We have a farm team for the Mariners near us, the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. -
Normally, I do root my our Major League affiliate, which currently is the Washington Nationals. Our local team is Class AAA, the Syracuse Chiefs of the International League.
In addition, I normally root for the entire farm system:
Class League City Nickname Note

-A SAL Hagerstown Suns
-A NYP Auburn Doubledays near Syracuse -

However, minor league teams I do follow:
Camden Riversharks
Wilmington Blue Rocks
Aberdeen Iron Birds
When I was a kid, at least once a week, my dad and I or my grandfather and I (or sometimes all three of us) would go watch the Barons play. Rickwood Field was such a terrific stadium. -
I follow the Winston-Salem Dash and go to their games since they have a brand new stadium here in town, but I don't root for their major league affiliate which is the White Sox. It used to be the Reds so I kind of pulled for them at times because my grandparents are huge Reds fans.
