As I said earlier, the country of heroes is quite real. There are several reasons why people become Braves fans. Maybe you were obsessed with ’90s teams. Maybe you were the off-market TBS kid who grew up with the Atlanta Braves all the time on TV. So, I grew up in the Southeast and my only baseball apparel was Braves apparel.
I say all this to show how big and wide the land of the brave is. The Braves are easily a top five team in terms of popularity, along with the Yankees, Dodgers, and Cubs. And what’s really great about the Braves fandom is seeing some of the most famous celebrities in the world show their love for our baseball team. Dive into our list of celebrity fans you may or may not know.
