There are two kinds of winning: on the field and in the box office.
The Gwinnett Braves, the Triple-A minor league team of the Atlanta Braves, just snagged a playoff berth. But when it comes to attracting fans to home games near the Mall of Georgia off I-85, the team is hurting so bad that the general manager is considering changing the team's name.
North Johnson said he's tried just about everything legal he can think of to get people into the stadium the county built for the team. But attendance is the worst of 30 Triple-A teams in the International and Pacific Coast leagues.
One issue: Some people apparently confuse the team with its major league parent downtown. What name would attract fans?
