Phil Niekro passed away today
he pitched the first Braves game I ever attended in 1972
Braves won in bottom of 9th on a Darrell Evans HR. Great day for a 9 year old. I remember yelling “home run” when he came up to bat that inning
I have a pic of the box score but am too dumb to post it. Here is the link to it:
