SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — It’s a rainy day in the Valley of the Sun, so indulge me while I tell you a rather long rainy-day type story.
Thursday morning at Hardball Talk, Craig Calcaterra, a writer whose opinions I greatly respect, posted a 2,400-word article titled “Braves think their fans are idiots.”
Well now, that is a provocative headline. You’d click on that, most probably, even if you weren’t a regular reader of Craig’s writing. He begins by stating he’s been a Braves fan for 35 years, enjoyed the good run they had in the 1990s and early 2000s, and even some of the bad times.
