You’ve seen him on Braves Twitter, and if you’re lucky, he’s re-tweeted or mentioned you. And if you’re really lucky, he’s followed you back. His name is @bravesowner, and he could be the greatest troll our generation has ever seen.
When it comes to Internet trolling, @bravesowner has no peers. And what makes him so lethal to his enemies is not just his quick wit, it’s his knowledge of the game. Want to try to tell @bravesowner that Folty isn’t good? You might want to have a good life insurance policy first.
Eric Cole, over at Talking Chop, probably said it best.
As for a NSFW follow, @enasti has no peers

@bravesowner has had so many moments of glory when it comes to taking his virtual enemies to the cleaners in front of everyone, but Opening Day 2017 might be his finest moment yet. You see, @bravesowner is known for his extreme trolling of Mets fans, and he happens to live in their own backyard.
He attended Opening Day at Citi Field, wearing what appeared to be a homemade shirt with photos of when Gold Glove center fielder Ender Inciarte robbed Yoenis Cespedes of a homer last season. Then he tweeted it straight at the Mets.
His Opening Day tweet soon went viral.
With a Sprite bottle filled with Tito’s vodka and no body guards, @bravesowner walked into Citi Field in pure day light. There hasn’t been any video footage of him inside the stadium, so military experts are still unsure how he managed to do what he did. West Point will be studying this maneuver for years to come.
At the end of the Braves’ unfortunate loss, instead of running and hiding, @bravesowner decided to re-tweet all of the haters. His reverse psychology method of trolling worked like a charm. Here’s some of the responses he got from Mets fans.

If there’s one thing Mets fans aren’t privy to, its the fact that trolls are impervious to trolling. While @bravesowner was receiving all kinds of threats, most of which aren’t family friendly and cannot be posted here, he reportedly got a direct message from Ender himself thanking him for his heroic service.
While we salute @bravesowner’s heroism on Opening Day 2017, let us take a stroll back to memory lane and cherish some of @bravesowners finest Mets trolling moments.

Next: It wasn't just the bullpen, y'all...
Thank you, @bravesowner, for giving us something to look forward to every day. And thank you, Ender Inciarte, for being the best center fielder in the game.
