"Being born in Scarborough and growing up in the Toronto area it is great to have professional soccer here," said De Rosario. "The support that Toronto FC gets is amazing. The fan base is tremendous and they are passionate, knowledgeable fans." (C/O TorontoFC.ca)

What's promising news for Toronto FC fans is that De Rosario has never had a year without a playoff game since his start with San Jose in 2001. Perhaps that tradtion will live on with The Reds.
