Subject: Atlanta not being a Sports Championship Town

Dear Fans and Readers:



Having lived in many large sports cities, I find that Atlanta, Georgia, is the only one that's not a sports championship town! Arriving in Atlanta some twenty-plus years ago, I found that the Atlanta Braves Baseball team was the talk of the town! Every year this Atlanta baseball team would begin the season in an awesome, ferocious manner, beating all teams who dared to compete against them--living up to a seemingly fitting name for Atlanta, "Home of the Braves!" Approaching the last two months of the season, this brave game-winning team's record would begin falling below mediocre in their league's percentage standings. After three years of this same ole thing; it became enough for me! Yet the town's people continue to support and yak about these not-so-cool Atlanta Braves.



However, ten years later, this early-sprinting baseball team managed to forge a way to win a World Series Championship for Atlanta. Sheer pandemonium fell upon the entire City of Atlanta--fans stampeding streets, destroying automobiles, business establishments and everything that wasn't nailed down!



Nevertheless, this would not change mind about the Atlanta Braves. My pet phrase for this continuously losing team was, "The sorry Atlanta Braves!" After the Atlanta Braves' World Series win, their fans and supporters would ask me why I continue to call the team "sorry." My response was always the same, "Because they stayed too sorry for too long!" How about the Atlanta Falcons football and the Atlanta Hawks basketball teams? Atlanta has had the cream of the crop players in football; such great Falcons quarterbacks, beginning with Randy Johnson, Bobby Hebert, Steve Bartkowski, Chris Miller, Jeff George and the infamous Michael Vick, etc-- but all failed to win a super bowl. Atlanta Hawks basketball greats, such as , straight-shooter "Pistol Pete," Dominique Wilkins (beat Michael Jordon in a one on one slam-dunk contest) and Dikembe Mutombo (the tallest human body in professional basketball)--didn't amount to a hill of beans when it came right down to winning a basketball championship for the City of Atlanta! Let's face it folks, Atlanta is not a championship town!



Sincerely,







Sir Leonard
