ATLANTA -- Cameron Maybin's long-awaited breakout season has been influenced by good health and the immediate connection he has drawn with Braves hitting coach Kevin Seitzer. But the veteran center fielder has also been rejuvenated by the opportunity to play approximately three hours south of his North Carolina home for the team he grew up watching.
Making the most of the opportunity to play before friends and family members who were in attendance for Saturday night's 9-5 win over the Phillies, Maybin finished a triple shy of the cycle and further strengthened the argument that he has been the Braves' most valuable player.
