Jeff Schultz on his knees...

I'm not sure that is really too absurd, especially given each team's outlooks for the coming season. The Braves can't even sell out their playoff games consistently. Atlanta just isn't a pro sports town. If you're talking about the nation as a whole, the Braves are a much bigger deal, not only to people who generally follow MLB but also to their legions of fans in neighboring states which don't have a baseball team. I think the article was probably just about Georgia though.
