THE Atlanta Braves Traditional Cache
Vidia: This cache was placed with the permission of then VP, now Team President, Geof Iacuessa. Obviously, now that he have been promoted the word has not been passed to folks within the organization. Since the cache has been removed and the Baseball Anyone Series is a distant memory, not worth fighting to replace it.
Thanks to all who have found it over the years.

Baseball Anyone? Series, The Atlanta Braves
My favorite player is Edgar Renteria, for that reason I selected his current team, THE ATLANTA BRAVES.
Edgar Renteria was born August 7, 1975 in Columbia. In 1995, as a nineteen year-old, he was assigned to the Portland Sea Dogs, the Double A affiliate of the Florida Marlins. He had an excellent season batting .289 and playing superlative shortstop. To those of us who saw him play regularly he was clearly the best shortstop in the league. However, Nomar Garciaparra was named the Eastern League All-Star shortstop. In our opinion Edgar was robbed.
Rentería has a compact swing and drives the ball to all fields. He is a patient, fundamentally-sound hitter, particularly adept at driving the ball to the right side. Like most hitters with the innate ability to hit the other way, Renteria has spent most of his career batting second in lineups. On the bases, he reads pitchers' moves well, usually getting good jumps which account for his consistent stolen base totals. Although widely regarded a shy person, Renteria often takes time out of his busy life to meet with fans and sign autographs. This fan-friendly nature, in fact, inspired a group of Atlanta fans to dress up in egg costumes, calling themselves Edgar's Eggs.
Accomplishments
• Hit a 2 out single in the 1997 World Series in the bottom of the eleventh.
• Six-time All-Star (1998, 2000, 2003-04, 2006-07)
• Two-time Gold Glove Award winner (2002-03)
• Three-Time Silver Slugger Award winner for shortstop (2000, 2002-03)
• Had a 24 game hitting streak spanning the last game of 2005 and his first 23 games of 2006. His 23 game single season streak was the second longest ever to start a season.
Hidden at one of Edgar’s familiar places in Portland, with permission of the management. May be a very high muggle area and may not be available at all times for that reason.
