Braves Spring Training, Part 3

Hey, it’s Endy Chavez! It broke my heart that he was traded this past off-season but he’ll forever be remembered for his catch in game seven of the 2006 NLCS. It’s a catch that’s been immortalized at Citi Field.
Former Yankee Bobby Abreu comes up to bat.
The Venezuelan fans were awesome – they had flags and, at one point, were banging on a drum.
The only way to see the Mets’ big off-season acquisition Francisco Rodriguez during this spring training trip was when he took the mound for a dominant inning in this game.
