decide to root for the LA teams instead? Particular players? Again, that was pretty much it for me. Jerry West, Elgin Baylor (then Wilt); Willie Mays, McCovey, Marichal; Deacon, Merlin, Roman, etc. etc.
