Did you know...

The Atlanta Braves tomahawk chop started in 1991 during spring training in Florida. When Deion Sanders would step up to the plate local Florida State fans would start doing the chop. When the season started back in Atlanta the fans continued to do this whenever Sanders batted. The organist started carrying it over to other batters and eventually it just became the Braves' signature.

They also started by some choppy waters.
Early in my life an aunt gave me some no-longer-valid Milwaukee Braves banners...
then an uncle told me that long, long ago they were the Boston Braves...
so... were they in a Brave disguise for the original Boston Tea Party?



:roll: :D
