Dansby Swanson made his major-league debut on Wednesday, hitting a pair of singles to ingratiate himself to the Braves faithful. Even more endearing a start than his two hits, though? Using the Ludacris classic Georgia as his walk-up music. That’s good representing. Field Mob forever. I’m still skeptical about his short-term fantasy value, but that’s a good way to win a fan.
Chase Utley hit two home runs and got a pair of curtain calls in his return to Philadelphia. Still, his greatest moment in the city is and will always be his relationship with Mac.

But also, sliding into the DMs like:
The Olympics were overshadowed by a moment we have all been waiting for and Ichiro getting 3,000 hits.
