....or is this Braves team having more fun than any of the 14-straight
teams? Those teams seemed very stiff and business-like, which obviously
worked for them, at least to an extent. The current team seems like
they're not afraid to have fun, they have several pranksters, and seem
to genuinely really like each other (now that Escobar is gone).

It's your imagination. Nothing beats the 1991 team. Even the 1995
team. At least in terms of fun and excitement. Maybe I'm talking
about the fans less than the players, but I don't think so.

You may be right about the '91 team. That was a special team, going
from worst record in MLB to nearly winning the World Series in one year.
My sentiment was based mainly on the years that followed. I suspect
the streak probably increased pressure and dampened enthusiasm somewhat.
This team, somewhat like '91 (albeit to a much lesser degree), is
playing with house money.
