Three days after winning the franchise's first World Series title in 26 years, the Braves celebrated in and around downtown Atlanta on Friday.
According to police estimates, approximately 300,000 to 400,000 fans showed up to celebrate the Braves, who closed out the Houston Astros in six games on Tuesday night.
Several Braves players spoke to the energized crowd, with one of the popular topics being the importance of re-signing star first baseman Freddie Freeman, who will be a free agent this winter.
"It might get me in trouble, but re-sign Freddie," said shortstop Dansby Swanson, a native of nearby Marietta, Ga.
