BRACK: Gwinnett Stripers having good year at CoolRay; In second place
By Elliott Brack | The Atlanta area is enjoying winning baseball more this year, as both the Atlanta Braves and Gwinnett Stripers are having good seasons. The Braves are in first place, up by seven games after sweeping the first series in San Diego after the All-Star break. Meanwhile, the Gwinnett Stripers are having a good season, making a lot of noise, with lots of heavy hitting, and are in second place in their division of the Class AAA International League.
Gwinnett Forum | Dec. 20, 2024
“….if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.”
— Canadian Author Robertson Davies (1913-1995).
