Any regular listener of MBSing (or friend of mine) knows how much I love the Atlanta Braves, and a vast majority of that love is due to my father and my brother. I had the opportunity to sit down with them to chat about our mutual love for the Bravos and how it has flourished over the years. Eyes got teary, metrics got sabered, and fun was had. My dad, Chris, gets into how his love of the Atlanta Braves has existed ever since the team was the Atlanta Braves. Civil rights becomes an interesting aspect of the conversation, he tells us we should all watch 42, and I learn exactly what his relationship was with Hank Aaron's sons (?!??!). My brother, Nathan, gets into how many Braves blogs he reads on a daily basis and what time he goes to Twitter to refresh feeds in order to know what the day's line up will be. It's all a total, unbiased(?) delight.
Notes:
My parents drove 5 hours to Atlanta to see a Braves game and get one of these for my birthday (and one for my brother) two years ago.
