Rating the Dawgs for 2008

Love any old stories, keep um coming Buc.

Hey BUC, I'm from Demorest GA. I knew Johnny a little bit, would see him at the Post office about everyday during the summer. He was also a HUGE help with our Boy Scout troop. Great guy. Every year for the 4th of July parade, he would sign baseballs and throw them out to all the kids at the parade. I still have one and have it on my mantle in a stand for safe keeping. Really neat that you are a relative.

dapolla, wlayton, EricB, thought you guys might like to see the baseball that I have that goes back to the beginning of the Braves in Atlanta. Scanned the baseball, so what you see is just a few of the signatures on the ball. Go Dawgs, Braves.






If you right click on the photo, then click on view image, you can blow the signatures up, get a closer look. Hope that I am not boring you folks, just feel that it is a part of sports history. Without some of the chemicals that are being used by some.

EricB, I am going to assume that you are a UGA fan. Can't go wrong with the Dawgs, Braves and the \"Big Cat\". Hope that you will be around here for some of the back and forth. Real good group here, very knowledgeable, die hard Red and Black folks. Haven't seen you up here before, welcome aboard. Go Dawgs!

Little after thought, a lot of my family are from North Georgia. Ellijay, Cornelia and all parts that the bus stops.

That's awesome Buc, thanks for sharing it with us. Wow, what great names on that baseball and very ledgible too. Keep that ball and don't ever sell it.....a one of a kind.

Don't ya just love this forum.
