Atlanta Braves Remain Red Hot And a Visit with David Justice

About this episode

Grant McAuley discusses the Atlanta Braves' recent success and interviews David Justice about his experiences in baseball.

The Atlanta Braves closed out an impressive homestand with a three-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates, improving their MLB-best record to 45-21. Grant McAuley catches you up on all the biggest stories for Atlanta, including one of the biggest strengths of the team this season -- their much-improved bench. The group of Mauricio Dubón, Jorge Mateo and Dominic Smith have led a group of reserves that has allowed manager Walt Weiss to have considerable options in the lineup and the late innings. You'll hear from Smith, who changed the Braves' plans for the designated hitter spot by becoming one of the most productive bats on the team. Special guest David Justice shares his stories and memories from the 1995 World Series, his game-winning home run, the 1990s Braves' rise to perennial contender, and what it meant to play for Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox. It's a collection of stories you don't want to miss.
