Love it. Look at Beach’s smile!

tripp said "what's up!?"

Tripper’s a good dude. I’m glad he’s doing well, the Orioles are idiots for cutting him.

Is it just me, or is Cabrera’s tomahawk too horizontal?

Is Cabrera actually Alfred E Newman?

no joke there was a camera-man there last nite in the dugout

looked just like Brooks Conrad.. I wanted to go up to him and be like..i know your not brooksie..but you look like him..and I just wanted to thank you for the memory of the walk-off grand slam.

I couldn’t get the guy to face the other way long enough for a shot to illustrate… it was kinda eerie.

Nope, he was not using gloves.

Those uniforms rule

The hats I could take or leave (don’t they usually wear blue caps with red bills and the big “M”, like Spahn and Mathews used to?) but having “Braves” on the front of the gray roadies is something I would really love for the big club to go with.

They wear the blue hats at home and the red on the road. Since their division was the road team they were in their road unis.

Most pro teams have their city on their road jerseys.

I’ve always assumed it was a tradition from before the whole country would recognize mascots.

Thanks for the info.

That’s what I thought.
