Atlanta Braves pitcher gets Tattooed at All or Nothing (Peter Moylan)

Peter Moylan stands next to his locker in the Atlanta Braves clubhouse, going over an inventory of tattoos running the length of each arm.

His oldest daughter's name, Montana, is inked along the inside of the right arm. His younger girl, Matisse, takes up the same spot on the left arm.

What's that near his right wrist? "A cherry blossom," Moylan replies in his distinctive Australian accent. "It's supposed to represent birth. That's why I got that one with my oldest daughter."

There are waves - commemorating an Aussie's innate love of the sea - not to mention a half-dozen stars on his upper back, drawn out in the same pattern as the flag of his homeland. He pulls up a sleeve to reveal his latest masterpiece, a Koi fish, which is supposed to represent strength in Japanese culture.

"I can't go a week without thinking what I'm going to get for my next one," Moylan said.

Remember Charlie's Sheen character in the movie "Major League"? Well, the Braves have their own version of Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn coming out of the bullpen.

The 29-year-old Moylan was downright unhittable at times in his first full big league season, going 5-3 with a 1.80 ERA and giving up just 65 hits in 90 innings. This year, he's expected to serve in the main setup role for closer Rafael Soriano.

"He's really a good one," Braves manager Bobby Cox said. "We can use him to get out of jams in the fifth and sixth, or we can pitch him in the eighth. I'd have no trouble pitching him in the ninth. It's great to have guys like that. He had a sensational year. He's going to follow it up, too. He's looked great down here."
