I’M LEAVING: ATLANTA BRAVES SHOOTING BRIAN GERALD SNITKER HAS SIGNED UP A CONTRACT TO LEAVE ATLANTA BRAVES AND HEADING FOR ANOTHER TEAM…
Brian Gerald Snitker has been managing the Atlanta Braves for nine years as of 2024. Remarkably, he began his career as a baseball player in high school and college before playing in the minor leagues for the Atlanta Braves. However, his playing career never took off and he later joined the Braves as a roving instructor before getting hired as a minor league manager for the Anderson Braves in 1982. After serving as a coach in the minor leagues, he was made the manager for the Altanta Braves in 2016 and has been serving the role since.
Moreover, Snitker’s guidance as a manager led the Atlanta Braves to win the World Series Championship in 2021. Furthermore, they also won the National League title in 2021 and NL East Division title in 2020 and 2021. Snitker was also declared as the NL Manager of the Year in 2018.
Brian Snitker and wife Ronnie Snitker has been married for a long time. The couple first met when Brian Snitker was a minor league coach and Ronnie Snitker was working as a speech pathologist in an elementary school.
They were introduced to each other by Cito Gaston who was roommates with Brian Snitker at the time. Despite their relative differences in foods, the couple hit it off and started a romantic relationship by moving in together, much to the disappointment of Brian Snitker’s parents as they were Catholics. The couple married later. Unfortunately around 1993, Ronnie Snitker was diagnosed with breast cancer. However, the couple struggled and managed to overcome the disease.
