Not including the Reds' salary dump, Taveras was released for the fourth time this year today. This time, it was by the Braves. He hit .119/.213/.143 for their AAA team.

Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
