Braves
[edit]I wonder if you're old enough to remember the Braves years in Milwaukee, which someone compared to a comet... they came, they made a spectacular show, and then they were gone. Milwaukee was a minor league city for most of its existence, and is again, thanks to the way the Brewers have been run. Anyway, I lived in the south for several years in the early 1990s, and developed a fondness for the Braves. In 1995, I wondered if I was the only one north of the Mason-Dixon Line who was rooting for the Braves in that World Series. It's just a shame that they have had so many great regular-season teams that have had a tough time in the short post-season Series'. They remind me in some ways of another favorite team of mine, the Baltimore Orioles of the late 60s / early 70s. Wahkeenah 2 July 2005 21:21 (UTC)
If you are into history, it would be worthwhile sometime to pin down whether it is accurate to say the Braves are direct descendants of the Cincinnati Red Stockings of 1869-70. I've believed it to be true for years, but more research might be needed. Wahkeenah 2 July 2005 21:21 (UTC)

Calvin Johnson (American football) Featured Article push
[edit]I'd like to nominate Calvin Johnson (American football) for Featured Article status, but I'd like the article expanded a little bit before I do. Since you're one of the primary editors of that article, I figured that you'd be a good one to ask. My primary concern is comprehensiveness; it needs more prose/information, especially in "Early years" and "College career". Also consult suggestions in the recent peer review, the ongoing WPBIO A-class review, and these examples of FA-Class athletes. Once the article gets a bit longer, I'll nominate it at FAC, and I hope you'll help address reviewers' suggestions. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 01:13, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
