Tim Lee, who brought Braves to Cobb, is now out of a job

Even at 34-66, the Atlanta Braves remain a major-league franchise. There are but 30 of those in these United States.

As of April 2017, Cobb County will house one of them.

You’d think the individual most responsible for luring the Atlanta Braves from downtown Atlanta would be having a statue cast to sit outside SunTrust alongside the new monument to Hank Aaron. And maybe someday that will indeed happen. Tuesday, however, was not a day for commemoration. It was a day of dismissal.
