Well-stated Alan and being there for the 2013 Wild Card game is a moment I will never forget. My father was with me that evening as well and we slapped high fives with everyone we could walking out after that game. To me, Sports and Music are a utopian world where it feels like age, race, and other things do not matter and shouldn’t matter! To me, Sports and Music represent a part of society we should all strive to emulate daily.
Now a close second was the clinching game of the 79 NLCS, also against the Reds. Crazy atmosphere for a 10 year old and loved every minute of that day
That's beyond cool -- especially since the Atlanta Braves were in the basement my whole early life, only to become a powerhouse after I left (Hank Aaron & Phil Niekro notwithstanding). Nonetheless, I was a fair-weather fan. But through today's siloed lens, I see the beauty, the community, the thrill of the challenge. (But jocks don't float my boat like, you guessed it, rockers do!) :)

That game was so f’in wild and fun.

And that’s what sports really should be. It should be a distraction, a meaningful distraction to the tough game of life.
