....Top Ten Reasons Why The Richmond Braves Are Going to Gwinnett:
10) Only Angels, Blue Jays and Devil Rays helmets at the kids' ice cream stand.
9) Losing the W.G. Cosby billboard where the frog's eyes lit up with each hit a batter had during the game.
8) Manager tried using centerfield sign machine to read batting order but couldn't figure out player names with 632 light bulbs missing.
7) Extensive coverage of team in newspaper on page E-27.
6) Oh, that's right, the sport section never has 27 pages.
5) Team that Atlanta fielded in Richmond in the year 2000 had a combined batting average of .012.
4) R-Braves players complained that rats in the clubhouse were only half the size of rats in New York City.
3) During many losing seasons, many fans considered returning to the Diamond for games if it could be mathematically proven the team would never lose by more than three runs.
2) R-Braves marketing plan: the sign out front! What more do you need?
and the Number One reason why the Richmond Braves are moving to Gwinnett.....

BREAKING NEWS SHOCKER!!!!----Richmond to lose Braves
Well.....I guess this is what happens when you (pardon my French) fart around as a city and a region as a whole!
All the talk about a new stadium and all the talk about downtown and all the talk about more regional cooperation and now that there is actually SOME entertainment development on the Boulevard (multiplex cinema) that doesn't charge 25 cents a peep:
The Braves have had enough. Click HERE for the initial reports.
Between all the stadium bickering, the fall of waterlog, forcing the R-Braves to play home playoff games on the road, and the less than stellar attendance recently (though that point is EVERYONE'S fault), the Braves sat down in Atlanta over lunch, and decided, "We're the only major league team that owns their Triple-A franchise. Why put up with this anymore? Let's move them close to us, bring baseball more economically to some suburbs and market it as their "stars of tomorrow" who can catch a cab to the big leagues!
Everyone in Atlanta is a winner!
Then there's Richmond. Enough said.
