I don't know about that. I've been a Cubs fan since I was 6 years old and caught the WGN signal from Chicago and watched Ryne Sandberg become a Hall of Famer. I've never lived outside WNY or the Charlotte area, so I can't watch many Cubs games. But I do follow them religiously through the Internet with live game casts, box scores, highlights, blogs, etc. And I would never dream of rooting for anybody else. If Charlotte ever got an MLB franchise, I'd have nothing to do with them unless the Cubs came to town; and I've never been to a Carolina Panthers game (until this season, at least )
