Man Behind the Feather

Artwork by Wayland Moore, who designed the iconic Braves feather logo, as well as the royal and white Braves uniforms worn 1972-1976.

I have experienced this to be true...

Thursday C didn’t get home until after 8 pm. She stopped by Chickfila to pick up supper.

I pretty much stayed at my “desk” working late, and doing my nighttime fun stuff: posting to my blog and entering contests. Easier to work on the computer at the table with my full size keyboard and mouse, instead of without them on the couch. Watched the Braves and Jeopardy. Ceil flipped it over to a Hallmark movie. 

Friday morning I slept past my time to start work. Had to hustle downstairs to get logged on. Almost missed a call from my boss. Dreamed I had a key role in a theatrical production. One of the professional actresses complimented my work, though I really had no idea what was going on.

I did not know this...

ZACK GREINKE  [B-R Bio] is a former Gatorade National Player-of-the-Year Award winner and six-time Gold Glove Award winner. He once won a CYA for the KCR who finished 30 games under .500 (65-97) in 2009.  His team-best WAR that year was four times better than that of his next closet teammate. In fact, it led the majors. His 2009 WAR was 10.4. Albert Pujols was second with a 9.7 WAR, and won his third NL MVP. Second on the Royals was teammate Joakim Soria at 2.7. Greinke was the first pitcher to homer in the DH era for his original franchise, on 10-Jun-2005. The DH era began in 1973. Greinke’s home run has been the only one ever hit by any Royals pitcher in the DH Era, in more than 518 total pitcher at bats.

How Critical Race Theory is harmful to society - three articles from a Christian perspective: (1) CRT is not truth-oriented, (2) CRT is inherently and only political, and (3) CRT is a secular version of justice, undesirable for Christians, theists, and even atheists. If your mind is already made up, it won’t hurt you to read this.

If I suddenly inherited the Braves, I’d make the following changes: keep Snitker and GM AA. Wear royal every other year for Hank Aaron weekend. Every year make the Sunday alt uni be a different throwback: red pinstripe, powder blue, 82 home, 69 pinstripes, 77 road, 62 big red NOBs, 57 dark tomahawks, Doves, Beaneaters, ABC Crackers, These unis could be tied in with various anniversaries. Replace ATLANTA on the road jerseys with BRAVES. Change the navy road jerseys. Also the red Friday jerseys. Giveaways on weekdays, not weekends (except for kids giveaways) – against non-marquise teams. Giveaways could include: T-shirt of the month, bobbles, special ticket mini-bobbles, caps tied to alt unis, trucker caps. Put Bobby Dews in the Braves HOF. Bring back the Clark Howard dollar tickets.
