re and america s team is but why in apr bsu ucs cgbabbitt leo bsuvc bsu edu writes you are absolutely correct braves fans are nothing but a bunch of bandwagoners correct me if i am wrong but or years ago you couldnt give away a ticket to see the braves play i would bet my next paycheck that of the so called braves fans living outside of georgia at the present time can not name more than players from their season on the other hand ask any cubs fan living anywhere in the united states to name players from any given year and of them probably could you could be right then again you could be wrong this claim is completely unverifiable and untestable i d wager most of the braves fans on the net could name more than players from their season you could give away tickets to braves games however my dad and i were able to get great seats from scalper for face value which isn t exactly the sign of a hot ticket granted the fact that a team wins brings people to the ball park but that does not mean they diserve the title america s team the only reason they are considered america s team is because of ted turner and his little tv station which broadcasts across the nation this is precisely why they were considered america s team even especially when they were bad you could see most of the braves games on cable you could do that for the cubs as well but the braves had better camerawork better announcers what would you rather listen to harry discuss the game or skip and pete discuss motoball and teams that weren t too much worse because of tbs the braves had a lot of fans outside of georgia at home in kentucky even though we were much closer to cincinnati there was as many braves fans as reds fans even in you could actually watch the braves play you had to go to cincinnati to watch the reds i can go anywhere in america and watch the braves i ll consider toronto america s team before the braves why i d guess that braves fans are more widely distributed than toronto fans dale j stephenson steph cs uiuc edu baseball fanatic it is considered good to look wise especially when not overburdened with information j golden kimball
