I always wondered where a new franchise builds its fanbase from.</p> <p>Did most of you just transfer over from being fans of the Expos to being fans of the Nats? Are some of you misplaced and disgruntled former Orioles fans?</p> <p>How about baseball newcomers? Did having a alternative baseball team in the DC area make some of you former non-baseball fans into Nationals fans?</p> <p>This has always made me curious and I really would like to know. Thanks for reading and replying and it's nice to meet ya'll.</p> <p>Come by and chat at BleedCubbieBlue from time to time.</p>
