LAST DAY !
Moved here in 1960 when I was 2. A lot of great memories. Reminds me of Johnny Carson’s last show where the final guest Bette sings One for my baby and one more for the road. Here’s to the road ahead! Not good at goodbye so I will say So Long and thanks for the ride!

We are saddened by the passing of former Braves third baseman Bob Horner.
The first overall pick in the 1978 MLB Draft, Horner made the jump straight to the Majors without playing a single day in the Minors.
Just ten days after being drafted, Horner made his MLB debut and homered off future Hall of Famer Bert Blyleven. Horner went on to blast 23 home runs in just 89 games and won NL Rookie of the Year honors.
He went on to top the 30-homer mark three times in the next four years and was a National League All-Star in 1982, when he helped lead the Atlanta Braves to a division title.
Horner spent 9 of his 10 Major League seasons with the Braves. He made history on July 6, 1986 when he slugged a record-tying 4 home runs in one game. It was the only four-homer game of the 1980s.
Horner completed his college career at Arizona State with the most home runs in NCAA history, a mark since broken. He was named MVP of the 1977 College World Series and was the very first winner of the prestigious Golden Spikes Award in 1978.
He was 68 years old.
Look what we got here... it's a box from southwest Virginia!
The Emory & Henry Wasps invented one of the COOLEST shifts in football... even Steve Spurrier used it!
Thank you Coach Hunter and @EmoryHenry_FB for this great box, STINGERS UP!
Clemson gifted the Army baseball team an American flag made out of bats that reads:
“To Army Baseball, As the future leaders, warriors, and protectors of our great country, it is an honor to compete against you this weekend. Thank you for making the USA the greatest country in the world! God bless, Clemson Baseball.”
It just means more! 🇺🇸
