The Right Stuff: part 3

 I'll be covering the "other magazines" tonight. Items like World Series programs and/or magazine publications. Only 5 scans total so this will be a very short post.



Talk about taking you back. The 80's (overall) were not good days for die-hard Braves fans. My mother and I had moved back to North Georgia in December 1976. Then in December (we always moved when I was on Christmas break at school) of 1981 we moved down to South Georgia. No longer able to go to Fulton County Stadium. Go figure the Braves won their division, lol. I was just 16 (just turned at that). My how things turn out. The following year I got married and was in boot camp at Fort Sill Oklahoma. 




Fast forward nearly a decade. This time I was in Florida and on wife #2. My first child was very much on the way. Christy was born in February of 1992.


 


Heartbreak, my Braves lost the World Series (the first of a few in the 90's). 



Of course, they did finally get it done in 1995 which is cool that this picture was mixed in the bin with all of those yearbooks and stuff. Yes the 90's had the Braves tagline of America's team. WTBS was the bomb for watching games....Times have changed.




If you're a Braves fan and obviously I am and have always been then this "stuff" is super cool to own. Glad I decided to flip through the bin tucked underneath the card bins. Looking forward to the last two posts from visit 3. 


Hope you enjoyed as much as I did going through this stuff.

  1. I miss the '80s and watching the Braves announcers bemoan their team on TBS :D

    Love team and postseason programs, specifically pre-'90s stuff.

  2. I'm sure you might expect I would like the results of the 1991 World Series. That and 1987 were best in my opinion. Cool publications no matter what. Nice finds! Enjoy the night all.

  3. That 95 team pic is iconic to me. I remember my friend Brian who was a huge Braves fan at the time bragging about them. He is now a Sox fan. I miss his braves days.

  4. I watched the Braves more than the A's or Giants... thanks to TBS. Definitely remember those 80's and 90's lineups. I was very happy they won in 1995. Maddux finally got a ring!

  5. The 1992 Braves' World Series loss was memorable for me for some reason...;) It was a close and enjoyable series
