@BaseballAmerica Might want to fact check where brady christman is transferring from...

[MLB @MLB]

We are saddened by the passing of former Braves third baseman Bob Horner.

The first overall pick in the 1978 MLB Draft, Horner made the jump straight to the Majors without playing a single day in the Minors.

Just ten days after being drafted, Horner made his MLB debut and homered off future Hall of Famer Bert Blyleven. Horner went on to blast 23 home runs in just 89 games and won NL Rookie of the Year honors.

He went on to top the 30-homer mark three times in the next four years and was a National League All-Star in 1982, when he helped lead the Atlanta Braves to a division title.

Horner spent 9 of his 10 Major League seasons with the Braves. He made history on July 6, 1986 when he slugged a record-tying 4 home runs in one game. It was the only four-homer game of the 1980s.

Horner completed his college career at Arizona State with the most home runs in NCAA history, a mark since broken. He was named MVP of the 1977 College World Series and was the very first winner of the prestigious Golden Spikes Award in 1978.

He was 68 years old.

@Rhys1892 @lee_ryder I dont think thats true. I thought so at first but then i read if 6 get in UCL then PL forefits one of their UEL spots. I thought it would just slide the scale down one, but no. Only way 9 PL teams get in Europe is if palace win UECL. 9th in league wont factor.

[Chris Hillyard @HillyardATL]

@CDC2584 @lee_ryder Yeah I thought bournemouth getting in as a potential 6th ucl would have moved everything down one. But in that scenario PL only gets one UEL team and give up one spot there.

@JoshPateCFB Any chance of posting the bill curry story in a clip? GSU grad and would love to share with the GSU community in a clip form. Thanks!

@GSU_MBasketball Love RJ but the 688 stat isnt true. Dmarcus simonds beat it in 17-18.

[Chris Hillyard @HillyardATL]

@chrisdimino @CelliniNick y'all are right re: easier to be drafted at a P4. But Ted Hurst at GSU showd you can still be successful at G5 and taken as high as 3rd round. A lot of guys are chasing the p4 nil $ and aren't playing. If they stay G5 and dominate, better odds of draft.

Dan Ellington will forever be a legend at Georgia State.

He threw for 34 TDs and ran for another 12 in just two years in Atlanta.

But he’ll be remembered forever for his 2019 performance in Knoxville. The Panthers were 25 point dogs. Ellington threw for 2 TDS, but his TD run with 4 minutes left sealed the game for Georgia State over Tennessee.

A @GeorgiaStateFB LEGEND, Dan Ellington.

@_YazIsKing And how about didier's numbers last year when he was rushed up too quickly?

[Chris Hillyard @HillyardATL]

@ToonPolls Tbf there are about four players you can point to on that play for lack of effort. Bruno and tonali both could have tracked him, or at least got into the mix. Burn and Botman unable to get in position for the knockdown. Miley, murphy and Bruno all standing and watching at the end

Plans to convert the old outfield into a practice facility would fix the biggest gripe I hear (inside and outside GSU) about Center Parc Stadium

Also featured is a future idea where softball and beach volleyball end up right outside CPS.

And also jumping off the press release:
