CSS html table hover

Hi experts

I have a html table. This is the code.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">

#MyTable tr:first-child:hover TD{ 
      background: #FF0000;
}

 #MyTable TR:hover TD
 {
      background: #0000FF;
}

</style>
</head>

<body>
<table width="800" border="0" id="MyTable">
  <tr>
    <td>TeamID</td>
    <td>TeamCity</td>
    <td>TeamName</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>Los Angeles</td>
    <td>Lakers</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>Miami</td>
    <td>Heat</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>3</td>
    <td>Sacramento</td>
    <td>Kings</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>4</td>
    <td>Houston</td>
    <td>Rockets</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Open in new window

This table has 5 rows. When you hover over rows 2 through row 5. They are highlighted blue.
When you hover over row 1 it is highlighted red.

How would I change my css code to do the following:

When I hover over rows 2 through row 5. They are highlighted blue.
But when I hover over row 1, row 1 shouldn't be highlighted at all.
In this particular example I know I could just switch red color to white because my background is white, but I want to know if there is a way to do it like say have the highlight of row 1 to be transparent or not highlight row 1 at all.

I only want rows 2 through 4 to be highlighted blue when I hover my mouse over those rows..
