I used to say “I’ve been with the Braves thru thin and Tanner.” Lol

I remember when Craig McMurtry was gonna be the great savior. And I85 Pascual Perez. I had a baseball I got signed at Northgate Mall by Horner, Chambliss, Washington, Hubbard and Murphy.

Listened to the Cards sweep us on the radio in the NLCS because we didn’t have cable yet and couldn’t watch it. Cried my eyes out at the end of game four.

I too watched a ton of losses in person before I ever got to celebrate a win. Indeed there’s a huge bandwagon full of Braves fans. But I was there to charge them admission when they got on. lol

That baseball would be on a shrine in my house!!

Sadly, I have one lonely Dale Murphy baseball, that he signed ‘‘82, ‘83 NL MVP” for me.
Prized possession, right up there with my Doug Atkins auto.

What about the one you got at the Vols game?

I just saw that Joe Milton is now one of dem boys.
That is a Jerry Jones move if I’ve ever seen one.
He loves the cannon arms and 40 times.

I hope it works out for Milton, I would love to see him have a successful career.
Holding a clipboard for 8 years is a successful NFL career, imo.

Those are nice but they are in my boys collection.
He has a ton of baseballs hit by and auto’d by baseVols.

LSU and Oklahoma last night. Kade Anderson pitched LSU to a 2-0 win. Nine IP and 135 pitches thrown. Win at all costs? Where do they draw the line?

That look from "Just another Manic Monday" hooked me for life.

“I wish it were Sunday. ‘Cause that’s my fun day. My I don’t have to run day.” Classic lines.

I had a motorcycle once. Fastes I got to was 100 mph. These insane dudes pushing 175 +.

Not even a good AI video lol.

I've done 182 on a bike (back when I was young and stupid).

Bringing back my childhood memories. When I was a kid and both my parents worked, my grandpa would pick me up from school and we’d go back to his house and watch the Cubs play in the afternoon and then I’d go home and watch the Braves. I always joked that I never made it to pro ball because I watched so much bad baseball growing up. I’ve never figured out how in the blue blazes Chuck Tanner was a major league manager.

Chuck Tanner was the Manager of the 1979 World Series Champions Pittsburgh Pirates.

GM for the win.

Pretty sure I could have managed the 79 Pirates to the pennant.

I know and could not understand how that happened either until you I realized they had Blylevin, Stargell, Parker, Garner, Ellis and others.

When the baseVols break the grand slam record this year, that Hunter Ensley, 1st slam of the year, autographed ball is going to be a cool piece.

Good point.

Yea, it's such a easy job...

If Brian Snitker can do it...
Don’t believe me, just ask VP.

y’all are disrespecting managers.

Look at a&m, World Series last year preseason number 1 this year, stacked lineup.


Biggest difference, manager.

52 will prolly crucify me for this, but I put some of it simply on being in the SEC.
This conference is tough and will chew your ass up.
One sweep and you can find yourself in a hole real quick.
And with the number of good teams in this league, that is a real possibility on any given weekend.

Sure, but they had a stretch in which they were 1-5 against Cal Poly, Texas State, Arizona, Oklahoma St, Rice, and UT-San Antonio

That’s true. But…..

Ms St and Ole Miss both won natties and didn’t make the playoffs the next year with the same manager.

Nah, I agree about the Baseball being a rough row to hoe... Basketball this season was a first let's see how it goes in the future.
