Braves have a top 3 catcher, top 2 CF, top 2 1B, top 2 2B, the best 3B, and the best RF, not to mention 2 top end of the rotation pitchers. Braves have the most balanced team overall but the Dodgers have 3 MVP players to go along with great pitching. I just don’t see how the Dodgers are not the team with the best record at the end of the season and they should challenge for the single season win record. In a normal year the Braves would have far and away the best roster but the Dodgers have negated that due to buying every top player available. Max Fried will be a Dodger come this time next year also. It will be the most stacked team in the league for several years to come. Really is a shame MLB doesn’t have a salary cap.

Ironically, the spouse and I were headed to the Vol baseball game yesterday and we were right behind the Aggie basketball bus turning left from Neyland onto Fort Loudoun. An immediate right turn by the bus into Pratt Pavilion lot was required, which was a mess. I honestly halfway expected to see Buzz Williams hopping off the bus in the middle of the road trying to direct traffic, or call a timeout.

Memorial Stadium

Years: 1954-1991

Location: 33rd St. and Ellerslie Ave.

Capacity: Maximum seating capacity for baseball was 54,000, after extensions were made to the upper deck.

Opened in 1950 as a stadium for football and Minor League Baseball. The inscription on the Memorial wall read: "Dedicated as a memorial to all who so valiantly fought in the world wars with eternal gratitude to those who made the supreme sacrifice to preserve equality and freedom throughout the world -- time will not dim the glory of their deeds."

The horseshoe shape looks like it was primarily intended for the Baltimore Colts.

Watching an old B&W Daniel Boone episode where he's surrounded by Cherokee indians trying to fight his way free. The Chief walks up to him after a fight w/about 20 brave idians & speaks to Boone 🤣 w/better English than an English scholar.

Hey brother, I can’t help you on tickets but I know a guy that likes to help a Vol fan out. (Those dates would be 28-31?)with a free place to stay.

Edit: lol, that sounded a little shady. My wife and I operate an Airbnb and the vast majority of guests have a connection to UT one way or another.

You guys are INCREDIBLE!

I wish you could have seen the look on my bride's face when I told her what our plans are for that weekend! She wanted to know how I'd pulled this off, and I told her I'd asked on the message board I'm always on during the games. She was amazed at you guys, but, as I have told her time and again, Tennessee fans are the best, and the best of the best hang out on the Volnation Baseball Forum!

I will reach out soon to you all to work things out, but I wanted to post before the game to let you guys know I am humbled and appreciative. It is great to be a Tennessee Volunteer!
