No fans of the 1927 Yankees wore jerseys to the games
I won't dispute that; the exception would be my kids that where raised Astro's fans. It wasn't any different when it came to the Brave's teams after the era of Aaron, Evans, Baker and Cepeda. No one in this area really cared about them until the Maddox, Glavine, Jones and the rest of that team that played in 8 straight NLCS. That's usually the way it works.
Brave fans are also the parents of kids of the 80’s. Sitting up with sick babies in the recliner, TBS would sometimes do replays. Captain Bob Horner, Dale Murphy and the guys were a staple for early AM tv viewing.
. . . winning matters . . . televised is nice . . . winning and televised creates fandom . . .
Sure, I remember watching the Braves on TBS. But I don't remember seeing a ton of their attire in Lafayette until the Maddox era. Dale Murphy was always a favorite of mine.
I did see plenty of Yankee gear in Lafayette back then, especially when Guidry was pitching. I had a Yankee's cap after he won the Cy Young.
