Sunday truly was a fun day for Braves fans!
So many awesome highlights, pictures, and moments to enjoy over and over again from Saturday night. Beyond the performance on the field, the energy in the crowd was absolutely incredible. Anyone and everyone that was at Truist Park helped to created an amazing atmosphere that will be remembered for years to come. It truly has been another step forward and a special season for the Braves.
However, despite narratives being rewritten and expectations consistently being exceeded, one very important truth remains:
The job is not finished!
Obviously, earning the right to make the World Series and embracing the experience should be cherished. However, the Braves, more than most franchises in all of sports, know achieving this opportunity is far from guaranteed to be a frequent thing. As a result, though the Braves will once again be playing the role of underdogs against the Astros, this roster will be fully ready to rise to the occasion and bring another World Series title to Atlanta.
