During their series with the Diamondbacks, Braves legend Julio Teheran made a heartfelt post to Instagram.
He wrote (translated to English via Google): “My son! It’s already been 10 years And my heart fills with joy seeing How much you have grown I thank God for your life And may He grant you a long life and health 🙏🏾🙌🏾 I LOVE YOU MY JOR HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎁🎂”
There were over 500 likes on his post in less than two hours.
Braves fans will likely enjoy seeing the post, as he was once their best starting pitcher.
The 35-year-old was also in Atlanta during their series with the Diamondbacks (for Alumni Weekend).
X user @kadinthezone wrote (on Saturday): “A lot of players got big ovations last night but one of the loudest has to be for Julio Teheran. I absolutely did not expect to see him there.”
