Atlanta Braves

The panhandle now lives in the record books...for now at least

It's been a couple of years since we heard the news in Amarillo. We were getting some pretty famous names at Hodgetown. Usually, we start thinking about a new pitcher, a big-name hitter. No this was bigger.

If you are a baseball fan you always have high hopes when the Trade Deadlines are near. Tuesday evening was that deadline. You hope that you get some good players, especially if you are a playoff contender.

It's been a heck of a ride for Tucker Davidson to his first Major League Baseball win. Tucker from Amarillo made his first start for the Atlanta Braves during the final game of the 2020 season.

This has been a crazy week in the sports world. I mean we still have college basketball madness going on and that always has craziness. Things are also heating up in the baseball world. Both in the majors and minors as the season is getting so close.

It's been a little under two weeks since the Atlanta Braves won the World Series. I am still a little in disbelief about that. I mean it's been twenty-six years in the making. What makes it even more special is the local ties to that series.

I'm going to start this off by saying I am a HUGE Atlanta Braves fan. I am sorry Astros fans this is just the way it is. It has been since the early nineties thanks to TBS covering pretty much all of their games.

I saw earlier this year that the Atlanta Braves signed Tucker Davidson from Tascosa High School. Then, of course, COVID hit so I had no idea if he would even get a season.
