I was there.

Also, Hank Aaron is in the same rehab facility as my Dad. There is no way that being in rehab can be considered cool, but this comes close.

At almost 14 years old but not having gone through my growth spurt yet, I still managed to come within an inch of hitting my head on the ceiling at my parents house in the living room. I can still see that room and everything in it, where the TV was and the furniture they had back then. It was one of those moments I will never forget. And the moment he started his swing, you knew it was gone. Just a great memory. Wish all the younger Braves fans could have experienced it.

I was probably the only Braves fan in New Jersey in 1974 and remember audio taping Hanks' at bats. I can still hear Curt Gowdy yelling " He did it! he did it! " One of my best baseball memories ever !
