Hobson Lopes, a life long Connecticut native, has been a fan of the Atlanta Braves since 1990 when he was just five years old. Despite being more than a thousand miles away, following his favorite team was easy growing up due to their television contract. The team may not be broadcast on that station any longer, but Lopes has still found a way to watch as many games as he can and to keep track of any and all news regarding the team. It has been a dream of his to write a book that tracks the greatest players to ever wear the jersey for this storied franchise. Dating back to their time in Boston, Milwaukee and of course, Atlanta, Lopes looks back at the biggest accolades and achievements for all the great former players.About the Author: Hobson Lopes is a freelance writer/editor who has worked for numerous websites and publications during his freelance career.
