    Doesn't make him one of the all time greats though. Thats the point, the vast majority of Braves "fans" either know **** about baseball, or are like the ones I have mentioned. I am not saying you or Huffman are those fans, but it is a fanbase that is almost on par with SEC football fans (all of them) in level of stupidity it brings.

    To be fair, there a lot of stupid fans of a lot of teams that overrate their players. There are just a lot more Braves fans down here to deal with.

    Remember when the Uptons signed? It was Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle.

    It is the dumbest of all fanbases. They live in the delusion that Chipper is Mickey Mantle.

    Francoeur actually has the same OPS as Heyward (or did a couple days ago).

    But they act like he is late career Ozzie Smith. You know, when Oz could actually hit.

    The Braves fanbase is like 10% people who live in Atlanta and actually go to the games, and 90% "casual fans" across the Southeast who know like 3 players. Of course it's a dumb fanbase, haha. Look at Bama, UK, the Lakers...what widespread fanbase isn't like that?

    Come on. Pretty sure there's more than 25,000 Braves fans.

    You can thank TBS for that. When you can watch every game, it's east to cheer for them.

    I'm a Cardinals fan due to being able to pick up their games on the radio

    I can proudly say I frequented the old Fulton County Stadium in the late 80's.

    This is why I follow them. When I was a kid, I would come home and watch a game on TBS what seemed like every night.
