Omigosh there he is, Hank Aaron in 1974!

The Braves of the Seventies...terrible team but beloved by all in the southeast because we could watch every single game each season on Ted Turner's channel, even before there was cable. Uncle Jim took us to a game every summer in Atlanta. We rode from Clarkston to Fulton County Stadium in the bed of a pickup truck, screaming under bridges and lucky we didn't fly out onto the interstate. Without Hammerin' Hank the team was even worse, but no less beloved. Here it's "Ladies' Night" at the Braves game, August 28, 1978. Famous knuckleballer Phil Neikro and I pose for the Polaroid:
Now Phil is waiting for some more Ladies.
Most of the Ladies are old enough to be Bob Horner's mom:
Dale Murphy enjoys the Ladies:
Glenn Hubbard (?) does not appear to enjoy the Ladies:

Henry Aaron will always hold the record. He had so many death threats against him.
Barry Bonds will be in the record books with one of Kurt V's * next to his name.
(I once saw Mr. Vonnegut walking his 2 white poodles on 2nd Ave sometime in the mid 70's.
I had too much respect for him to bother him or disturb his world)
