This event was the second of what may become an annual event - "Member Appreciation Day". Although the turnout this year was slightly larger than the last, there were still plenty of tickets available.
Michael Marcey, Braves 400 Club president, threw out the ceremonial first ball (a strike by many accounts). The staff at the Georgia Tech infirmary said there was no serious injury to the catchers glove hand. Tech won the game 8-1.
