I’ve said it a million times: Baseball is a weird sport. This is a deeply weird game and don’t we all know it now more than ever! The 2021 Atlanta Braves, who finished the regular season 88-73 (who only played 161 games because one of them got rained out and thankfully ended up being irrelevant) and had the lowest win total of any team in the 2021 Major League Baseball Postseason bracket, just won the World Series. Despite the fact that I went into all of these playoff series with the blissful feeling that the Braves were playing with house money, it is still extremely surreal to type out that the 2021 Atlanta Braves are World Series Champions.
The Braves were never considered World Series material — until they went on and won it
