Braves Quotes

On growing up, and staying, a Braves fan.

These quotes come from people who grew up on the Braves and never really left — 'once a Braves fan, always a Braves fan,' as one player puts it after being traded to the team he idolized as a kid. More in the Baseball quotes.

Always Quotes

If you don't like the way the Atlanta Braves are playing then you don't like baseball.

Quotes by Chuck Tanner

It was really tough as a kid going to a Braves game. It was a guaranteed loss. You're looking at 100 losses a year. I was a huge baseball fan, played it for quite a while. But when '91 happened,...

Quotes by Brian Baumgartner

I signed a very modest $3,000 bonus with the Braves in Milwaukee. And my old man didn't have that kinda money to put out.
