Since 1991, yes. Not not since the team's presence in their current home
town. The Mets have two trophies I can go look at in the Diamond Club.
How many World Championship trophies do the Atlanta Braves have on display
for their fans?

Being a perennial playoff failure is, IMO.

So what you are saying is that the Braves can't beat anyone in the playoffs
except the Mets?

Well, at least the Mets won't have the repuation of being a post-season
bust year after year.

How can you explain the failure of the Braves to win only one World
Championship since 1991? I mean if they make it every year, surely they
should have won at least a third of the time?

Is it because they are so good during the regular season, and don't feel
any pressure that they cannot win when it counts?

Is it because their players don't have the hunger to win?

Can you explain the Braves' post-season failures? I can't.
