A mere two weeks ago, during a long conversation inside the manager’s office at the Triple-A Gwinnett Braves stadium, 60-year-old Brian Snitker was confessing to the same dreams as those spurring the 20-somethings dressing in the clubhouse across the hall.
“Like I’ve told them,” he said, nodding toward the players’ quarters, “I don’t feel I’m done in the big leagues yet. I want to go back. I think I can still be a part.
“If not, so what? Ain’t no big deal.”
Snitker did return to majors Tuesday, named the Braves’ interim manager following the dismissal of Fredi Gonzalez.
