Ender Inciarte first saw the Braves play when he was 10 years old, when he traveled with his dad and his brother from Venezuela to Florida to watch the Braves play the Cardinals in a spring training game.
“My dad was a huge fan of the Atlanta Braves,” Inciarte said. “He said, ‘When you grow up, I wish you would play for them.’ He said, ‘Hey, man, I want you to play like Chipper Jones.’ I said, ‘Dad, that’s a lot to ask.’”
