THREE RANDOM THINGS

1️⃣ The Win Column officially has a secondary, non-U.S.A. rooting interest for next summer’s World Cup, y’all: Curacao. The island that gave the Braves future Hall of Famer Andruw Jones, Ozzie Albies and several other stars just became the smallest country to ever qualify for the world’s biggest soccer tourney.

2️⃣ Reporter Alexis Stevens recently caught up with Nigel Talton, the Braves’ original fan-racing phenomenon. They call him Coach Freeze these days.

3️⃣ Got friends coming in town for a game? Hotel Phoenix — that shiny new building on the fringe of Centennial Yards, across the street from State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium — is set to finally open next month.
