Poll--Have you ever.....? {details inside}?

Have you ever disliked a player on another team, but then liked him once he came to your favorite team?

For example, I hated Johnny Damon when he was on the Red Sox, but when he played with the Yankees, he became one of my favorite players! Same with Nick Swisher: didn't like him on the White Sox, but now he's one of my favorite Yankees.

Yes, I readily admit that this is incredibly hypocritical of me, but when players aren't on the Yankees, I just see them as the other team.

Has this ever happened to any other baseball fans, or is it just me? Be honest! =]

    I have to agree with Wade Boggs, I was shocked that the Yankees signed him after the 1992 season, but the Yankees lost Charlie Hayes in the expansion draft to the Colorado Rockies so they were desparate for a 3rd baseman at the time, but Boggs was a big part of the 96 Championship team.

    John Lackey. During the ALDS this year, I was on vacation in Anaheim during the series... NOT a good time to be there as a Red Sox fan. but that's beside the point, he may be a good pitcher, but i did not like tha guy. i'm no fan yet, but i'm glad he'll be on the sox these next seasons...

    I may be happy to have him on the sox, but he will never be one of my favorite players. that would pretty much go against all i believe in baseball-wise. Pedroia and Ellsbury are sooooo much cooler :D ...lol

    Can't wait til the 2010 season <3

    I have never really hated a player but there are some I dislike. My choice would probably be Gary Sheffield! One that never changed tho was when Pavano came from the Marlins to the Yanks and hardly logged any IP over the course of 3 season!

    Source(s): Yanks 2010!

    I could not stand Luis Tiant when he pitched for the Red Sox. He was such a pain to try and hit, even if he did nt have his best stuff. When he came to the Yankees then I loved him. My Yank didn't have tobe frustrated by him any more. Too bad the Yanees didn't have him when he was younger.

    Nope i hated Petitte when he left for houston and still hate him now that he is back, i might like players a little more when they are yankees like granderson, swisher or burnett but i think for the most part the team they play for doesn't affect my like or dislike of them

    For Jason Bay it is the exact opposite. I loved him when he played for the Pirates, but now I absolutely hate his guts. Pirates fans felt the same way about Barry Bonds too.

    I can't say I have.

    I don't really hate any players, (unless they do something good against my Jays, then I will be really mad at them). I try to respect all players equally, plus, All the player that joined the Jays, I kind of liked before they joined.
