Media Mogul’s Rein Memorable

An era has ended. Ted Turner resurrected the Atlanta Braves. He cultivated their national fan base. He instituted their tomahawk chop. He oversaw fourteen consecutive division championships, four National League championships, and one World Series. On Monday, Turner sold the Braves to Liberty Media.

John Schuerholz and Bobby Cox will remain. Ultimately, the Braves may win. However, Turner has departed. There were reasons America abhorred the controversial southern owner. Those reasons endeared him to Atlanta.
