I can’t imagine what Hank Aaron went through in his lifetime. He had every right to be angry or militant.....but never was! He spread his grace on everything and every one he came in contact with. Epitome of class and integrity. RIP Henry Aaron!

To one of my favorite teammates ever.....congrats on a fabulous career! Thanks for keeping me young and keeping me from retiring a couple yrs earlier. Ur a true pro, a leader of men, a great father and a best friend! Have a great retirement, Brian McCann! Ur the best out there
And that’s when u will have 12 guys on the team that are soft as pillows! Enjoy ur participation award. If u don’t hustle, u should get ur ass chewed on. I applaud coach Izzo. Always have!
Lmao! I taught
@FreddieFreeman5
this death stare. It says everything u need to get across without verbalizing, getting ejected and fined. Nicely done kid!
Words can’t describe how excited I am to be rejoining my beloved
@Braves
. Haven’t looked forward to spring training this much in 9 yrs. Working with our guys is an honor and I will do my best not to screw them up!
#GoBraves
Congrats to my
@Braves
on Game 1. Well pitched, well played. Long way to go. If you pitch, play D and get timely hits....you can win any game!
#ForTheA
Congrats to the National League MVP....my man
@FreddieFreeman5
. Never a doubt. Knew u could do it....just a matter of time! Now go do it again in 21. Love ya bro!
To everyone in Pierson and Jax, Fl and to all of Braves Country no matter where u might live, WE did it!Thank you so much for all the years of support and let’s ALL enjoy this ride together. So blessed to go in with THIS class. HOF players and HOF people as well. Congrats fellas
U slide in with ur spikes up and catch a piece, ur gonna get thrown at young fella. That’s how baseball works. It polices itself, whether people like it or not. That will never change. Love the spirit in both squads though.

@Braves
gave me the honor of being the first overall pick in the ‘90 draft. Words cant describe the pride I feel for being a part of this great organization. We won, we lost, but thru it all, we were family! I will always have Braves Country in my heart!
Watched 3 Milton football coaches make complete asses of themselves this morning. They threw visors, play sheets and I even heard a couple of GDs. One went nose to nose with an official. Did I mention they’re coaching 6-7 yr olds? Clean it up! U embarrassed yourselves mightily.
So by this way of thinking, Jacob deGrom should get drilled cuz he’s the hottest pitcher on the planet? NO! I enjoy watching him pitch and I enjoy watching RAJ play the game. I’m old school just like this broadcaster, but these comments are waaay off base!
Just a heads up.....if I’m kind enough to let u into traffic and u do not give me a courtesy wave, I will tap ur bumper! Uv been warned....Merry Christmas!
Congrats to my Bravos! Gutty win. Ur gonna give me a heart attack, but we love the rollercoaster. Let’s take this thing back to LA. Anything can happen in a Game 5!

has accepted a new job as color analyst on ESPN's Wednesday Night Baseball. Signed on for 20 games in 2020. Check out my full story for AJC here.
Been thinking about Scott Boras’ comments on the Braves. Maybe CA should institute a muzzle mandate so stupid shit doesn’t fly out of his mouth as easily! The pest of the west and his comments about the Braves I find especially funny since he is the head of the zit that may ..
Had a meeting with coaches and a player today. I asked ‘does the club send u a dvd of ur hits and good defensive plays?’ Everyone started laughing. Apparently they ‘stream’ stuff now! Whatever TF that means. I’m old....
I am truly at a loss! No words seem appropriate enough. I’ve cried and hugged every member of my family. Kobe was awesome to me the one time I met him. Prayers go up to the Bryant family as well as the other passengers families. What a sad day!
#RIPMamba
Congrats on an unbelievable career Adrian Beltre! The total package at the hot corner. I will save a seat for u at the third baseman’s table of the members dinner in Cooperstown my man! Enjoy retirement buddy.
cause certain teams to HAVE to sell off players. Been done this way for years. His team (LAD) traded for/or signed 3 eventual/potential HOFers & didn’t get it done. But bc it paid off for the Braves, now it’s a problem? Dude, stay in your lane. No one cares what you think.
#smh
Jacob deGrom should be the NL Cy Young winner! He is the best pitcher in the National League this yr. Scherzer and Nola have had outstanding yrs on better teams, but JDG has dominated all yr with or without run support.
All I want is some chicken!!! Walk into a KFC in Holly Springs, Ga. Dude looks at me and says,’We don’t even have any chicken in the fryer!’ You are KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN!!! ITS 12:45!!! Bout to lose my SH*T!!!
So incredibly cool!!! There are no words to describe how watching this made me feel. I got misty for sure. Merry Christmas y’all! I love Braves Country
Someone asked
#Braves
newcomer Shane Greene what his role would be. He didn’t hesitate with his reply: “I’ll be out there in the ninth.”
And yes, he exudes swagger. Grew up a Braves fan in Central Florida, favorite player: “Chipper Jones.”
New song called “Used to Wish I Was.” Lots of things I wanted to be growing up, but now I wouldn’t want to be anyone else but me. Hope y’all like it and can relate!
Congrats to the Kentucky Wildcat football team. It’s been 32 yrs and u deserve it. U have been the FAR SUPERIOR team to Florida for the past 2 YEARS. Never thought I would hear my UK cheerleader wife gloat during the fall, in my lifetime. My how times have changed in G’ville!
Been a rough couple weeks for Braves Country. Don Sutton was one of my favorite people. Always had a smile, kind word and a story that captivated you. Always asked how my parents were doing. Always positive! Gonna miss u my friend. Tell Knucksie we all said hello. Love ya buddy!
Exciting baseball watching Bravos coming back from 5-0. Nicky with the big Yicketty! Gonna be fun times for Braves Country in the yrs to come. Congrats fellas!

Thank you BaseBall! Thank you Kevin Costner….Thank you James Earl Jones! My love for the game was fueled by this movie. ‘If u build it….they will come.’ Many legends strutted their stuff tonite. I lived vicariously thru Tim Anderson’s HR. Well done BASEBALL!🤟
Congratulations to my teammate, friend and mentor, Terry Pendleton on being inducted into the Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame! No brainer selection for one of the best leaders I’ve ever been around. Can’t wait to see u inducted TP! Love ya buddy
If you're 10 years old and your coach says get on top of the ball, tell him no.
In the big leagues these things that they call ground balls are outs. They don't pay you for ground balls, they pay you for doubles and for homers. -Josh Donaldson
Folks....Yadier Molina is such a GREAT player! Not only physically gifted, but one of the smartest players ever. Watch him.....u will learn something every time!
And uv never stood 60 ft from any of them.....sooooo zip it! It’s easy to hit from ur couch or at ur beer league softball game. Grown ass men with abilities u can’t fathom play this game!
My opinion on Astros scandal...it’s awful! I’m disappointed in many people. This was a concerted effort by an org to cheat. It took organization and funding. I will reserve judgement on players until I hear who did what. Please don’t jump to conclusions until u know whole story!
Every so often, we mourn the passing of a baseball brother....one of the fraternity! Sad to hear of the passing of Tyler Skaggs today. To his wife Carli and the entire
@Angels
organization, please accept the Jones family and entire Braves organizations deepest sympathies!

The face of baseball is Mike Trout! Congrats to both, him and his agent, for signing the richest contract in American sports history. Happy that Mike will stay with one team and see it through, as a superstar should.
From the same little piece of Volusia County to the ATL, much love and respect to one of the best athletes to ever lace them up! I will see u in the HOF soon my man. Truly a pleasure to FINALLY meet the legend!
Got it done in Kansas tonite! Deer walked out with 6 ft of rope tangled in its horns. Crazy! Thanks to field producer, Colin Perry and all our sponsors for having a hand in it and adding to a very Happy Halloween!
Freddie Freeman now leads the National League in average (.359), RBI (48) and doubles (20).
He’s second in OPS (1.128), runs (44), walks (37), OBP (.471) and slugging (.658) with just 29 strikeouts in 184 at bats on the season.
Sure feels like MVP numbers.

I got tossed first and I was going to try to blow Hahn up until I heard the stuff Chipper and Bobby were saying .... HOF smack talk. The mustache did not go unaddressed. Surreal moment when two HOFers have your back like that.
Loved watching u play. As a fellow 3rd baseman, I admired the way u carried yourself with confidence and class. There’s a reason u wore a “C” on ur jersey. People looked up to u and knew when the chips were down, u would deliver. Here’s to a happy retirement, David Wright!
