World Champion Atlanta Braves!

Twenty-six years ago I used this ticket to attend Game 6 of the World Series in Atlanta. That night in 1995 the Atlanta Braves won the World Series. It was such an exciting evening and one I still remember so well. My mom was a huge Braves fan and she had passed away the year before. I had a feeling all during that series as I watched that this was their year…and it was! And when the Braves won in that 6th game I felt like Mama was there in Atlanta with me. It was a wonderful feeling. And now, the Braves have done it again in six games. WooHoo! And what better year to win after the travesty of moving the All-Star Game out of Atlanta earlier this year….something that should have never happened. Go Braves! Your the best!!!!

If you aren’t watching baseball these days you are really missing out.

Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves, is the 13th field in the series of Major League Baseball parks that I have painted for the Kickstarter project.  The Braves are my team.  I grew up in Georgia and we were Braves fans.  We went to Florida for Spring Training to watch them each year.  We suffered when they had bad seasons and celebrated those good years.  And while I went to more games at Fulton County stadium than I have at the newer Turner Field I look forward to seeing more here.  It’s one of those really large stadiums that has the feel of a small baseball field.
