I was a diehard through the 90s, best game I have ever seen was the Fransico Cabrera single to drive in Justice and Bream against the Bucs. I can still name about 20-30 players off those early 90s teams.

I've struggled finding a new favorite Brave since Smoltz left and as such haven't followed them as closely as I once did. I also wore #3 in everything I played growing up because of Murphy who was my original favorite player. Really liked Francoeur but he got moved.

Hopefully with Wren out of the mix, things can get turned around again. My fanhood has never changed but my financial and time commitment has as I refuse to support a product I don't believe in. I'll always love and root for the Braves but I won't go back to obsessing over them until they can prove they're back on the right track. Build our farm system back up to what it once was, churning out pitchers like there's no tomorrow and stop trying to be the Yankees with these big money positional talent signings...Uggla, Upton....etc.
