Support The Home Team


Chipper Jones Goes Yard!!
The Atlanta Braves are one of the most storied franchises in the history of professional sports. A story filled with a few victories, a lot of near misses and far too much heartache. Simply put, the life of the Braves fan is a frustrating one.
As the years have passed, and we are further removed from the glory days of the early to mid-90’s, true Braves fans are becoming hard to find. The Ted has nowhere near the same level of excitement and energy as it used to. While we no longer have The “Crime Dog” Fred McGriff, Maddux, Smoltz, or Glavine, we do have several young stars with an abundance of talent on display every night.
For the Braves to return to their winning ways they will need more than solid pitching and a potent offense; They will also need a fan base willing to support them through thick and thin. Forbes Magazine rated Atlanta as the most ‘Miserable Sports City’ in America.  Geographically, ‘Braves Country’ is the largest sports market in America, encompassing almost the entire southeastern portion of the country.  However, the fan base is composed largely of fair weather and half-hearted fans. 
For the Braves to return to prominence, they will need our support! With that being said, we will be sending a group of Westmar residents to the Ted to cheer on the home team.
