Evolution of a sports Philly sports fan

Back in June of 1994, I was a month shy of my 10th birthday. I had just started following hockey about a year earlier, and was of course, a Flyers fan. But they stunk during the early 90’s, so come playoff time, I would “adopt” a team and root for them to win it all: I took the Kings in 1993, (what little kid didnt love Gretzky?) In the spring of ’94, I adopted the Rangers. They were such a likable team, trying to end a long championship drought. They had so many players that I liked; Richter, Messier, Graves, Leetch, MacTavish. When they won, I was very happy for them and their fans. Jump ahead to 1995
