No Sprite, no spite: Braves' Anthopoulos beaming as WS champ

CARSLBAD, Calif. (AP) — Stuck at home while his Atlanta Braves won the World Series last week, Alex Anthopoulos wasn't sure how to celebrate when his two young kids offered an idea:

“They wanted us to pull out the Sprite and spray it all over the place,” he said.

The age-appropriate bubbly was a no-go on a school night, but the Anthopoulos family found other ways to be festive after the general manager was forced to quarantine at home with COVID-19 as the Braves ended Atlanta's 26-year championship drought in the big four major sports.
