Good teams, good series, but I haven’t been paying much attention (ha). I will watch the Cubs one day - I promised the Monday Night podcast crew.

Finish Your Breakfast (4.27.2026): Question for the Mixtape family: Atlanta sports have a long-standing history of collaborating with Black entertainers, entrepreneurs, and themes. Some collaborations have been extremely successful, like the Braves Outkast bobblehead night, and some questionable (the Hawks Magic City Night), in terms of their results. To be clear, Atlanta sports franchises do not exclusively use these themes; they do so inclusively to ensure those connected to Black culture feel welcome. Why does this work so well in Atlanta? Can it work for other baseball franchises? Let me know in the comments. Start with the question and stick to the highlights. Finish Your Breakfast.
