@HerchelWalker FULL: "You know right now we have too many other things to be concerned about. We have people dying on the streets in Atlanta, around the country. We have people living paycheck to paycheck, can't afford food to put on that table. Can't afford gas..."
@HerchelWalker "We have a Putin out there. We have China out there. We can't be concerned about whether the Braves gonna change their name. We need to be concerned about saving this country. We need to be concerned about saving the Georgia people..."
Joe West's first two ejections, September 8, 1977 of Steve Henderson & Joe Torre. (NYDN 9/9/77). #MLB #Mets 
So, with no hysteria, name-calling or yelling, I'm going to try to explain why the chop and chant are racist and fans should not continue it. My hope is to have just ONE Atlanta fan in the comments go, "You know, if you put it that way..." 1/8
....The chop and chant are insensitive because they perpetuate stereotypes that most of us and our parents and grandparents all saw depicted in TV and in the movies, depicting Native Americans as war-mongering heathens who speak English in a stilted way and just want to ... 2/8
.... scalp us. The chop perpetuates the violent part of that, and folks need to understand that Native Americans have a rich history of music-making that includes chants, some of which are rooted in prayer, many in historical story-telling. In part, the #braves chant mocks... 3/8
Fun exercise—if you grew up as a kid in the early 90s watching the #Braves on TBS because you were a MLB addict—how many players from that golden era can you name without Google? 1991-1995. I got 15.
Otis Nixon. Terry Pendleton. Sid Bream. David Justice. Greg Olson. Maddux, Glavine, Avery, Smoltz, Kent Merker, Mark Wohlers. Mark Lemke. Jeff Blauser. Ron Gant. Brian Hunter.
Very proud of the Jeff Blauser pull. I couldn’t tell you what I had for lunch yesterday but I remember Blauser crushing as a shortstop.

The Dodgers were one timely hit, one blast, one crooked number away from withstanding the Atlanta Braves’ best punch Saturday night.
But the mercurial offense didn’t produce for the final five innings.

The ridiculous cost of commercial real estate, for one. I'd have to think #athletics and the city could woo companies to build there. Need for more affordable housing, and @mlb now sees how teams can generate revenue with dining/drinking/entertainment venues in the ...
@MLB ... ballpark villages that the league and teams want around each park. The #braves did it in a non-downtown area (albeit a more well-to-do area). But this is where tax breaks can be palatable. Many cities, counties and states woo business with tax incentives. The public can ...
@MLB ... be sold on these, I think, if they understand the revenue they can generate. Even the A's should get consideration for tax-increment financing (public money funded by taxes that increased development generates). But do it in an area that needs development -- not one ...
The NL playoff race is currently total chaos. The *only* seeds anywhere near determined for certain are the Dodgers at 1 and the Padres at 4.
Not only are the Cubs and Braves deadlocked for the 2/3 (with identical intradivisional records, for now), but Atlanta has to play Miami four times now, and they only lead Miami by 3!
Meanwhile, Miami is also part of a cluster of six teams separated by 1.5 total games! Either they or the Phillies (or maybe the Braves!) will get a guaranteed spot as the NL East runner-up, and one of the Cardinals, Brewers, and Reds will get an automatic bid too.
Okay let’s run through what just happened in the last 16 minutes at SunTrust Park:
Game stopped at 9:00 because it started to rain. Grounds crew starts to put tarp on field. It stops raining. They are waiting for instruction on if they continue with tarp.
It starts raining again. Fan runs onto field while Umps are making decision on if we continue play. Fan gets taken down hard by 5-6 security guards. Laid out. Dances off field, I guess not understanding consequences.
