The Group
|
Family and Graduate Housing residents
were among the 44,744 fans who journeyed to Turner Field as the Atlanta
Braves opened a homestand against the Philadelphia Phillies.
The July 26th bus trip was
co-sponsored with the Office of Student Activities. The group of
more than 20 residents and FGH staff got a bird's eye view of Turner Field as
they sat just above home plate.
An afternoon shower left the stadium
seats wet, but didn't stop the action on the diamond as the Braves fought
hard to avoid losing a game at home. After being down 3-0 for much of
the game, the Braves rallied late, but it was not enough to avoid a 3-2 loss
to the Phillies.
Despite the lost, the trip was a
unique opportunity for FGH residents to join other students at the University
and Braves fans in one of America's greatets pasttimes.
