Gutsy Glaus' Double Play Decision Sparks Braves' Miraculous Game 2 Win

SAN FRANCISCO -- When the ball came bouncing toward Troy Glaus, as the runner who could provide a season-crushing blow to the Braves was sprinting home, Glaus didn't think the right play was to go to second base. He knew it. That's the point. Glaus is not a good third baseman. Never has been. Not even in his prime. He...

Braves Will Add Freddie Freeman to the Roster on Wednesday

A few weeks ago, four-time Major League Baseball All-Star Troy Glaus and a friend â local real estate appraiser Steve Albright â took a trip to Arizona to play some golf.
