I have only been to one major league baseball game in my life, I know
it's sad. I went to see the Braves play in Montreal on May 23rd, 1992
for a school trip which also was just the day before my 17th birthday.
I believe that Tom pitched the night before so unfortunately I didn't
get to see him then it would have been nice pre-birthday present. The
Braves unfortunately lost that game. One highlight was that Gary
Carter played in that game and it felt like it was a big deal when he
came up to bat since I think that was his last season, although I might
be wrong. The closest that I was to seeing Tom before the game was he
was in the middle of the field. At the time I was standing on the 3rd
base side at the Olympic Stadium as my friends were trying to take
pictures of whoever they could as I did not have my own camera at the
time. It was a nice day even though the Braves lost. I know that when
I do finally get to see Tom pitch in person that it will be another day
to remember.
