I hope I still have this SI, but I do have fond memories. I was there (NO BS!).
It was my first day on the Braves beat for an Alabama paper. My boss was there to do the heavy lifting, while I wrote sidebar after interview w/ Tom House -- the Brave lefty who caught the shot in the bullpen. I remained in Atlanta for rest of the series and the following one.. Great regret was that I failed to savor or take advantage of my period covering Braves, I was in my early 20s. Enough said
Wow, quite a first day on the job, awesome!!! The pitcher who gave up #715 (Al Downing) was the uncle of a close childhood friend of mine.
