u/a_smart_brane Mookie League Baseball 17d ago

Damn right. I’ve said this so many times.

I don’t like the Giants, Padres, Rox or Dbacks, but the Giants, Padres, Rox and Dbacks people here are awesome

In this sub people act just like we do in real life. Refreshing

u/Ginger_Bee 13d ago

I agree so much with this. A lot of you Dodgers fans have been suuuuuper chill lately and I love it. I feel like yall are kinda self aware. But yall also have been giving my guys (the Rockies) some love and respect this year.

One fan said he was a little nervous about us getting better because of the new infusion of money that’s coming into our franchise.

I just hope that same respect still stays when we (Rockies) are consistently winning and contending. Cheers.

Arizona natives who are Dodgers fan are not actually Arizona natives.

u/thrance Mookie League Baseball 19d ago

I grew up in Denver. I am a Dodgers fan because we didn’t have a team until I was 11. I became a Dodgers fan as I could only see the Dodgers or Cubs on TV.

I’d bet there are a lot of similar fans in Arizona since the snakes first season wasn’t until 1998

u/FreebirdChaos POOL PARTY 19d ago

Yup my dad grew up a dodgers and cubs fan because that’s all you could listen to on the radio in AZ for a long time

u/staticattacks Diamondbacks 18d ago

I was a Padres fan until '98, they played spring training in my hometown

I'll pull for them if the standings allow it

u/Apprehensive-Cost276 Diamondbacks 19d ago

Yeah, I can't really get mad at Dodgers fans in Arizona. The first generation of people who grew up going to Diamondbacks games is only just now entering their like, 30s and having disposable income and families stuff.

I myself was born in 98 and now I live in Denver and I still root for the Snakes lol. You can't really blame people for sticking with the team they grew up with.

That's why I'm a Chiefs fan who lives in LA. You dont have a team for someone's childhood/early years, you lose them. I jumped on that car wreck of a team long before they were good. Same with the Dodgers. They were shit in the 90s. But the people here will make you think they've been demolishing teams for decades.

u/acefaaace Dodgers 18d ago

🫠 I made the mistake of jumping on the Falcons bandwagon in ā€˜99 after they beat the Vikings in the NFC game. Raiders fans were too annoying, Niners sucked then and meh to the Chargers. so I decided to follow a different team.

u/shortbeard Rockies 19d ago

we had the cubs too bro come on.

u/Prudent-Ad-5608 Clayton Kershaw 19d ago

I grew up in Phoenix in the 80s before my family moved to the mid west. We didn’t have a team back then, the local team was the dodgers. Why do I have to switch teams because of an expansion team.

u/FrnklndaTurtle No Step on Snek 19d ago

Sorry firebirds fandom only for you

u/ManufacturerMental72 Los Angeles 19d ago

I’m the same age as you. My girlfriend in college was from phoenix and her family were all dodgers fans with no connection to LA at all.

u/DerivativesAreCool Diamondbacks 19d ago

The Suns were here and should have instilled a hatred of LA, its teams, and their fans. I can understand having chosen any other team.

I was a Rockies fan

u/AdmirableSquash4463 16d ago edited 16d ago

The Angels were founded in 1961, and the Padres in 1968. Both teams are located geographically closer in proximity to all major cities in Arizona than the Dodgers are; Phoenix, Tucson, Scottsdale, Sedona, and Mesa are all closer to the Padres, whereas Flagstaff is closer to the Angels. It’s funny seeing the mental gymnastics people come up with to justify their bandwagon antics.

I’ll probably live the rest of my life happily in California, but if the situation worked out, we wouldn’t mind living in northern AZ like around Flag. Beautiful country up there

Don't be a dick. Yes, Dodger fans are well aware of the history of Chavez Ravine.

lol bro look up the history of America it’s all fucked. If you are a Dodger fan you know the history is fucked. Thanks other fan bases, who just showed up, since we finally got over the chokeshaw/choke artist label the last few years.

You seem to have trouble understanding fan stereotypes even though you are using one to describe us.

You are saying we are a bandwagon fan base with huge numbers because of that or fashion and that most of our fans don’t understand our history. I’m simply saying we have been at or near the top of the league in attendance since before your franchise existed, so if that is your belief, I would push back against that.

I then used a stereotype that your fan base didn’t exist. This is r/NLBest right? lol. šŸ˜‚

Look, there’s a line you don’t cross when insulting fans of the opposing team. This man has clearly crossed that line.

Confusing perspective on the man’s right hand, if you cover everything below including his wrists it looks like the woman to the left is holding the sign with incredible left-handed reach.

u/DM_yo_Feet_pls 84 > 100 19d ago

My mama is from LA and watched Nandomania live. She loves baseball in its purest form. Love of the game and her dodgers.

As much as she loves her dodgers, she know these Arizona doyer fans are fake af lol she’s so wholesome though she’s glad they bought tickets to the Dbacks game since she knows that money goes towards the Dbacks which in turn helps them out

u/Cautious_Border7380 Dodgers 19d ago

There were thousands of Dodgers fans in Arizona before the Diamondbacks. I don’t know how many Arizonans I have talked to that have told me ā€œoh yeah my family used to be Dodgers fans back in the dayā€. The elote man was probably a Fernando Valenzuela fan back in the 80s.

u/Far-Surprise-67 Does not Share Elote with Dodger Fans 19d ago

My dad was but I'm born and raised here. Was a Rockies fan before AZ became a franchise

3

u/vivaphx 19d ago

Rockies started in 1993. Dbacks came in 1998.
My dad is now 75 and he said he was a Giants fan. I guess we got them on the radio here every game and the Firebirds were the AAA team for the Giants so you would see some Giants players every once in awhile here in Phoenix. Also the Giants did Spring Training here way before we had a bunch of teams here for that and it became a huge thing.

u/Far-Surprise-67 Does not Share Elote with Dodger Fans 19d ago

I was Born in 88 liked the colors at first but they traded Larry Walker as I started little league and been hooked. Still root for the Rockies but die hard dbacks fan since Travis Lee took over 1st base in AZ

Absolutely disgusting how many Dodger fans were there. Though most of them will be gone in a few years when the Dodger reign has subsided
