Marketing/Broadcast Intern Added to Staff
The Braves would like to welcome Matt Tymann to the Braves staff for the summer. Matt is a graduate of Georgetown University and spent the past year as the sports director for Georgetown University radio.  He also hosted a sports talk show on the station for three years, and broadcast a variety of university sporting events over that time.  In the summers of 2005 and 2006, he worked for the Tri-City ValleyCats (short-season single-A Astros affiliate), updating at-bat stats, scrolling messages across the scoreboard, and acting as the backup stadium announcer.  Matt's career aspirations are primarily in broadcasting, but is excited to be working with a sports team in any capacity.
