I was there the night after the press box fire at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium in July of 1993. I was one day removed for what may have been the start of the greatest extended stretch run in major league history. Or don’t you think the Atlanta Braves going 51-17 over the final 68 regular-season games to overtake the San Francisco Giants by a single game that season was epic?
Trouble is, we may be watching such a run again. Except this time the Braves are the hunted instead of the hunter.
And the biggest series of the season begins tonight at Dodger Stadium against the team chasing them.
