[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 141372, member: 1640"] Not to sidetrack the thread but I remember those years well. The few thousand fans who were in the stands loved baseball and we enjoyed every unexpected win and every great play. Hope always sprang eternal, as they say. Plus you got to sit in really good seats. When the Braves became winners I loved the winning, no question about it, but I hated the fair weather fans who started taking away the best seats, the people who went to games not to discuss baseball and dissect strategy, but went to be seen, wear fancy clothes and spent more time with the party going on around them than they spent watching the field. Ticket packages were less available and more expensive while my seats slowly got moved from behind home plate, to 3rd base side field level to outfield to upper deck, I watched the general level of fan support also slowly drying up even as the stadium filled up. No point to this side bar conversation, just remembering my first revelation in my youth that the words "fan" and "support" have multiple meanings that are sometimes contradictory. [/QUOTE]
