Hey James,

My name is Brett Kettyle and I am the community leader for the Atlanta Braves. I want to welcome you to the community. I read your first Braves article about Chipper Jones and thought it was great. I just want to encourage you to keep writing for the Braves community to help keep it among the best of the baseball communities on Bleacher Report.

Haha I know what you mean man. Sometimes it's hard to go back and have to read something that long right after you write it. Glad I was able to help!
