Don't do it, David

David Brooks is contemplating changing his baseball allegiance from the Mets to the new Washington Nationals. He's making a big mistake.

Your baseball team is not a casual romance. It's part of you. A man and his team are like a married couple. Divorce is always messy.

David enjoy baseball with the Nationals, but you'll never be able to feel the same passion for this team that you feel for the Mets.

One of my favorite t.v. lines of all time was one I picked up from a British sit-com, Man About the House, which used to be on Channel 9 in NY. One of the two women was asking the guy why, seeing as he had moved from Southampton to London he didn't root for one of the London clubs. His response was great: "Just because a man changes his address doesn't mean he has to change his religion".
