I had a great aunt who absolutely loved Willie Mays. Every time I see his picture it makes me think of her and smile.

Again today nothing annoys me more than my grown children saying this isn't the 70's and 80's dad..Like I don't know what year it is the Dementia hasnt hit me yet!

Were they alive to experience the 70's or 80's? If not, tell them to stick to subjects they know.

The Braves have been and are a regional team since coming to Atlanta in the 60’s . Most southern states didn’t have professional sports teams at the time. So from the Carolinas to Louisiana southern Kentucky and south of that is Braves country. The Braves are the only team that galvanizes the southeastern United States.The fall has always been a funny time of the year to me . We all hate the sec teams we are playing against in football that week but both sides are cheering for the Braves.

I was surprised to learn the Braves are the "home team" even in Charlotte when I moved there. It makes sense geographically but still seemed odd for Charlotte to root for an Atlanta team!

I got a Hank Aaron card as a prize from a chewing gum machine. Put in $.25 and got a piece of gum and a card. Usually just bad cards. It was at a baseball card shop in the 80's. The guy who owned the shop must've accidentally filled it with the Aaron card. He saw that I won it and desperately tried to buy it back, .
I've still get it here somewhere, my luck its been eaten by pack rats. . . anyway, it's worth about $350 now I think. It was worth about $80-$125 back then.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Anyone else puter on VN doing an occasional auto refresh by itself?

No, but my autocorrect is still going whacky. It autocorrects stuff like my to "may", reason to "read on", pack to "park". . . the worst is when it corrects on to "in", as to "at", etc. Dont know why I still have at turned in.

Doc thinks about me naked.

You being naked or while he’s naked?

Hindsight is obviously 20/20…..but I wish I had taken better care of my old cards…..

For example…..I have 4 Ricky Henderson RCs

Mint condition-$129,000

One of them is a PSA 8……$250

The Braves have benefited for years by being a regional franchise. Basically they were and are the only show in town during the summer with no football going on. You also had Ted Turner and the birth of the TbS superstation that broadcasted every Braves game all over the south for years. Generation after generation of fans in the south grew up watching and becoming Braves fans. The Braves now are truly a national team. They draw huge crowds even playing on the road.

 

[SmokinBob]

Rewatching the bammer game for the first time and I am just still in shock we were able to win that game. 21 seconds bammer looks like they have an easy FG to win it and you blink and we are kicking the game winner on the other side........still just in awe.

I watched the replay and saw what you saw but, ya know, at that game, in the stands, I never for one second thought they were going to win and I don’t think anyone around me did either. It was like we all knew our Vols could pull it out…and when they did - so much joy…

MLB forced that narrative. Its no longer a blue collar sport.

Absolutely. Growing up about 30 minutes from the GA state line in East TN, it was odd to me to find out there were people who weren’t Braves fans.

Pecans. Pee-cans or P’-cons?
