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."

The Giants' season may be over, but that doesn't mean their rivalry with the Dodgers is. The team was big fans of Edelman's comments and even liked the video on Twitter.
Edelman grew up in Redwood City and starred as a quarterback at Woodside High School. After high school, he played one year at the College of San Mateo where he threw for 1,312 yards and 14 touchdowns through the air while rushing for a school record 1,253 yards and 17 touchdowns.
