I am fan of Olson. I love this dudes swing. The Braves have another WS title coming their way in the next few years, or maybe this year, and he will be a big part of it.

Also hearing Matt’s dad talk about that first at bat. Man that’s what dads dream of. So cool. Hometown guys just mean more

I’m just now finding out Matt went to Parkview in Lilburn! I went to Camp Creek elementary as a kid! Already loved the dude and now I find out I grew up in the exact same town as he did.

I'm a Bay Area native. I've been an Oakland A's fan for 50 years. I watched and fell in love with Matt Olson in Oakland. In 2019 I moved to Tennessee. In 2021 I became a Braves fan as I watched their thrilling journey to the World Series victory. Then I celebrated the arrival of a young man whom I already admired to a team I had learned to love. I love baseball, and I'm thrilled to see this talented young man fulfill his childhood dreams !

I actually think 2-3 years from now all Braves fans will understand what we are trying to build by adding Matt. So much talent on that time, so much fun to watch.

Fast-forward a month from when this video was posted and Matt is hitting his stride and playing great. He's going to be a cornerstone of what the Braves do for a longtime

This young man put me in the mind of Dale Murphy. His manner, his demeanor and his ability! When I was a boy I watched Dale Murphy (Mr. Clean) if some of you remember that. We need more like them both in baseball. Not the flamboyance and drama of today! Thank you Dale Murphy and Matt Olson. These are the heros kids need to look up to!

Love Freddie, I’m mad the Braves let that one get away, happy for Freddie though and as a Braves fan for life, I honestly couldn’t think of a better guy to play other than Freddie, and he’s not expected to be Freddie Freeman, we want Matt Olson. CHOP CHOP!

Now he’s breaking franchise records! Incredible! 🪓🫶🏼

Huge A’s fan but Olson is my biggest inspiration by far… I’m a lefty and a pitcher and first baseman. When he got traded I was devastated. I still am. If he got traded though I’m so glad it’s to the Braves. Rooting for him!!

I already liked Matt...I like him even more now! His parents are freakin adorable :-)

Olson had 2 bombs last night and leading the MLB in doubles. BRAVES are the hottest team in baseball at this point 6/29/2022 After Freddie just came through Atlanta and finally recieved his ring, it's clear Freddie is and always will be a brave no matter what jersey he's wearing. His agent is the one to thank for this situation. In my mind everyone won except Freddie. I bet Freddie would pay twice his contract to go back and forget this ever happened.

Ill forever be a Matty Moonbombs Olson fan! Thank you for your awesomeness in the green and gold sir!

I’m from south texas and a die hard Atlanta Braves , I grew up a watching the onTBS and i was watching since 1989 loved watching them everyday after school. One day I’ll go see them before my time is. Batting cancer right now on my kidneys. Praying that everything goes well and I can go see them live

My favorite. Go Matt!

It's been a little up and down, but I am very excited to see what he does in Atlanta. Already leading the league in doubles.

So happy for you Matt, thank you for all you did here in Oakland, you gave us fans so many memories!

Coming back to rewatch this after Matt just broke the franchise record for home runs congrats Matt looking forward to the next 6 years with you

U can see the proudness of Matt Olson's father

It is 9/14/23 and he is number 1 and tied the franchise record in home runs with 51. He is sitting at 128 RBI’s and could break the current braves record of 132

I love how Jeff Francoeur just can't let it go. He was a flash in the pan. Good for Matt. Worthy replacement of Freddie.

Now he’s leading Freddy in most stats! Let’s go baby!

I'm an a's fan and we can't afford our players like Matt Olson I miss this guy he really is smooth with the glove at first base and offensively I'm sure he's numbers will be better in Atlanta I like his swing

Biggggg shoes to fill. Hopefully he can just be his own person. Build his own legacy as a player.

I love this guy

Awesome story

Amazing thumbnail

Nice story all around

If we must lose Freddie (which still hurts), there can't be a better replacement than Olson

Then he comes to the braves and hits 50+ homers and is top 4 in MVP voting in his hometown.. call it destiny if you want. Solid replacement for freeman.

Best GM in baseball

I miss freddy a lot. but I'm so glad we have a Georgia boy on 1st

I think Olsen was one of the best decisions the Braves have made in years.

My friends dad coached him in high school

Dad teary eyed talking bout how proud he’s is of his son is something not easily earned but such a privilege when it happens! Way to go Matt! -Sad White Sox Fan

His mom is my 5th grade teacher

3:00 sheeesh that’s a tall order 😂

I hope it works out for us I like him so far but he slugging right now

Lilburn is East of Atlanta

show his buzzer in atl

lilburn is east not west of Truist Park.. just fyi.

He's in his prime years right now, and from what I have seen, he is a good player. I'm not sure I would call him a great player. I also have worries about how his swing will age because of its length.

30 miles WEST?! LILBURN IS NOT WEST OF SMYRNA LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO

Should have dumbed ozuna and kept Freddy as dh/1st and still got Matt.

🤣🤣🤣

Freddie bettah

Been a fan of Atl since 1993 but I seriously can't stand this dude at all

I'm glad we have a true, home-grown first baseman, shedding ourselves from that lying, despicable carpet-bagger Freddie Freeman.

A $168 million contract and he doesn't need a college degree.
