Things I'm happy about today

[NorCalVol67]

Dale Murphy is what got me hooked on the braves as a kid.

Was a Dale Murphy fan, Bob Horner from back then also.

 

[NorCalVol67]

I think it was my Freshman year on the Hill, we drove to ATL for a game. I counted the number of fans in the stands, it wasn't many.

 

[VolNExile]

It's a good rivalry. I get piled on here sometimes, but I've got Exie to fall back on. I do remember in the early nineties when everyone went batcrap crazy over the Braves around here and I got to say "about time you all found a team, you friggin' posers." I was about 10 at the time, lol

My oldest was born in 1983. We used to park him in his playpen in the living room as an infant, and DXH (Dear Ex Husband) would watch the Braves there, screaming at the TV. I told him that our son’s first word would wind up being the F-bomb, which it pretty nearly was.

That's really cool. The Sox fought for my fandom back then. In fact, the first Sox game I watched in its entirety, Wilson Alvarez threw a no-hitter.

That's fair. He was a great ballplayer, no doubt.

I guess I forgot to tell ORB how good baseball can be for the juvenile vocabulary

 

[ArdentVol]

That is the main reason I hate the Braves. The Cardinals always had a big following in Memphis, then the Braves go from worst to first and everyone jumped on the bandwagon.

problem with braves is that alabama A on their capand a
and that i have livded too long in brave territory
that the little caray aggravates the hell outa me
and that cards were my first love
saw a lot of braves games between 1968 and 1972. lotta classmates from atlanta and we often get outfield seats in bleacher to cheer riico carty,

favorite brave is smoltz

I saw like 6 games in 1969 at Wrigley including the Ken Holtzman no hitter and having seats once behind the Pirates dugout - Roberto Clemente was larger than life to me

Hero is way overused. Clemente was a hero.

Waited table of ChiiSox official that summer of 69 at Holland mich resort and he had highest regard for clemente .... had his table every mornin and night for a week....very sharp baseball guy and generous when he left a tip

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

That's fair. He was a great ballplayer, no doubt.

Murphy was arguably the best player in baseball from 1980 -1987. Shocked he didnt receive more HOF love.
