Oct. 14—MARIETTA — You may know them as the Atlanta Braves. But north of Smyrna they ought to be called the "Marietta-Cobb Braves," Marietta Mayor Steve "Thunder" Tumlin said at a pep rally for the Braves Thursday evening.
About 200 Braves fans filled Marietta Square's Glover Park for the rally, by Tumlin's estimation. The event was Tumlin's idea, and he said it cost the city "less than $1,000."
The rally was held in support of the Braves' efforts in the five-game National League Championship Series against the Philadelphia Phillies.
