My first game was the second game of the Braves 1991 season. We walked up and got field level seats behind home plate. I have ticket stubs I can get out, but don't recall much of anything memorable. I was at the game after Johnny Estrada got trucked, forcing Atlanta to call up Brian McCann. Saw replacement players in a 1995 spring training game. Also the same game I got autographs of Herb Score and Bob Feller. I cover prep games these days and see a whole lot of weird stuff. - A top of the 7th where all three out were recorded at third base. - A player gets hit on the rear end for a walk-off win. - No-hitter when even the coaches weren't aware. - Multiple run-scoring strikeouts. - A team whose win was vacated because they were raided by the Department of Homeland Security the next week.

IcePhoenix posted:I hadn't seen it until just now and holy poo poo. I almost felt bad for Lonnie about 1991 until Jon Bois showed that slow motion replay where he clearly turns to look at Knobloch while JB continues to deny that he did. I'm still too pained by that Series to watch after game five. I hadn't seen the Lonnie Smith piece until today and I still couldn't watch that portion. As far as I'm concerned, the real enemy is Kent Hrbek.

Luke Maile is hitting .030 for the season. How is that even possible?

The Larry Dierker story Bouton goes to the Astros stands out. I have a copy of the book on my shelf and need to reread it. The sports book thread always fizzles out quickly, but it's a joy for the week or so anyone cares.

James Loney has asked for and has been granted his release by the Braves. I guess when you realize you've been upstaged by Matt Adams, it's time to move on.

The Gwinnett Braves are looking for a new mascot in 2018. Because I have no originality, I've submitted Teamy McTeamfaces.

I don't have any wearable gear, but do have some merchandise from seeing a young Vlad Guerrero mash a baseball.
