Now what are we gonna do about the Braves??

Pray....and celebrate 10 glorious years.
I go back to the Atlanta Crackers playing at Ponce de Leon Park and went to the first ever Atlanta Braves game with my Dad on April 12, 1966.
Joe Torre hit a home run for the Bravos in a losing effort that went 12 innings and ruined Tony Cloninger's arm.
(yes....he went the distance IIRC, on opening night! My... how things have changed)

For 25 years I suffered the WORST team in baseball and use to envy the Red Sox (at least they were competetive and exciting each year)
and I vowed to never complain if they could just be in the hunt for the pennant come September.

But never in my wildest dreams did I think they would become a powerhouse team entertaining me each and every summer.

Go Braves!
