Atlanta has traditionally not supported the Braves since the days of Maddux, Glavine and such. They traded everyone away in preparation of the new Suntrust stadium. I expect they will be involved in free agency. Also, winning brings fans in, you have two teams with bad losing records.

America's pastime is certainly not in any danger of dying out. Like the others mentioned...it all has to do with winning. (The Indians seem to be an exception to the rule).
Example: Jays were drawing 12-13 thousand in September of 2013. Now the Jays are third in attendance in the majors. No coincidence as to what changed.

Oh, people will come. For it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the
bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. Or they'll find they
have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they
sat when they were children and cheered their heroes.
And they'll watch
the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The
memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their
faces. People will come.
The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of
steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased
again. But baseball has marked the time.
These fields, this game: it's a
part of our past, It reminds of us of all that once was good and it
could be again. Oh... people will come. People will most definitely
come.
