I guess the Braves are next.

The tomahawk chop has been an issue with people yet when that stadium is filled the whole place erupts and does it on their own.  They got rid of Chief Knokahoma years ago too.  Dude had a Teepee in the stands.

The Braves are technically the O.G. baseball team.  Its roots could be traced back to the 1870s' Boston Red Stockings of the National Association, who were made up of the Wright brothers (Harry and George) as well as many members of the disbanded Cincinatti club who dominated early baseball (and Boston dominated the 5 year run of the National Association) until the National League was formed in 1876.

The Cubs' roots can be traced back to that too as there was the Chicago White Stockings, but they had to disband for awhile due to the Chicago fire.

I know "Dr McGillicuddy's".

Was driving somewhere with my girlfriend's father and his best friend when I was 18/senior in high school.

The best friend was in the passenger seat and told me that he had something for me in a bag in the back seat.

I opened the bag and it was a bottle of that fucking stuff.  Now, being 18, I would drink pretty much anything.  Add in the father of the young lady I was infatuated with at that point & the sort of olive branch to be "one of the guys" and I jumped in. 

Holy shit, that stuff was awful.  Polished off a good amount before we got where we were going.

Pretty sure that I could have had a good answer for who Cornelius was at that point.  Or, that I would have been happy to kick Keith Olbermann in the nuts.

Also, the Cincinnati Red Stockings are the OG team.  1866.

Lol.  Imagine that happening today?

Cornelius had a stadium named after him in Philly at one time.

Yeah, now that guy would probably be brought up on charges.  (When in reality I'm pretty sure the things I did to his daughter should have landed me in a ditch)

Ha!

Did you baby sit for him when he was a toddler and you were in college?

So does that mean Josh Gibson is the all time homerun leader? Didn't he have 800 or something?
