Top Ten Atlanta Braves?

Top Ten Atlanta Braves, per Sports H2H, whoever that is. Hey H2H, I see your little after the fact disclaimer, but Spahn never played in Atlanta. Mathews wasn't here for long. That opens up two spots at 9 & 10. Just about ready to add Freddie and Ronald to the list. Others to consider: Kimbrel, Markakis, Carty, Garr, Torre, Horner, Pendleton, Lopez, Justice.

Promotion idea, similar to what the Cardinals and Cubs do: Every weekday homestand have t-shirt Tuesdays, giving away a different player and design. Twelve per year. Only one t-shirt per player. Minter Newcomb Greene Ynoa Fried Soroka Smylie Morton Ozuna Acuna Pache Riley Swanson d'Anauld Freeman Albies Panda Contreras Jackson Biddle. Also former players Chipper Niekro Crandall Aaron Sutton Skip & Pete Dews Cox Maddux Glavine Smoltz Avery Bream Otis Blauser Lemke Murphy Horner Garr. Some red some navy some white some grey some yellow some green. Artist's designs. Every year at least six current players. Events in Braves history: 150th anniversary. ASG. Different stadiums and other anniversaries. The problem with t-shirts is how many sizes do you order.

JIM FREGOSI  [SABR Bio] a one-time Pirate was the first Angels player to hit for the cycle, on 28-Jul-1964Played for PIT in 1977-78, his last years in MLB. Even though he had represented the Angels six times as an All-Star and had amassed a WAR of 46.1, they traded him to another expansion team for an unproven pitcher and three throw-ins whose total, collective career WAR for all four players at that point was 2.8. Following the 1971 season, the Angels traded Fregosi to the Mets for Nolan Ryan. The three other players the Mets sent west were Frank Estrada, Don Rose & Leroy Stanton. In high school (the same high school attended by Barry Bonds and Tom Brady) Fregosi was a star quarterback and set a California state record in the long jump. An alum of Junipero Serra High School in San Mateo, Fregosi's 1959 long jump mark was 23' 8".

 

Powerful non-verbal ques. It's not always what you say, but how you say it.

1. Appearance and personal hygiene.

2. Gestures can be used to compliment speech, but too much can be a distraction.

3. Facial expressions can show disgust, excitement, or lack of interest even when we try to hide it.

4. Eye contact tells the other person you are engaged and interested. Too much eye contact can be intimidating. Too little communicates a lack of confidence.

5. Vocal tones, volumes, pitch, and inflections enhance you message.

6. Overall body movement: arms crossed shows you are defensive. Clenched fists shows aggression.

7. Be sure to not violate someone's personal space.

8. Personal touch portrays compassion and concern, but can also be borderline creepy.when used too much.

9. Avatars should be professional, lest people devalue what you say.

10. Posture: leaning forward shows interest, while slouching, leaning back, and crossing arms and legs shows disinterest.

11. Nervous people sweat or blink, increased breathing rates show excitement or panic.

Confident people avoid these phrases:

"I better be careful about what I say. I don't want to be blamed." Confident people take responsibility for their actions and decisions, and don't blame others.

"I could never do that." Confident people welcome new experiences.

"What if I make the wrong decision?" Confident people don't overthink their decision-making process.

"I won't get picked. I always get passed over." Instead of making excuses, work hard, solve problems, and help others.

"I try to not think about the future." Confident people dream big and go boldly.
