Jason Heyward’s batting practice drives are costing the Atlanta Braves — but body shops in Kissimmee, Fla., aren’t complaining. Heyward launched a shot over the right-field wall this week that smashed through the sun roof of assistant general manager Bruce Manno’s car. The bill was $3,400. Heyward has dented other vehicles too, so stadium workers are installing protective netting to safeguard the cars and any unsuspecting people walking around. “I guess they just figured it’s time to stop waiting around on that,” said Heyward, a 20-year-old outfielder and perhaps baseball’s top prospect.
