I want to congratulate an amazing group of players but even better people! No one deserved it more than this group and this city! #2021WorldChamps ❗️

Fired up for my AA manager Brian Snitker. Bummed for my AA batboy Troy Snitker. Great series. Congrats @Braves on a great season. See you soon baseball.

Ron Washington played professionally from 1971 through 1990 before heading into coaching.

Known for his meticulous infield drills, he has helped develop some of the best infielders in the game.

After over 50 years in professional baseball, Ron Washington finally has his ring.

Congrats to the @Braves on winning the World Series! As a lifelong Braves fan my thoughts immediately went to my childhood idol, the late great, Henry Aaron, the bravest Brave of them all! @MLB @MLBPA @Royals @NLBMuseumKC

Look at @Braves Country in Houston! This has to be the most support a team has had on the road in a #WorldSeries from its fans ever. There is no way there has ever been that many fans from any other visiting team.

Happy Birthday
Jesse Barfield!
A 2-time Gold Glove Award-winning right fielder with the Blue Jays and Yankees (1981-92), Barfield led the AL in homeruns (40) on his All-Star season (1986), while also stunning baserunners with his potent arm.

@Braves Ozzie Albies is a pesky player, he is one of those players we call difference makers, table setters, they will give you a big headache when on base
