Or there was until, much like he who I won't dirty my fingers typing his name does, you edit them post.

The original title had nothing to do with anything beyond Yankees till the wannabes came in. So I changed it to a stfu title but apparently riding someone else’s coattails is a thing so here we are.

You could start your own braves thread. I promise I’d never open it as I don’t give a **** about them.

The first time that I moved to Atlanta, the Braves were in Milwaukee. Atlanta had an independent minor league team called the Crackers. “Cracker” is a derogatory term applied to rural poor white folk by uppity citified white people. If you hear an elderly black person use the term, they’re appropriating it from uppity citified whites.

The Crackers played at a ball field off Ponce de Leon Ave, near the Sears building. There was a large magnolia at the edge of the outfield and special rules about the tree. The Crackers were very successful, and some future major league players were on the team.

The arrival of the Braves spelled the end of the Crackers. The field was redeveloped into nondescript office-warehouse and retail. The old Sears building is now Ponce City Market.

Is it though? Black folks didn’t coin the term for white folks. No, it was uppity citified white people who first used the term in referring to poor rural whites. Now, white people have found uncountable ways to discriminate, but white people on white people isn’t race based.
