Braves Game

On Monday I went with Scott, his parents, and Seth to the Braves game. It was Army night there, so there were some special events throughout the game. Meanwhile, I was holding my own as Scott's family is a bunch of die hard Cubs fans, and Seth was too tired to cheer when the Braves did something good.


Before the game, there were some parachuters...I don't know their official name from the army airborne division. It was certainly a good recruiting tool for those people who are considering what to do with the rest of their lives!
After they landed, there was a fly over by 3 helicopters. I don't know what kind, maybe Josh can help me out with this.

Braves won in the end, possibly because the cubs were using their bullpen for the whole night after their starter got ejected in the first inning for hitting our batter when both teams came out to fight!

I love it when a good baseball fight breaks out. It's especially fun when a batter on one team gets hit then the next half inning a batter on the other team gets "accidentally" hit. Everybody knows what's coming next!

The parachuting team is the Golden Knights, they are part of the 82nd Airborne based at Ft. Bragg. I parked next to their plane on my solo cross country to Panama City.

The helos are UH-60 Blackhawks. The Navy flies 60s too but they are called Seahawks and the tail wheel is only about halfway down the tailboom to help the crews move the helo around the deck.

Your pics look a little hazy, maybe it's time to clean your lens?
