When you think of the 2021 season, I’m guessing the image seared into your brain involves some specific postseason moment, perhaps Freddie Freeman throwing his hands in the air, or Jorge Soler’s monumental three-run homer in Game 6. For me, though, the image is perhaps more quaint: not even a single image, but a mosaic of Guillermo Heredia celebrating his team’s exploits by jumping, shouting, and of course, frenziedly waving and slashing his plastic swords. The journeyman outfielder chipped in on the field and in the dugout for Atlanta, and made Braves baseball a hell of a lot more fun to watch in 2021.
