Julian Edelman has become a star wide receiver for the New England Patriots, but he will always stay true to his Bay Area roots.
Edelman has naturally become a Boston Red Sox fan and will be cheering for them in the World Series. He also has a dream scenario for this year's Fall Classic.
"I hate the Dodgers," Edelman said to reporters on Friday. "I hate the Dodgers. I mean, I'm a San Francisco guy. It's like Boston-New York diet over there. I hope they do make it and the Sox pound 'em."
