I just happened to be off this past Thursday and the Braves just happened to be playing that night, so we decided we'd trek the 3 hour drive to and from Atlanta in one day for the sake of seeing one of their greats before retiring. The extra special part is that my dad and brother were able to make as well. My pops is the ultimate fan, the man truly loves the game of baseball and my brother grew up watching Chipper. I was partial to David Justice. Not sure why, I understand baseball- my brother played for 10+ years and I even played some softball for awhile- but I can't say I follow games, seasons, stats, RBIs and ERAs and all that ESPNsy stuff. It was a great game and I got to enjoy that experience with my dad and brother who love and appreciate all its' awesomeness. Here are a few pics, admittedly they aren't the best, I need to get a zoom lens for these type occasions.
So I got a fairly close close-up of the man himself, #10 Chipper Jones.
And here when we won!
I had to throw this one in. I'm a FreemanFan myself. He did hit the homer that put them in the playoffs! Annnnd THIS IS BRAVES COUNTRY. I wanted to put a big yellow arrow to the man in the center #5 Freddie Freeman and one to the title of this post itself, but adobe/photoshop savvy I am not...yet!
