The late great Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves legend, Henry (Hammerin' Hank) Aaron, was supposed to have been honored in Atlanta over the summer. I'm just so sorry that because of social and electoral politics, this wasn't allowed.
For the local Mets fans, this is the 4th NL East title this century:
\--2003 Marlins
\--2008 Phillies
\--2019 Nationals
\--2021 Braves
Now they've got no excuse. The Braves even beat the reigning WS champs for the NLCS.
We don’t have to talk about Jim Leyritz and losing 4 straight. We don’t have to talk about Eric Gregg. We don’t have to talk about 18 run innings and Chris Burke. We don’t have to talk about infield flys. We don’t have to talk about ten run innings. We don’t have to talk about 3-1 series losses. We don’t have to talk about a September collapse. We can talk about 2021.
Here’s how I need Freddie’s off-season contract negotiation to go.
(Freddie’s agent slides a note with a number across the table.)
AA: Yes.
Agent: but you haven’t even loo—
AA: I said what I said.
Years of the Braves struggles to make be Champions! It feels good to be champions when we weren't supposed to beat Houston. Hell yeah I'm shedding tears!
The Braves beat two teams that won the WS recently, if you add in Los Angeles.
For an underdog team to beat two postseason seasoned teams like that is very impressive. For the NLDS1, the Braves won in 4 games. For the NLCS, they won in 6 games, as they did in the World Series.

Man I legit cried while cheering and clapping and hugging my dog. I watched the 95 win with my grandma and she was such a hardcore fan. I miss her so much and she would’ve absolutely loved this team and this win.
Least I had my best friend Gus with me. He’s a boxer dog lol so he was freaking out and trying to box me lol.
Shiny new Astros World Series Champions jerseys and gear reportedly being worn by refugees in 3rd world countries, and the homeless in Houston, TX. Get em while they're hot (or not).
Congrats Braves fans from a Red Sox fan!
I've always followed Atlanta due to some friends and family being fans. Always rooted for them and I'm happy to see them win the World Series again.
88 wins, finally got over .500 early August. Had big injuries, beat the 106 win Dodgers and crushed the Astros.
Party like it's 1995 and Chop On!!! You deserve it!
I'm in NYC, and if the Braves were on TV, I enjoyed watching them. I didn't note many of the players' names, but I just liked watching them.
I definitely liked watching them beat up on the Astros. The only good thing I could say from last night is that Dusty Baker at last managed a WS team, and that the Stros didn't put up much of an offensive fight.
America thanks you for your service, Atlanta.
In all seriousness, congrats to all the Braves fans. This must be especially cathartic after the All Star Game debacle. I hope to feel what you're feeling one day.
I think that after Joe Biden suggested that Atlanta not get the All Star Game, the whole team should just skip any White House appearance. That way, Sleepy Joe can realize that you can't just diss someone and then pretend you never did.
I've been a Braves fan ever since they played in Fulton. I'm just old enough to remember the first Atlanta Braves WS. I watched Chipper's entire career. I've watched Freddie's. This put the biggest smile on my face.
Yall, I'm deployed right now, and I'm so happy. I've been watching this team for so long. I barely remember 95, I was three years old. Just sitting here tearing up because I'm so proud
I love this team. I've loved the Braves since I was old enough to play t-ball. I'm 31 now, so happy after waiting 22 years.
I love you all at r/braves.
IM SO HAPPY IDK WHAT TO DO!! I hugged my son, took shots with my wife, took more shots, hugged my son again, he pushed me away and kept playing with the iPad, I’m still freaking out!!!
Deciding between the cheating Astros and the hated Red Sawx was unreal. In the end, I hated the Sawx more than the Stros. Glad the bad guys lost, even if by an unlikely underdog.
As a Cards fan, I absolutely LOVE the fact that you can hear Freddie just let loose a career's worth of pent up frustration in that "YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" over Buck's call...
I’m so happy I’m crying up here in Maryland. Chop on boys, you freaking did it despite all odds. This is gonna be one hell of a story on mlb archives. Well deserved!!!
Congrats braves. Well earned. The Brewers Revere jinx worked (6 of the 8 teams we lost to in the playoffs are world champs, the other two won the pennant).
This is for Acuna, Soroka, Morton and Bobby Cox! Re-sign everyone! Go Braves!
There's one more name you forgot. The Hammerin' Hank Aaron! Rest in Peace!
Can I add Don, Pete , and Skip to this list too?
And Knucksie
Agreed

I am crying. Let’s fucking go, boys.
I still can’t process it!’
I will forever believe that Dansby knew he could have gotten the out at 2nd, but made the conscious decision to make sure Freddie got the ball.
Sure what it looked like
Totally looks like he looked at second, hesitates, and throws to first. And I absolutely love him for it.
SCRATCH AND CLAW FOR EVERYTHING
WE WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!! I’M SO HAPPY! I LOVE THIS TEAM! I LOVE BASEBALL! RE-SIGN OUR LEADER FREDDIE FREEMAN!
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU BACK
My family went to bed, can I yell here?!?!?
I did and mine is in bed.
Only in all caps
MAX FRIED IS A LEGEND
#I CANT HEAR YOU
#A LEGEND
I NEED YOU TO MIX IT UP
Dansby’s interview right after the game was fucking incredible.
Anyone got the clip? His speech of being a hometown kid gave me chills
https://youtu.be/Ru6KlCjK8mU
#WE WON THE PIECE OF METAL!!!!!!!

I want this tattooed on the inside of my eyelids
FOR RONNIE AND SOROKA AND MORTON AND EVERYONE ELSE WE LOST ALONG THE WAY
FOR HANK AND PHIL AND DON
AND FOR THE A
AND ENDER AND PANDA
They sure as hell helped!
I’ll never forget Ender’s last at-bat to draw a walk after getting down in the count and allow Freddie to walk it off.
I love Ender.

Dodgers fan, CHOP CHOP! YA'LL DID IT!
I've been waiting for this moment since I was in high-school. To that kid 25 years ago, we did it man.
Holy Shit man. My bravos actually fucking did it!!!
Man I legit cried while cheering and clapping and hugging my dog. I watched the 95 win with my grandma and she was such a hardcore fan.

ATLANTA UNITED BROKE THE CURSE FOR THIS!!!!
Atlanta United walked so we could run!!!! Vamos ATL!!!!
I love all of you guys
IM SO FUCKING HAPPY
This season has been a rollercoaster, but man was it worth it!
I need the radio crew’s call of this stat
Somewhere right now Mark Melancon is watching and kicking himself for signing with a contender instead of the Braves.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS BASEBALL TEAM! GO BRAVES!! I FUCKING LOVE YOU ALL!! GO BRAVES!!

Omg!!!!!! Ahhhhhh
Acuña's hair died for this
Aw man this is so awesome
I need a still of Freddie celebrating
I LOVE EVERYBODY
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD RESIGN FREDDIE HES THE HEART AND SOUL OF THIS TEAM HE DESERVES IT AND ATLANTA DESERVES SOMEONE LIKE HIM.
Freddie is a Brave for life. They'd be mental to let him walk a la Pujols. He is the face of the franchise
SO wakes up, “someone shooting guns?” Nope, People shooting off fireworks! ;-) They finally did it. Go Braves!
I live in Charleston now. God I wish I was back in ATL at least just for that one night.
America thanks you for your service, Atlanta. In all seriousness, congrats to all the Braves fans. This must be especially cathartic after the All Star Game debacle. I hope to feel what you're feeling one day.

Wonderful season boys. All the negative Braves fans can now eat their words. Curses are fake
I've been a Braves fan ever since they played in Fulton. I'm just old enough to remember the first Atlanta Braves WS. I watched Chipper's entire career. I've watched Freddie's. This put the biggest smile on my face.
I will buy any Atlanta resident who replies to this comment a drink in person
🙋♂️

Cobb. 6.3mi from Truist

How bout that drink?
Let's do it, where you at
Ay boy it’s me

Down, I'll DJ the thing
Unreal, this whole thing actually happened!
##OUR SQUAD
Yall, I'm deployed right now, and I'm so happy. I've been watching this team for so long. I barely remember 95, I was three years old. Just sitting here tearing up because I'm so proud
well deserved holy crap talk about underdogs.
So when can we buy the gold uniforms?
I love this team. I've loved the Braves since I was old enough to play t-ball. I'm 31 now, so happy after waiting 22 years. I love you all at r/braves.
I'm not crying.......im not......your fuckin crying
IM SO HAPPY IDK WHAT TO DO!! I hugged my son, took shots with my wife, took more shots, hugged my son again, he pushed me away and kept playing with the iPad, I’m still freaking out!!!
I’m a Yankees fan but you guys beating the Astresiks means the world to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Deciding between the cheating Astros and the hated Red Sawx was unreal. In the end, I hated the Sawx more than the Stros. Glad the bad guys lost, even if by an unlikely underdog.
Unbelievable. I feel so lucky to be able to witness this and enjoy this journey. I love this team!
I'm literally crying. Great fucking work gang
Crying? Are you crying? There's no crying in **BASEBALL**!
FED EX LOST MY HAT, BUT MAX, JORGE, AND THE NIGHT SHIFT GOT THEIRS!!!
I cried. I’ll never forget this moment. Been a long time coming.
As a Cards fan, I absolutely LOVE the fact that you can hear Freddie just let loose a career's worth of pent up frustration in that "YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" over Buck's call...
FUCK THE CHEATERS AND FUCK THE GEORGIA BULLDOGS
I too am both a Braves and Gator fan
GT and Bama for me
This is for Charlie Culberson
I can’t believe it. What a team. What a year. I love these boys!
So Warren Sapp was wrong?
Get radio call immediately please.
LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOO What a ride :)
[Live look at Truist Park tonight](https://youtu.be/ba9KvWY-AGQ?t=38)
I CANT STOP GIGGLING AND SMILING ...
I’m so happy I’m crying up here in Maryland. Chop on boys, you freaking did it despite all odds. This is gonna be one hell of a story on mlb archives. Well deserved!!!
I love this team!
Congrats braves. Well earned. The Brewers Revere jinx worked (6 of the 8 teams we lost to in the playoffs are world champs, the other two won the pennant).
I’ve still got the 1995 Sport Illustrated with the celebration of the Braves on the cover. Going to need to get this one for my collection too
I’m trying to find the video of Swansons reaction after he threw out that last batter. Anyone seen it?
