Hardly. I have loved the Braves since the mid 70's, but they aren't my "hometown" team, so my loyalty (I have recently learned) can be swayed. Still like the Braves quite a lot, but to FINALLY have a "hometeam" baseball team is something I've never had.
Remember, this is baseball in which NOLA has no pro team. You mention the Panthers, but that'll never happen cause NOLA has a pro team.
