Matt Hudgins' Tribute to Evan Gattis is the Best
The amazing story of Atlanta Braves rookie catcher Evan Gattis, who overcame drug and alcohol problems, severe bouts of clinical depression and time spent jumping from odd job (janitor) to odder job (hostel housekeeper) only to have one of the more remarkable starts for any MLB rookie in recent history, has inspired a fair amount of mythologizing.

Local songwriter Rebecca Jones plays "singer-songwriter-y, almost poppy love songs" both with her band, Middle Child, and under her birth name. Flagpole recently caught up with her for a quick chat.
