As a life long resident of Arizona I have to say go dbacks. Although I felt betrayed by them for not giving my hometown a minor league team. Yuma, AZ was the spring training site of the Padres for several years. I grew up getting autos of my favorite MLB players in my relatively small city. I once had the dilemma of going left to Tony Gwynn or going right for Ken Griffey Jr.. Got to meet several great players, the greatest being Jim Abbott. A true class act, I prefer character over performance. After the Padres left and AZ got a team I was sure baseball was back. Nope. Oh well. I hope to see them in another World Series. The 2001 series was one of the best I have seen. I almost felt bad for Yankee fans. Almost.
