Atlanta Braves All Stars

They might need to get a bigger plane to transport the franchise-record eight Braves who will travel to Seattle for next week’s All-Star Game.  Braves manager Brian Snitker had the privilege on Sunday to tell first baseman Matt Olson, second baseman Ozzie Albies, third baseman Austin Riley, and starting pitchers Spencer Strider and Bryce Elder that they’re All-Stars.  These five players will join Atlanta teammates Ronald Acuña Jr., Sean Murphy and Orlando Arcia, who were all elected by fans to be in the National League’s starting lineup at this year’s Midsummer Classic on July 11th in Seatle.
