A Tribute to Matt Diaz

image


I am a big Braves fan and my favorite player has been Matt Diaz.  Matt was not resigned for the 2011 season.  I will miss him greatly.  Matt knows how to play the game.  He plays hard and always does his best.  He is a leader on and off the field.  He’s the kind of man that we want our children to look up to.  He’s a man of character and integrity.  He never complained about playing time.  He was always ready to go when it was his turn to contribute.

In a day and age when athletes are constantly in the news for drugs, guns, cheating on their wives, rape, etc., Matt, you’ve showed us the way professional athletes are supposed to behave.  You are a class act.

Matt, thanks for five wonderful years in Atlanta. We respect you and we love you.  We will miss you but we wish you well as you go to Pittsburgh.
