He bashed Atlanta some

Quote:See, in Atlanta, they don't really get baseball. They've got one of the five or six best organizations in the sport. They've got the best general manager (John Schuerholz) and the smartest manager (Bobby Cox), and, well, they don't even sell out playoff games.

The Braves have finished first 13 years in a row. Their fans don't love the sport enough to care much about this. Even when the Braves are drawing 2 million fans, there's no buzz in the ballpark.

It's simply not important to them. It's not important to fans in Tampa, Miami and Minnesota, either.

Football is important in those places. People go see the Braves because it's a great place to spend an evening discussing business or University of Georgia recruiting.

It's true. But the last sentence isn't true. I think he just thought it would be cute if he said that.

I was proud to be a part of the 2nd largest crowd in Braves history on the 4th. Too bad everyone was there for the fireworks. And there was a rather large amount of Cubs fans. But Braves fans did represent that night and that whole series.

EDIT- And what's this crappy score for the stadium??
