Who doesn’t love a good underdog story? I have always been a fan of underdogs for a long as I remember and always preferred to root for the underdog. Here's why you should, too.

1. When the underdogs win, it makes for a hell of a headline.

2. Especially when there is more than one underdog involved, anything can happen.

3. No one likes to see the same person/team win every year.

4. What’s even better is when the champion becomes the underdog-- a good redemption story is always great to see.

5. If you haven’t seen the footage from the Pirates' 2013 season, I highly recommend you go watch it.

It is one of the best sports seasons of an underdog team you will ever see.

6. The movie that really got me into underdogs is Never Back Down.

Once again I recommend giving it a watch, it puts the main character in a seemingly lose-lose situation, and he gets out of it through hard work and sheer determination. It is amazing to watch and leaves an empowering message.

7. The Mighty Ducks... need I say more?

8. For all you wrestling fans, you see underdogs square off with the world’s best all the time.

And the moment they win, there’s nothing like it.

9. If you are an honest Penguins fan, you would probably be lying if you said you knew who Bryan Rust was before the playoffs last year.

All it takes is a few clutch plays from a guy like him, and they become greatness. It’s a great story to watch.

10. The underdog always gets the girl.

Sorry tough guys, nice guys don’t always finish last.
