his year, the keynote speaker is Atlanta Braves’ legendary pitching coach Leo Mazzone. Whatever advance coverage you can provide is much appreciated, as UNCA baseball has a limited operational budget which needs the revenues created through ticket sales to this important event. Thanks so much for your consideration. Here’s a quick bio on Leo:
-
Member of the Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame
-
Member of the 1995 World Series Champions and a Braves team that won 14 consecutive division titles.
-
ESPN.com lists him No. 1 on its list of “Top 10 Assistant Coaches of All-Time”
-
He worked for the Braves’ organization for 26 years (1979-2005)
-
Coached future Baseball Hall of Fame starting pitchers Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz–all were Cy Young Award winners as well–on a starting pitching rotation that was ranked No. 1 (1998) and No. 4 (1993) all-time by ESPN.
-
Mazzone’s “accidental trademark” was his rocking back and forth while sitting in the dugout. On television broadcasts of Braves games, the camera would often show him rocking back and forth during the game.
