Moms Talk: Picking A Favorite Team

Should you encourage your kid to follow your allegiance to a certain team?

One of my earliest memories is going to baseball games with my dad.

I remember showing up super early for batting practice at old Busch Stadium and watching the Cardinals play. My father grew up in Nashville, but had always been a Cardinals fan thanks to the power of KMOX (and the power of Bob Gibson, I guess).

My family moved to St. Louis months before I was born so I was indoctrinated into the Cardinal culture since birth. My dad, or my mom for that matter, didn't push me into following their favorite team, it just happened.
