    Dramatic announcement from Rico

    Many of you haven't been wonder why I, rico, did not fill the void of the off-season with another less than memorable series.

    To recap, two winters ago I posted the 10 Worst Days in Atlanta Braves history -- a list of which about 70 percent of which still remains valid. Pretty sure Coppygate woudl be in there somewhere, but I don't think it takes No.1 away from the murder of Dave Shotkoski.

    Last year, I spent far too much time listing the Top 50 (or so) Prospects, shocking the world by making Bob Horner No. 1. In that short time, Acuna hype has reached levels unmatched by anything before, but even taking social media into consideration, is it more than Andruw Jones got at the time of his arrival?

    The debate rages on. Maybe not.

    Beginning in May, rico will present another series of stories that You Don't Know. All we'll say is that we have not broached this topic before. We also need to figure out a way of posting pictures without getting raped by Photobucket.

    On top of that, if someone successfully guesses what this next series will entail, I will send them (or at least the first one) an online Master Set of the 1968 Braves on their 50th anniversary in Topps format. It's a beauty!

    Stay tuned.

    Looking forward to it.

    Still don't think anybody tops Andruw as a prospect. Acuna matches the offensive hype he had but Andruw had that Willie Mays glove working for him too.

    My guess is the next series will be the most memorable games in Atlanta Braves history.

    Last summer, I was about to share my shots of Acuna. It just got to cumbersome and frustrating with Photobucket.

    Hawk's right about Imgur. Very easy and free.

    For sure. Have to defer to the IT guys, but just wondering why we can't have this arranged to just posts pics from files. That is, assuming members will only post appropriate content.
