@SALES_720 @Mr704intheQC They averaged 13,500 (88% capacity) last year down 4% YOY. This expansion will increase seating capacity by 20% (15,300 to 18,100). They would need to average 16k to maintain an 88% capacity average. That is an 18% increase from last year. Win some games and it’s doable.

@Enterprise picked up a car today for a two day drive to move my daughter. Absolutely filthy. Is this acceptable?

@mlbbowman Contagious?

Kyle Busch’s passing last week from pneumonia leading to sepsis really hit home. Like Kyle, I thought whatever was making me feel poor would go away with time. I went from being in the gym on Friday morning to almost dead on Sunday morning.

Super Sky Point to Bob Horner. He was the NL Rookie of the Year and an All-Star but if you were around back then you know he was more than that. Much more. He was a fixture in the homes of millions of us through the miracle of cable television during those epic childhood summers that seemed like they’d never end.

I was a fan for over 40 years but had never met Bob until I interviewed him last December about Dale Murphy’s Hall of Fame case. As you’d expect, Bob was a fierce advocate for his fellow Fulton County basher. How could he not be? They were Murph and Horner. Horner and Murph. The Hall and Oates of the Launching Pad.

You know, these sky points all suck to write but this one hurts more than most. The four-homer game, the bad perm, Chief Noc-A-Homa waiting by his teepee for another Horner long ball. I have tweeted a lot about Bob Horner through the years and it’s because he represents to me, and I suspect many of you too, something far bigger than baseball: WTBS coming out of the magic box on top of my 400-pound Zenith, cool air coming through my bedroom window after another afternoon of Wiffle Ball, and Rick Mahler (probably) toeing the rubber at about 7:05 while hoping to keep the Braves in it with smoke and mirrors long enough for Horner and Murph to do some damage. And me sprawled out on green and yellow shag carpet in Kentucky paying 100 times more attention to Skip Caray, Ernie Johnson, and Pete Van Wieren than any of my teachers.

Farewell, you sweet slugging bastard. Tell St. Peter you brought your glove for the hot corner and to write you into the cleanup spot. #RIP

The ultimate Bob Horner moment as an Atlanta Brave

During the epic Braves/San Diego Padres brawl of 1984

Champ Summers ran to the dugout trying to get Pascual Perez

Well he met one Bob Horner (who was injured by the way) who would not let him pass

[Eric Edwards @ericfedwards]

Legendary Brave. RIP

@grantmcauley Even with a broken wrist he whipped Chump Summers in that 84 Padres brawl. Legendary player. Put him in the Braves HOF

@scottcoleman55 Murphy isn’t going to make or break this team or season. It’s not a big deal.

@ScoreboardRadio Half court no. Quarters, yes
