The 2021 World Champion Atlanta Braves!!!
Family is so very important!!! GO BRAVES!!!
Congratulations to the 2021 World Champion Atlanta Braves!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 GO BRAVES!!!!
That is so funny!! Awesome! @christopherules , you are a master, sir!!
Go Braves! World Champs!
That's Freddie's little 'mini me'.
He's got good genes!
Go Dawgs!
I think length of the contract will be the question. I think the club tends to not give out long term deals to players in their 30s. I'm sure Freddie would prefer long term and settled.
If there were a player to break the rule for it should be Freddie. Great Character, great player, should retire a Brave.
This is where AA earns some more of his money. He certainly earned a bunch at the trade deadline.
No denying that! So AA, please finish the drill with Freddie!
As @TNDawg71 said, he needs to " retire a Brave" !
Go Braves! World champs!
Been a Braves fan since '66. Hank Aaron came to Atlanta with 398 career hr's. And hit 44 home runs that year. Which he did four times in his career.
That team was loaded. Felipe Alou, Joe Torre, Rico Carty. Seven players on that team hit at least 20 hrs. We only finished about 5th as I recall it. But that was one of my favorite Braves teams.
Congratulations to all you Braves fans. World Series winners 2021!
Thanks, @MarkBoknecht for remembering the good times!
Great players all! Mack Jones, Denis Menke, Eddie Matthews, Phil Neikro to name a few more.
Rico "the Beeg Boy" Carty was my favorite as a 10-year old in 1966. Batted .342 in 1969 and .366 in 1970, winning the batting title. Had a 31-game hitting streak in 1970 which I followed every night using my hand held transistor radio standing in the street to get a better signal.
My Dad could take the whole family of five to the game, get general admission tickets for under $5.00 total, and we would sit in center field near Chief Nocahoma's tepee cheering madly.
We were so starved in the south for a baseball team to root for when the Braves came. Before 1966, I was actually a Yankees fan because, back then, the only teams that were ever on TV seemed to be the Yankees on the "Game of the Week"! Became and instant fan of the Braves though.
Braves came close in 1969 (Mets swept them, though) and in 1982 (was in college and my father and I talked every night by phone during the 13-game win streak the Braves started that season with}.
Could go on and own, Phil's no-hitter, watching Hank's 500th home run and, then again, watching Hank's 715th home run, my daughter's favorite player-Dale Murphy. etc.
Just some great teams and great memories. And to win it all, after 26 years, just made it all that much sweeter.
Thanks, Braves, for all the years and good times!
Cannot stop watching this:
FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!!!! A MONSTER SHOT!!!
The 2021 World Champion Atlanta Braves and their 2021 World Series MVP Jorge Soler with a 446 foot HR!!!
