ATLANTA — The dulcet cheers of “Eddie” reverberated throughout Truist Park. A sellout crowd of 43,060 fans stood in concert as the symphonic melody meandered like a gusty wind on a cool Georgia night.
In the middle, stood an unlikely hero basking in his moment. A giant smile accompanied his brazen confidence. On Saturday night, Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario forever etched his name in club history.
And he did it with one swing.
In the fourth inning, Rosario blasted a massive three-run homer to propel the Braves to the World Series for the first time in 22 years.
