New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has a few reasons to root for the Red Sox in the World Series.
For one, he plays in Massachusetts, so he has a natural rooting interest in a team from Boston winning a title.
Two, he hails from San Mateo and grew up rooting for the Giants.

SIGN UP HERE On the latest episode of The Kirk and Callahan Show on WEEI in Boston, Brady was asked if he hates the Dodgers.
“I do. I was a Giants fan growing up, and now I’m a Red Sox fan," Brady said. "So it couldn’t set up any better for the Red Sox to win the World Series, and I think they’re going to do it. It’s going to be a lot of fun to watch.”
Brady is the latest Patriot to pronounce his hatred for the Dodgers. Redwood City native Julian Edelman made it very clear over the weekend that he dislikes the Giants' bitter rival.
"I hate the Dodgers," Edelman told reporters Friday. "I hate the Dodgers. I mean, I'm a San Francisco guy."
