By John Le
The Atlanta Braves’ second baseman got a tweet of support last night from a really cool guy
Atlanta Braves‘ Ozzie Albies has been on a hot streak since being called up back on August 1st and had a huge game last night against the New York Mets.
Last night was the series and season finale between the Braves and Mets which saw Albies get 3 hits including a RBI hit in the 3rd.
The Braves would go on to lose 7-1 but it was still a good night for the young second baseman and one special person took notice.
