    The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club ________________________________________________________________________________ April 2019 After getting off to a rough 0-3 start in Philadelphia, the Braves came home to a sellout crowd of 41,192 at SunTrust Park on April 1, shutting out the Chicago Cubs, 8-0. The Braves jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first and never looked back. Ender Inciarte led off with a home run and later in the inning, returning hometown favorite, Brian McCann, hit a 2-run single. Sean Newcomb and the bullpen held tough the rest of the way and our hitters made the Cubs’ porous defense pay dearly. Ronald Acuña, Jr. homered (pictured above at right) and Ozzie Albies went 3 for 4 on the night. Even better, our Braves went on to sweep the three-game series with Cubs: 8-0, 6-4, and 9-4. So what’s the outlook for the defending NL East Champion Braves in 2019? Well, read on. 400 Fan Club prognosticator, Howard Evans, lays it on the line, as he’s done in past April issues of The Tomahawk Times. Don’t forget, Howard was more on the money last year than most “experts.” The Tomahawk Times April 2019 Page 2 By Howard Evans In horse racing, they play the familiar trumpet refrain signifying the horses are at the gate. Well, the NL Eastern Division horses have broken for the early division lead as forecast. The general population of Braves fans bemoaned the lack of Braves player movement during the offseason while Philly, Washington, and New York made the headlines.

The 2018 Play Ball Summer was the most successful one to date. This year, the number of cities and mayors engaged with Play Ball increased, along with the number of youth engaged in Play Ball activities to 36,246 youth. Moreover, this year marked two landmark achievements in that more than 300 mayors from all 50 states officially took the pledge to “Play Ball”.
