Only a select few Atlanta Braves players hold "never have to buy a beer," status around the city of Atlanta. Eddie Rosario and Tyler Matzek certainly qualify for their 2021 postseason heroics. However, after many, many stints with the Braves, one seasoned vet eventually became a cultural icon that has a fair claim to join Rosario and Matzek in Braves lore. That man is Jesse Chavez, another member of the 2021 World Series team, and someone who carved out an 18-year career in the Major Leagues.
It almost became a running joke about how excellent Chavez was with the Braves as he bounced around teams, but never had quite the success he had in Atlanta.
