Bo Jackson’s best throw. Maybe the best throw by anyone. Harold Reynolds can’t fathom he’s out and the Mariners coaching staff reacts like the other team after Roy Hobbs knocked the cover off the ball. Unbelievable.
Haven’t posted on social in quite some time but can’t stay quiet in this time of loss. I’m struggling to tell all what Bobby Cox meant to me and so many others in Braves Country.
He was the leader of men and a second father to so many Atlanta Braves thru the yrs. I’m so sad today, but as I sit here watching my two youngest boys play in their championship games on the day he passed, I can’t help but shout the same things he did from the corner of the dugout. ‘Come on kid, u got this!’
We are gonna miss him so much, but his legacy is forever cemented with the success of this franchise for the last 35+ yrs. He started it as GM, continued as manager, and passing the torch to others, the Atlanta Braves will continue to be force that Bobby Cox always wanted us to be. We love you Skipper. You were our rock. I love you more than words can express.
My boys won both of their games…..Bobby had a hand, I have no doubt!
Keep your kids playing multiple sports for as long as possible. Don't listen to club coaches pushing them to specialize. They'll become more well-rounded athletes and people (and far less prone to injury/burnout) if they don't.
If you're good enough, colleges will find you.
Dear young athletes- keep this photo saved to your phone and show the next person who says you have to focus on one sport in HS.
The amount of kids I’ve heard say “I can’t risk getting hurt” or “my coach won’t let me” drives me crazy.
You get one shot to be a HS athlete.

Josh Dasher. Say his name repeatedly
That’s the name of the ref that called the
Omar Cooper Jr catch a TD in real time when everyone thought it was incomplete
If we call out the bad calls, we must highlight the good ones too. And this was incredible
Great man! What a rich and impactful life he lived. He was foremost a teacher of life and leadership. As one of his signature recruits at the University of Maryland in 1970, I learned and grew so much because of Coach Rav. He will never be forgotten. 💔

“Leadership is not about being in charge. It’s about taking care of those in your charge.” -Simon Sinek
As a coach, your title doesn't give you power.
It gives you a responsibility.
The X's and O's are not plays. They are players.
"I don't think our kids know how to fail today.
They don't know how to struggle.
We, the parents, have bailed them out of everything.
Failure is good sometimes.
Failure brings about an internal drive."
"Today is a blessing - what are you prepared to do with it?"
Much appreciative of @notthefakeSVP speaking to the team this morning with some great life lessons!
