This space usually is reserved for an interesting statistic, fact, comment (we like taking shots at the Mets, who are, by the way, 14 games back in the standings) or insight into the Braves each weekday. Today, we switch it up a little because, well, this is too good not to promote.
Justin Toscano, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Braves beat reporter, has a lot of questions. One such question: How bad is the heckling from the bleacher creatures in the outfield? He asked Braves players – in Philadelphia of all places.
They had answers.
Here is a little bit of what Sam Hilliard said.
“These people are pretty resourceful. They are able to use the internet and look up just anything and everything about you that’s on there. And most of the times, I hear stuff about my family, specifically my wife and my mom. Not good things. My mom (Tamara) was Miss Texas. I’ve heard it my whole life from my friends growing up. But now, playing in MLB, you hear it behind you. They’re yelling stuff about Miss Texas. I’m not gonna go into details.”
