In sports, someone who selectively cheers for a particular team (Team A) not because he likes them or follows them faithfully, but only because another team (Team B) that he does not like, happens to be doing worse than Team A. This person then enjoys ridiculing fans of Team B, and often will claim that they have been "a fan forever", but only for the time being, because when Team B performs better than Team A, they then go back into hiding and remain silent.
The Rudde bandwagoner hopped on the band wagon and bragged about the Padres, but only when they were doing better than the Dodgers.

Get the bandwagoner mug.In baseball, someone who shamelessly cheers for the Boston Red Sox not because they follow the team, grew up in close proximity, or even really like them but because of the Red Sox recent period of success and popularity.
When the Red Sox finally miss the playoffs (as they did in 2010), or lose their coolness, the Boston Bandwagoner loses interest in the team and (often) in baseball.
Generally, Boston bandwagoners quote Jon Papelbon and love to say the name "Big Papi" using a a Boston accent... "Big Pawpi." They also talk about Dustin Pedroia's short stature, team-mentality and try to convince you of his legitimacy as an MVP-caliber second baseman.
