Goodbye Bobby Cox. What has made the Atlanta Braves the most consistent team (in terms of post season appearences) over the last 2 decades is the same thing that has made the Yankees (in terms of world championships) consistent.
Ownership that was unafraid to spend what it took to field a competitive team and insisted on winning.
Ted Turner, the genius behind the Braves, gets maybe a little less credit than he should, because he took a struggling team and built a media empire around it. Back in the days of early cable TBS was the Braves and WGN was the Cubs. Is YES network on your cable today?
The Yankees have natural advantages based on their local market and nationally they’re the team everyone loves to hate so they sell the eyeballs where ever they go and get the most attention, but the Braves have a record too.
Tonight the Rangers have a chance to choke against the Rays. Ah well, be careful what you wish for.
