There have been a lot of tributes that have been made to Kevin Towers over the past day following his passing from a rare and aggressive thyroid cancer. That includes this piece from Ken Rosenthal. But there’s an Atlanta Braves connection of some note.
Most of the comments about Towers have centered around his personality and that he allowed himself to to live and not stay in character as a General Manager on a 24/7 basis. Even the photo used for this post has him hitting golf balls for charity events… even from the roof of a nearby hotel into his own stadium!
