You can\u2019t even put into words just how much this means, not for me, but for this entire organization, the entire city. You see the fan base. They\u2019re here,\u201d he added.The 88-win Braves battled through injuries all year, losing their best player in Ronald Acuna Jr. in July to a torn ACL, and had to get through the Milwaukee Brewers and the 106-win LA Dodgers before taking on the 95-win Astros.\u00a0\u201cWe hit every pothole, every bump you could possibly hit this year, and somehow the car still made it onto the other side,\u201d first baseman Freddie Freeman said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been the best team since the Trade Deadline, and we played like it all the way into the postseason.
