Braves 5, Exorcised Rays 2

Wednesday following a win… almost anything could happen…. Though imagine the pressure on me if yesterday had yielded a four game losing streak.

The 35th game in 1966 found the Braves at 15-19 and 8 games out of first, ie pretty much where most of us thought the Braves would be about this time this year instead of where they are. The Braves went into Forbes Field and beat the Pirates 4-2 before 7,642 paying spectators. Ken Johnson threw a complete game. Forbes Field was easily the most interesting NL park of my youth.
