baseball in Brooklyn

Here's a fun thought experiment that occurred to me while walking to the train today:

How would your loyalties be divided if National League baseball came back to Brooklyn?

I am too young to have my own memories of the Brooklyn Dodgers, but I was raised by Dodger fans, and so I feel a certain inherited longing for Ebbets Field. There is certainly a part of me that would feel a strong pull to root for an MLB team in Brooklyn, particularly now that I live here in the borough of our familial and baseball ancestors.

Never the less, I've been a Mets fan all my life. I think my friend Joe put it perfectly when he said, "I mean, they'd totally be my second favorite team..." Mine, too. Right after the Mets.
