So true, same as the 'new' Atlanta Braves fans in the 90s. My question to annoying Braves fans in the 90s was "Who is Dale Murphy?". You would be surprised at the number of people that didn't know.
I have a similar question for the new style Patriot fans, "Who is Andre Tippett?". I give consideration to younger fans, but people my age (46) proclaiming to be life long Patriot fans don't know who Andre Tippett is. Some don't even know the Patriots lost to the Bears in the SuperBowl after the '85 season.
