Ha ha!! Andy Grady did the almost exact same thing when we were in NYC this year.
He was one of two Announcers at the NYC regional on Saturday, and made a comment like "Now as you may know I am from Massachusettes and am a big Red Sox Fan.." which brought a huge response from the crowd, and a outbreak of laughter by me, and then he continued, "But, since I am in NYC now, I want to hear everyone here who is a Yankee fan make some noise" in which a deafening roar was heard by the audience.

Sometimes, you have to put a personal touch on the event, and make fun of yourself to a certain extent.
