[Well, the story by ESPN’s Darren Rovell really brought a lot of attention, and lots of opiniated emails. Here’s a few of them, for better or worse:] <\/p>\n\n\n\n
LOVE FOR YH<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ATLANTA-BASED LOVE:Brandon Forquer of Dallas, TX writes: “Hello to my new favorite website. I am a huge Atlanta Braves fan. To some, that’s a horrible thing because of our foothold on the N.L. East for the past 14 years. At least we don’t do it like the Yanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike Steinbrenner (Satan), we build our teams from the ground up. I do agree that we have bought our share of key players to continue our success, but last year was a testament to being farm-raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this is not why I am writing. The main issue is that I have noticed that you make specific YH caps for fans of NY, Baltimore, Seattle, and Boston; where’s the Atlanta YH cap? I know we might not be as strong a rival as the Sox, but let me tell you: you could find diamonds in the dirt next to our hate. For years I have had to listen to people call my team “losers” for only winning one World Series against the Yankees. I derive most of my hate from those losses, but that’s not the only reason. I was (in TX) when A-Rod came to the Rangers. I cannot deny that he is a great player. I was elated to know that I could go to the park anyday of the week and watch him play. Then it happened: the Rangers got cheap, as always, and shipped him to HELL. Oh, I can never root for Mr. Rodriquez again. When he left the Rangers, he was a good man. Now, he slaps baseballs out of first basemen’s gloves like an old lady wields a purse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do not own a piece of Yankees Hater gear yet. But the day that you make some for Atlanta fans, I will be the first one placing an order. GO BRAVES!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
[Editor’s Note: Most of the fans from Atlanta have purchased the cap named after our dog, Fenway (“Fenway’s Reverse” cap). They seem to like the colors.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
