1991 I was 8, any Braves fan knows how magical that season was but at that age and getting into little league it was obsession. I used to cry during rain delays

I just missed the 91 season, was only 6 that year. I remember the excitement everywhere though. At school, at the store, at home, all the local news stations.

93 was a great year too. Won the division on the last day of the season after spending the morning and afternoon at Six Flags.

I was 6 also. Remember at school they had Braves players pictures in every hallway and tomahawks plastered all over our cafeteria. Same thing in 95.

Really pulling for your Braves fans!
What the MLB did to the fine Braves fans, that franchise and that stadium is criminal!
We need a World Series in Atlanta and the result FJB chants!!!!!!
SteelerBravesDawg, you are the one to lead the charge!!!!

Since 1978, that's the earliest I can remember watching them on TV.


I remember “WTCG is changing, to TBS” commercials during Braves games as a kid on TV in Arkansas, so I’d guess that would be around 78-79 myself. First game I went to at Fulton County Stadium was in 1982. My grandparents made stops in Augusta and Vidallia so I got to go to games when I’d visit.

My grandmother lived in Houston and I’ve got pictures of me with an Astros hat further back than that. First game I remember in the Astrodome was 1980. My grandmother lived in Houston and listened to every game on the radio. My aunt took me to a few.

With TV, the Braves were easier to follow no matter where I lived, but still keep up with both.

Fan since birth, 1992. 2000 was probably my first real season to fully understand what was going on, so this is new to me.
