Jimmy Carter Sends Heartfelt Message to Matt Olson of the Atlanta Braves
As the Atlanta Braves continue their dominant run in the 2024 MLB season, one of their biggest fans, former President Jimmy Carter, has taken a moment to recognize the outstanding performance of first baseman Matt Olson.
In a heartfelt message delivered to Olson through the Braves organization, Carter, a lifelong Braves supporter and Georgia native, expressed his admiration for Olson’s remarkable contributions to the team. The 99-year-old former president, known for his love of baseball, praised Olson not only for his stellar play on the field but also for the leadership and dedication he has shown throughout the season.
“Dear Matt,” the message began, “I’ve been a Braves fan for as long as I can remember, and it has been a true joy to watch you play this season. Your commitment to excellence, both at the plate and in the field, is a testament to the hard work and determination that makes this team so special. You represent the best of what it means to be an Atlanta Brave.”
Olson, who has been a key figure in the Braves’ success this year, leading the team with his power-hitting and defensive prowess, was reportedly moved by the message. “It’s an incredible honor to receive such kind words from President Carter,” Olson said in response. “He’s been a role model for so many, and to know that he’s watching and supporting us means the world to me and the entire team.”
Carter’s message comes as the Braves gear up for the postseason, where they are considered strong contenders for the World Series. Olson, who has been instrumental in the Braves’ pursuit of another championship, acknowledged that the former president’s support adds even more motivation to the team’s drive for success.
As the Braves look ahead to the final stretch of the season, Carter’s words of encouragement serve as a reminder of the deep connection between the team and its fans, particularly those like Carter who have supported them for decades. For Olson, the message is a cherished moment in what has already been an unforgettable season.
“Thank you, President Carter,” Olson concluded. “We’ll do our best to make you proud.”
