Atlanta Braves’ World Series run inspiring young athletes to ‘chop on’

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves’ World Series run is not just good for the team and businesses, but also for young athletes who want to play baseball.

With every crack of the bat, Atlanta native Termarr Johnson, 17, is closer to getting a crack at the big leagues.

“More than just getting drafted or being a big leaguer, I just want to be one of the best to ever play,” Johnson said.

Johnson, a senior at Mays High School, is considered the best hitter in high school anywhere, and he does it with a 4.3 grade point average.
