Braves interested in Cody Ross?Cody Ross joined the San Francisco Giants in August of 2010 after being waived by the Florida Marlins. He then somehow became an offensive powerhouse for the rest of the regular season and throughout the postseason. He brought in two of the team’s winning runs in the team’s three victories in the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves. He hammered two homers off of Roy Halladay in the first game of the NLCS against the Philadelphia Phillies and went on to be the MVP of that series, batting .350, as the Giants went on to win the World Series against the Texas Rangers.

That kind of offensive power didn’t stick with him for the 2011 season. He hit .240 with 14 homers and 25 doubles in 121 games for the Giants this past season. And now the 31-year-old veteran of five teams is looking for a new home.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the Atlanta Braves have some interest in Ross but “would want the price to keep coming down.” The word from the AJC is that Ross “wants something in the neighborhood of the two-year, $10 million deal that Dave DeJesus got” from the Chicago Cubs. But it’s hard to see that happening.

The paper also notes that Ross is said to be talking to the Oakland Athletics about a possible deal.

The Atlanta Braves said funeral arrangements have been made for the wife of trainer Jeff Porter, after she was struck by a state trooper in the family’s SUV late Saturday afternoon.

The crash happened near Memorial Drive and Capitol Avenue in downtown Atlanta on Saturday around 4:30 p.m.

The Atlanta Braves released a statement saying they are deeply saddened and shocked to learn about the accident involving Porter and their thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Porter, his wife, Kathy, their-19 year-old son David and his friend, 18-year-old Courtney Ann Williams, who was also injured, were headed to the Peach Bowl on New Year’s Eve. Witnesses said the crash happened in an instant.

A spokesperson for the Georgia State Patrol said one of their own was trying to get to a police chase on Interstate 20 when he drove through the intersection of Memorial Drive and Capitol Avenue.

GSP said the trooper’s lights and sirens were warning those in his way, but witnesses said it wasn’t enough to avoid hitting the SUV driven by Porter, with his family inside. Some said they didn’t hear anything at all.

The truck slammed into a utility pole before coming to rest.

PREVIOUS STORY:

Jeff Porter was rushed to the hospital with his 19-year-old son, David Porter, and another passenger, but his wife, Kathy Porter, was killed.

A private visitation will be held Tuesday for Porter’s family and friends and a private funeral will be held on Wednesday.

The family is asking in lieu of flowers, to please request a memorial be made to Children’s Health Care of Atlanta or First Baptist Church of Loganville. Their addresses are as follows:

Children’s Health Care of Atlanta
1687 Tullie Circle NE
Atlanta, GA 30329

First Baptist Church of Loganville
680 Tom Brewer Road
Loganville, GA 30052

GSP said it is investigating whether Trooper First Class Donald Crozier, a 10-year veteran, was at fault for the crash.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/urkIDS ) reported that Porter, his wife and son and a friend were on their way to the Chick-fil-A-Bowl at the time, about 4:40 p.m. Saturday.

A witness, Steve Bouye, told the newspaper on Sunday he had just gotten off work from his job as a federal prison employee when he saw the trooper’s cruiser zoom past him on Saturday afternoon.

“As soon as I saw him go past I said ‘Man I hope he don’t hit nobody,’” Bouye said. “Seconds later I heard a big blast like a train crash.”

Bouye said he and Jeff Porter tried unsuccessfully to open Kathy Porter’s door as she faded in and out of consciousness after the collision.

State Patrol spokesman Gordy Wright said in an email statement late Saturday that the trooper was traveling with emergency lights and siren activated Saturday afternoon when the cruiser struck a Ford Expedition driven by Jeff Porter at the intersection of Memorial Drive and Capitol Avenue.

Wright said the trooper, who had been traveling westbound on Memorial Drive, was going to assist another trooper who was attempting to stop a motorcyclist on nearby Interstate 20, west of the Downtown Connector. Wright said that motorcyclist had failed to yield.

State police provided few new details Sunday, but Wright said in an email statement that the trooper “was not involved in a chase but going to assist another trooper.”

According to Wright, the Ford Expedition was traveling northbound on Capitol Avenue when it was struck on the passenger side. The statement said the SUV then struck a utility pole.

Kathy Porter, 54, of Loganville, a passenger in the SUV, died in the crash, Wright’s statement to The Associated Press said. It added that Jeff Porter and two other passengers in the SUV— the couple’s 19-year-old son David and a friend, Courtney Ann Williams, 18, of Grayson — were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment of injuries. All three were released later Saturday.

The Georgia State Patrol on Sunday night identified the officer as Trooper First Class Donald Crozier, a 10-year veteran.

He was examined at the same hospital and released. He has been placed on administrative leave as state police, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Fulton County District Attorney’s office investigate. Wright said the State Patrol’s Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team was dispatched to the crash scene to help determine the cause.

“Any personnel actions related to the crash will be based on the findings of the various investigations,” Wright wrote.

According to an MLB.com article posted on the Braves web site, former manager Bobby Cox, manager Fredi Gonzales and catcher Brian McCann went to the hospital to be with Jeff Porter after the accident. The article said Porter joined Atlanta’s training staff in 1985 and has been head trainer since 2003.

The wife of Atlanta Braves trainer Jeff Porter was killed Saturday when a Georgia State Patrol car crashed into their sport utility vehicle as the family headed to the Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office confirmed the death of Kathy Porter, 54, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Braves issued a statement expressing their condolences.

“The Braves family is deeply saddened and shocked to learn about the tragic accident today involving the family of head Athletic Trainer Jeff Porter and the death of his wife Kathy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jeff and Kathy’s family, their son David and all their friends and loved ones.”

The Porters and their 19-year-old son, David, were on their way to the game late Saturday afternoon. The patrol car was responding to a call for assistance on a chase at nearby I-20, according to Atlanta’s Channel 2 Action News.

At approximately 4:40 p.m., the patrol car struck the Porters’ Ford Expedition at Capitol Avenue and Memorial Drive, according to the newspaper.

The trooper who was driving the patrol car was treated and released at Grady Memorial Hospital, and his name was not revealed, the newspaper reported. Jeff Porter was driving the family’s vehicle, a police spokesperson told the paper.

A state patrol team in charge of investigating collisions examined the scene, according to the Journal-Constitution.

December 21, 2011 – 2:21pm

Instead, the battered sports franchise is taking on Burbank, Calif.-based The Walt Disney Co.

Disney/Pixar’s latest animated film, “Brave,” which centers on a flame-haired Scottish princess with a talent for archery, already is garnering publicity six months prior to its projected release. The Atlanta Braves reportedly filed a “formal objection” with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office after Disney’s most recent attempt to trademark various iterations of the title on Oct. 20.

The team has until Jan. 18, 2012, to file opposition papers with the Trademark Trial and Appeals board, according to reports.

Though the Atlanta National League Ball Club, which owns the Atlanta Braves, holds only the rights to the word “Braves,” it alleges the fans, media and others commonly use the word “Brave” to refer to a single player and “Braves” to refer to the entire team.

Its objection stems from the fear that Disney’s use of the singular form will lead to confusion and even damage due to the team’s use of “Brave” in its merchandising.

Another baseball franchise, the New York Mets, has amicably shared a variation of its name with two local institutions, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Opera House, both commonly referred to as “The Met.”

The Atlanta National League Ball Club and Disney Co. reportedly were in negotiations to settle the dispute.

The team claims that they’ve used the singular form of Braves on merchandise, and say that “Brave” is used when referring to a single player (as opposed to the whole team being the “Braves.”)

The Walt Disney Company and the Atlanta National League Ball Club are said to be currently involved in private negotiations.

The 3-D fantasy adventure movie – produced by Pixar and released by Disney – will hit theaters June 22. The kids flick follows a courageous girl from the Highlands of Scotland.

There is the quick update of the day.

I have to say this is a story I never thought I would write. An American baseball team is taking on Disney and a princess. Yes, you heard me right. Apparently the new Disney Pixar film titled “Brave” about a princess that overcomes obstacles is too much for the Atlantic Braves to handle.

According to reports, the Atlanta National League Baseball Club (the owners of the Atlanta Braves) filed objections to Disney Pixar’s trademark applications for the film. Trademarks are specific when it comes to singular and plural forms of words and the Braves have only trademarked the plural. However, they argue that they have used the singular, Brave, in many endorsements and merchandising.

As a baseball fan, I can’t ever recall the Braves being referred to in the singular and I think I am intelligent enough to not get a Disney princess confused with a baseball team. Maybe the Atlanta Braves don’t think their fans are that intelligent?

Now I could understand if the Disney movie was about baseball. Then maybe I would give them some points on their argument. But a princess? Really? They can’t really be concerned about that. Maybe they are just worried about being called princesses by the other teams in MLB.

Now, to take this idea one step further, let’s look at another example of the use of “Brave” in a popular song. How about the “Star Spangled Banner?” Now, if I remember correctly, this song ends with the line, “O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” America has always been known as the land of the free and the home of the brave.

So, according to the rationale behind the Atlanta Braves, this should either be changed because they hold the trademark, or America only exists in Atlanta? Oh no wait. This song was written before the Atlanta Braves even existed.

As a business owner, I understand the importance of trademarking but this is taking it to the extreme. Brave is a commonly used word in America to describe our soldiers, our police and our firefighters. It is a word that is not exclusive to a baseball team.

I have seen the movie trailer and I don’t see the title and immediately think of baseball, so I don’t think the Atlanta Braves have anything to worry about. Maybe they need to take their focus off of princesses and get their heads back into the game of baseball.

Well, it might be strike two on titling Pixar’s fairy tale film Brave (previously called The Bear and the Bow). It now sounds like the Atlanta Braves have a bone to pick with the upcoming animated feature.

According to Stitch Kingdom, the Atlanta National League Baseball Club, owners of the Braves, is now filing an objection to many of the film’s trademark applications. However, trademark disputes are always specific to singular and plural forms, and the Braves do not possess any trademarks for the word “Brave.” So, in theory, they aren’t really entitled to anything.

Nevertheless, the organization believes that damages will still occur since they have technically issued merchandise in the singular form and often use the word to describe their individual players. One out-of-print book in particular was found over at Stitch Kingdom called If I Were an Atlanta Brave, but no other discernible merchandise seems to exist in the singular form.

The Walt Disney Company and the Atlanta National League Ball Club are currently in private negotiations to settle any standing objections.

Running low on time today, i’ll be back tomorrow hopefully with some more news.
