My favorite BB Team is the Braves, as in "The Land of the Free, and the home of the Braves!" And by the way, is the team you guys will be looking up at in the standings all year long! And most Warpathers probably already have a favorite BB team.
I can see the Braves at least 1-2 nights per week for free, even when traveling because of WTBS being nearly worldwide. Ted, the owner, has his own series of networks! I fall asleep way too easily in front of the screen, however, and then I go to bed!

BB is way, way too boring. But Nationals fans deserve their own talk forum!
Just not in here! The Nats don't even have an owner! MLB still owns them!
BB discussions also do not belong in TheWarpath.net, imho, nor should they have a dedicated thread!

Backrow, I am aware of who the Atlanta Braves are, thank you very much. And don't count on you guys being at the top of the standings. The Mets are going to be way better than you guys.

Yes, most Warpathers do have a favorite BB team. But don't forget that most warpathers are in the DC area, and for the people who live here, they can appreciate that we have a team of our own.

My favorite team is the NY Yankees, but now I have a team in the National league too!

Also, we have an "off-topic" (you know, like not football or redskins?) forum and everyone here is open to discussing anything they want on it. It can be Baseball, Basketball, Hockey....whatever.

I believe the Redskins Ring of Fame was moved to FedEx Field when it first opened (actually JKC Stadium at the time)....they were probably actually new signs (or whatever you would call them) made, but you get the picture. If that is the case, it would made sense that the old ones may still be at RFK, but it's not like it matters since the Redskins don't play there anymore.

As for baseball in DC, I'm thrilled about it! Living in between DC and Baltimore, I always rooted for the Orioles, but never really considered myself an O's fan. Then over the past couple years the obnoxious Raven fans have really turned me off to Baltimore in general, so I will be very happy to support the Nat's. Not to mention Angelos is an asshole...

Actually DC would not allow this since they got left a the altar by the Squire. But at least he pinched the mayors ass before he left. The ring of fame at RFK is different then the ring of fame at FEDEX. Many great past washington names are missing. FEDEX only has football related ones. No basketball (Wesley Unsled, Abe Pollin) , baseball (Frank Howard, Ted Williams) boxing (Sugar Ray Lenorad) or hockey(Did we have any on the Ring of Fame?) Would love to purchase a sign or two if Mr. Cope from the NAtionals makes them available.

I understand that other sport figures would not be moved to FedEx, only Redskins ones......but how come "indoor" stars were on there? Don't they have something for them at the MCI Center? (moved from the Capital Centre of course)

Actually this is how we honored all of our stars in the area. How would and could we honor the great Sugar Ray? I believe there was even Elvin Hayes up.
