Braves give Turner Field a rousing send-off in final game (The Associated Press)

ATLANTA (AP) -- Walter Banks posed for pictures, caught up with old friends and turned a bit wistful as he remembered all the good times as an Atlanta Braves usher.

It was time to say goodbye.

Again.

The Braves played their final game at Turner Field on Sunday, ending a run that lasted a mere 20 seasons. They'll be moving to a new stadium in the suburbs next season.

A sellout crowd of some 50,000 turned out for the occasion, while Banks manned his usual position in the box seats near the Atlanta dugout, not far from former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn.
