Sep. 21—CUMBERLAND — It's a story Atlanta Braves executive Mike Plant likes to tell.
"About nine years ago, we all had the opportunity to put our boots on, and many of us walked through these woods," he said Wednesday morning on a street corner in The Battery Atlanta. "And here we stand today, and obviously it looks a lot different. The Battery has been a tremendous success, Truist Park, and obviously our team. And we know a lot of that is because of Tim."
Plant was referring to Tim Lee, who served as chairman of the Cobb Board of Commissioners from 2010 to 2016, and who is best remembered for orchestrating the deal that brought the Braves to Cobb County.
