Steve from Whites Creek Journal writes of the time he saw Hank Aaron knock it out of the ballpark.

It was Nurses Day at Atlanta Stadium, and no, I’m not nor never have I been a nurse, but I’ve been fond of a few of them. I was sitting with a few of them on this particular day, about halfway up in the left field bleachers where they put nurses when they want to show them how much they are appreciated. We were in a group of about 20 people who I assumed were nurses or friends of nurses and we had, of course smuggled in several beverages to help make the day more pleasant. Outside of our group of twenty, there was nobody else around us, except for a group of what I would call bleacher rats down below us next to the fence.

John wrote of Barry Bonds hitting his 755th home run last night, tying Hammering Hank. The story is all over the Innertubes and television, but there are some that are honoring the man who did it first, and in their opinion, best.

Left Wing Cracker isn’t a Bonds fan either. Bill Young at KnoxViews also speaks fondly of Hank.

And, for Miss Sharon Cobb who is excited about her beloved Cubs.

And for those of you who don’t give a flip about baseball but enjoy the traditions and legends of the game, here is the infamous goat curse broken down.
