Name a player who NEVER wore another jersey. One team. One city. One legacy. Go. 🔒

@BBGreatMoments And it’s not even close

Too many great ones to choose from 🤣

Growing up in the south there was only one man respected more than Dale Earnhardt. And that was Bobby Cox. Every dad in the 90s wanted to be Dale Earnhardt but all those men admired the true great leader of the South..Bobby Cox. Every summer as a kid you would spend outside playing ball pretending to be Chipper..Klesko..Gallaraga or whatever new ball player the Braves added to the lineup that you learned the batting stance of so you could unload a tennis ball into the trees behind your mom’s garden in the backyard. It was Bobby’s world. He was the general who commanded excellence in Atlanta and we all got to watch live on TBS. From rainouts and Andy Griffith to pennants and World Series the man with the 6 on the back of his Jersey ran a tight ship and that carried over from the tv screen to sandlots across Dixie. If crime dog didn’t let Bobby down then neither could the boys of Keith Circle where I grew up. We started using golf balls and wrapping them with duck tape to form a baseball. ‘Tape ball’ was what we called it. We’d take whatever we needed from Mr. Donnie’s shed as he always was the Bobby Cox of our neighborhood encouraging us to play ball. He’d have the Braves game on the radio at all times it felt like. From Fulton county stadium to my little neighborhood in Williston, South Carolina.. Braves baseball created magic that spread throughout the South that shaped the lives of many young men like myself and the boys of Keith Circle. Without Bobby Cox there was no magic. From the Braves dugout to all the TVs across Dixie.. his ‘take no crap’ aura and ‘play the game the right way’ attitude is the reason he was so beloved and respected. May his legacy be known and talked about in churches and in bars and pharmacies and diners. I know all the old men in Hardee’s for breakfast come Monday morning won’t forget Bobby and will have plenty to talk about as they read the paper and sip their coffee. The South won’t forget Bobby. And neither will I.. ..now how bout them Braves RIP Bobby Cox

@cornbreadcowboi Well said, the best to ever do it Bobby Cox.

We mourn the passing of Hall of Famer Bobby Cox, the fourth-winningest manager in MLB history. Cox led the Atlanta Braves to unprecedented success, winning 14 straight division titles from 1991-2005, along with 5 NL pennants and the 1995 World Series championship. The four-time Manager of the Year won 2,401 games overall, behind only Connie Mack, Tony La Russa, and John McGraw. Of the 13 managers with at least 2,000 career wins, only one (Joe McCarthy) got there in fewer games than Cox. Cox managed the Braves for 25 seasons in all, leading them to six 100-win seasons and eight 90-win seasons. He also managed the Blue Jays for four years, including the franchise’s first winning record in 1983 and first division title in 1985. As General Manager of the Braves from 1986-90, Cox laid the foundation for the teams he would manage to success over the next two decades by trading for one future Hall of Famer in John Smoltz, drafting another in Chipper Jones, and helping develop homegrown legend Tom Glavine. Owner of a .556 winning percentage in 29 total seasons as manager, Cox was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2014. He was 84 years old.

@JeffFletcherOCR It’s a baseball rule. Ground ball hits the umpire. Batter is officially credited with a 1B in this scenario but ruled out

Here's a riddle. Bases loaded. Two outs. Batter gets a hit. No runs score. What happened?

Nick Saban's 5 Enemies of Greatness. Tack them on a wall.

I keep coming back to this speech once in a while..

"Discipline is not punishment. Discipline is changing someone’s behavior." (Nick Saban)

@NBCSGiants you play LA, AZ,SD. 39x. It won’t get better this year. Spend some $ get some dudes. I hate LA. But you need players to compete. It’s not Tony. It’s the roster. Adames chap ,Arraez are guys no playoff team wanted. Agree Susac needs to play more he will. So will Gilbert .

@NBCSGiants Vitello will win wherever he’s at. Have to get some dudes. Devers is a shell of what he was- Bailey is a 1st rd pick. He will get every shot to show that. ( yeah he sux) but that’s baseball. Same with Henry Davis and Bart with PGH. Too much $ invested. They get playing time.

Tony Vitello seemingly had words for one of the umpires after Patrick Bailey grounded into a double play

My dad taught me the scoreboard told me everything I needed to know, but when my batting average was displayed for 40,000 people, it became an eyesore. So I stopped keeping score, focused on preparation and effort, and my performance got better when my heart wasn't tied to a base hit. Then I realized I was the king of keeping score in life too: favors given, promises broken, gifts exchanged. Keeping score wears you out and everyone around you. There's only one person capable of keeping score of everybody's everything, and He doesn't keep score.

@NAIABall Faulkner takes the series on the field for the 6th straight season. Since 2018. Faulkner leads 19-7. No rivalry here. Just a Daddy spanking their kids.

FINAL - Game 1 DH #20 Faulkner (AL) defeats #10 William Carey (MS) 10-3 Brandon Napier 7 IP 1 ER 6 K #NAIABall

Curious - who's on the Mount Rushmore of athletes that played in Boston(yes, please include athletes that played for the Patriots.)

I’d run through a wall for this kid.
