"And down the stretch he comes," Atlanta Braves announcer Skip Carey famously cheered as first baseman Sid Bream rumbled toward home plate and beat Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Barry Bonds' throw to win Game 7 of the 1992 National League Championship Series.
While there is no World Series at stake. the Mississippi Braves started its final stretch run Tuesday what could be their last home stand in the history of the team at Trustmark Park in Pearl.
After 20 years, the team, which is owned by Diamond Baseball Holdings, is moving to Columbus, Georgia and the Braves' lease at 8,480-seat Trustmark Park is up at the end of this season, which comes to a close Sept.
