Diversity in Baseball

One of the reason I love baseball more than any other sport is the diversity. From the players, coaches, fans, and even the umpires, baseball is a very diverse sport. We get in a variety of fans from many different states and even countries. Our interactive listener map shows people care about Braves baseball around the world! On our latest episode we are proud to announce we had our first female Bravescast caller Rue call in to the show. She is not only a huge Braves fan, but also an aspiring sports writer. I am sure she can also spell much better than me as well. We strive to not only be the one site that bridges the gap between the majors and minors but also to be the one place that any, yes any Braves fan can interact. We are the place for diehard braves fans.

In upcoming shows we will have a fan that doesn’t care for Bobby Cox as a manager as well as perspectives from more women and even the opposition (like Philly sports writer Patrick Gordon who picked the Phils to win the East on our show). In our last episode we also debuted a new segment called “Pats Pet Peeves”. This is where I examine comments “usually negative” made by so-called Braves fans. Things that really make me shake my head. One of my biggest pet peeves: this week we called out the fans online who have been saying Atlanta needs to add an American league team. The closest thing we will ever get to that will the AAA team moving to Gwinnett in ‘09. To submit a comment or subject for “Pat’s Pet Peeves” e-mail us hosts@bravescast.com or call our Voicemail line at 678 608-2721.
