A quick story:
I was living in Winter Park Florida at that time. In the winter after that series on one evening I was standing in line at Blockbuster waiting to rent my video. I had on a Braves sweatshirt. In front of me on line was a tall thin guy with glasses. He turned around and I said to him "has anyone ever told you that you look like a pitcher for the Indians by the name of Orel Hershiser?" His response was "that's me". We spoke for a few minutes and he was a real gentleman. He was renting a house in Winter Park while his house at a private golfing community was being completed.

Me too. I went and suffered through the ATL world series games with the twins in '91. When I lived in Augusta during the Murphy, Hubbard, Ramirez, Perry, Horner years, we could get tickets for games at the 'old' stadium for $2. We used to go to Boca (coincidence) when they were training in West Palm Beach and go check that out too. These youthful dalliances created a painful fan experience
