Fans love a good comeback story - especially when it is a baseball player. Fact or fiction, it does not matter. And right now, Atlanta Braves fans -- and all baseball fans -- need some good stories.
Who doesn't root for Roy Hobbs in his return to baseball with the New York Knights (screw you, Judge)? Or for Jim Morris as he goes from high school teacher to Major League Baseball pitcher?
But real life is always more interesting.
As these former Braves' players we are about to discuss will show, there is no substitute for the awesomeness of the human spirit to overcome any obstacle that gets in the way of our dreams.
