Atlanta Braves

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love the Braves. From their first World Series appearance in '91 against the Twins to their latest quest to return to the postseason, I've watched them on TBS and any other place they'll show them. My friends say I just jumped on the bandwagon because they're good, but when a team goes from worst to first, like they did in '91, then maintains a postseason run longer than any professional sports franchise in North America, they've got to catch your eye sooner or later!!!

I was quite excited to be able to go to Atlanta after my high school graduation in '98 to visit my brother Paulie and see them play at Turner Field (I still think they should've named it Hank Aaron Stadium, but that's just my opinion). I still have the ticket stub as a keepsake, as they battled back in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Red Sox 7-6. I even got on the Jumbotron out in center field! As you can see here, I was ecstatic (and without a voice) when the game was over.
