I don't know why

but I always liked Damon Hollins, and he’s always the first person that comes to mind when I see our 25+ man deep bench, I always say to myself “wow and we used to start Damon Hollins”.

Hollins was a class act.

He came through the Braves system in a time where they were stacked in the outfield. Hollins was fun to watch, he almost always sold out on a play, and he had good solid at-bats with some pop.
