Only 3 teams [4 at times] have my enduring interest. Chiefs, Jayhawks, ManU [and Royals].
Chiefs I followed from Hackett-->Smith-->DT
Jayhawks I followed from Manning, Kellog and Turgeon
Royals from Brett, McRae, Porter, White, Washington and Wilson
ManU from Giggs, Scholes, Ince and Kancheslskis
Other stuff I follow based on what's the story of the season, playoff series, or day.
Those 3/4 had my entire attention, though my Royals fandom lived and died with Brett, until they got back on track a few years back. But when I fell off the Royals, I fell off ALL baseball. I didn't bandwagon hop, even though I lived in StL during a heyday.
Plus, ManU eventually had Rooney, who is as close to if I managed to be a pro athlete as I've seen. Shortish, stubby white dude with good ball placement. [Why I'm so enamored of Shiqiri today]
I also have more ManU jerseys than any other 'kit' unless you count my 1/2 dozen Jayhawk 'tees'
