Vibes around Kansas City are much more positive than around St. Louis

For years, despite living in the suburbs of Kansas City, I rooted for the St. Louis Cardinals over the Kansas City Royals. The reason is simple: my family all rooted for the Cardinals. Of the seven people in my immediate family, I arrived last, but more importantly, I was the only one not born in St. Louis.

I rooted for the teams for which my family rooted.
