Another day, another long drive. Hard to imagine that at this time last week the Tour was in Lakewood, New Jersey and now the Tour has brought us to Pearl, Mississippi. Holy smokes is it hot in Pearl. How hot exactly? The starting game time temperature on the scoreboard read 105 degrees. They say it’s not so much the heat as it is the humidity. The Braves had a good first half of the season, but like all good teams they lost 13 of their 22 or so starters, as they all got called up to the next level of the Minors. It would then be no shock to hear that the current Braves team in Pearl is doing quite poorly, losing almost all of their last 16 or so games. Ouch. Tonight was no different, as the visiting team jumped out to an early lead and didn’t look back. The picture above is our raffle winner Daniel, who just recently lost his mom to cancer and used the $5 he got from working for his brother to buy some raffle tickets. With a little bit of luck, one of Daniel’s tickets was pulled at the end of the night so he got to take home an autographed Braves bat, signed by the whole team. Thanks Daniel, and I hope you enjoy your new bat.
