Braves World Series Win Is Poetic Justice
After 26 years, the Atlanta Braves, America’s oldest operating baseball team established in 1871, won the World Series.
Atlanta sports fans have been through years of heartbreak and disastrous blown leads in big games but the Braves have broken the curse.
Let’s go all the way back to August 2nd. The Braves had a losing record and were in third place in their division. Exactly three months later, after some great moves at the trade deadline (Adam Duvall, Eddie Rosario, etc), they are World Series Champs.
Plus, they beat the trashcan beating Astros so you have to love it. (Can you tell I’m still bitter?)
The reason I say this is poetic justice is this:
Back in April, the 2021 All-Star Game was set to be played at Truist Park, the Braves’ home field in Atlanta, Georgia. Then, Major League Baseball falling and bending the knee to ‘wokeness,’ announced they were moving the All-Star Game out of Atlanta in response to Georgia’s new voting law which President Joe Biden referred to as “Jim Crow 2.0”
Stripped of baseball’s All-Star Game, hurting low-wage workers, the hundreds of thousands in the black community and costing metro Atlanta’s economy, the sweet poetic justice of the Braves clinching the greatest win in all of baseball is just icing on the cake.
Conservatives everywhere, Braves fans or not, should revel in that.
