The Braves used 7 pitcher so far. Aardsma, McKirahan, Brigham
and Vizcaino all used to pitch for the Cubs.

Worst of all, fan in first row muffs walk-off homer and ball
falls downstairs out of reach. Muff a walk-off. Ouch.
In 1964 or 1965, i'm sitting first row at Dodger Stadium
left-field pavillion/bleachers with my friend Mike. We were 13
or 14.
Hank Aaron hits long flyball coming right at me and Mike. It's a
homer!--clangs right off Mike's hands and falls down out of
reach, down the stairs to lower concession area. We both knew it
would haunt him rest of his life. "Hank Aaron, Hank Aaron!" He
said. Think of that every time see a fan muff a big homer.

Speaking of Hank Aaron, historic home run tonight!
Mike Hessman with homer #434---now the all-time career minor
league home run king.
Has 2,347 Ks too.
Congrats to Mike.
Amazing career. Check it out.

2006 definitely looked like a fun little season for him. Batted
.165 with 24 homers in 101 games. That's Mark McGwire
post-steroids-esque right there.

No, would never have you on ignore. Are you kidding?
Thought I would add some detail.
