I am a Braves fan, though, and I'm not ashamed of them. I think, with what they had to work with, they had a very good season. They had lots of injuries, lots of youngsters, but they also had heart. You can think what you want, but the Braves had a good season despite what some perceive as "choking" in the NLDS.
Giants showed a lot of class last night. While they were celebrating their win on the field, the Braves fans called for Bobby to make a curtain call. He did. The Giants stopped their celebration in order to applaud Bobby on his history-making career. A very classy and respectful gesture on their part.
The Phillies, too, showed a lot of class and respect for Bobby during the last regular season series they played with the Braves. During Bobby's ceremony on Saturday, the Phillies lined the rail in their dugout to watch and listen as Bobby's career was being highlighted. They came onto the field to give Bobby a standing ovation. Honestly, I didn't expect that from them.
So, go Giants and Phillies. May the better team win.
And so long, Bobby. Thanks for a wonderful ride. We'll see you in the Hall of Fame.
