Have any of you picked up any of the World Series Champ AJC?
I'm going to look this week in hopes to finding some.

Agent Scott Boras: Tanking, MLB's 'competitive cancer,' led to Atlanta Braves' World Series title

Baseball's most influential agent said the sport was the victim of a "competitive cancer" caused by teams unloading veterans to accumulate draft picks, and that the Atlanta Braves' World Series title was a direct result of tanking.

Absolute Horsebleep. Every team had the same opportunities, It's not like we went out and traded for all-stars on enormous expiring contracts - like the Dodgers did with Scherzer and Trae Turner, and it's not like Atlanta has anywhere near the market size of the NY teams, LA, and Boston. Atl traded for 4 OFers that their teams didn't want - and nobody else was particularly interested in them.

The Nationals tanked, and the Dodgers got their stars. The Braves got zero stars, and anyone else could have gotten the players they got. Just look at the pre-trade 2021 stats of the players they got.

GM Alex Anthopoulos details watching World Series win from quarantine

Stuck at home while his Atlanta Braves won the World Series last week, Alex Anthopoulos wasn't sure how to celebrate when his two young kids offered an idea:

"They wanted us to pull out the Sprite and spray it all over the place," he said.

The age-appropriate bubbly was a no-go on a school night, but the Anthopoulos family found other ways to be festive after the general manager was forced to quarantine at home with COVID-19 as the Braves ended Atlanta's 26-year championship drought in the big four major sports.

Anthopoulos arrived at the general managers' meetings in Southern California on Tuesday night, and, a day later, he smiled wide recounting the siloed-yet-celebratory 12-day stretch in which he won his first championship.

Anthopoulos, who is vaccinated, had a sniffly nose and tested positive for the coronavirus on the morning of Game 4 in Atlanta. Days later, he stayed at home while the team traveled to Houston for Game 6 with a chance to clinch.
The 44-year-old said he was a nervous wreck at the start of Game 6, telling wife Cristina he wanted to go for a drive instead of watching the first pitch.
