Can Walt Weiss’s Surprise Strategy Keep the Atlanta Braves Dominating MLB?
Weiss, 62, captured a lot of attention earlier this month after his formidable tackle of the Angels’ Jorge Soler during a benches-clearing brouhaha. Listed at 6-foot-3, 235 pounds, the brawny Cuban outfielder is no featherweight. But Weiss, a man shaped like your wrestling coach’s wrestling coach, bulldozed Soler to the turf with ease.
“I just instinctively thought, ‘I need to get this man off his feet, or he’s going to hurt somebody,’” Weiss, an actual black belt in taekwondo, explained later on “The Show” podcast. “That’s a really big man.”
