Me too. We and some friends took our kids to the July 4th game back in the 80s to see the game, the fireworks afterward, and the Beach Boys. We finally left to drive back to Huntsville about 1 or 2 in the morning and I think it was in the 12th or 13th inning. Listened to the game on the way home, and it was still not over when we got here. I think it lasted something like 24 or 25 innings, the sun was coming up, and they had to cancel the fireworks, and I'm pretty sure the concert was canceled too. I think that was the longest game in MLB history.
In my very first MLB game, I saw SF play the Braves in Atlanta. Got to see both Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. I was a co-op student at the time.

19 innings. The fireworks actually went off as scheduled afterward, though.

17 wins.
Ok, it'll be more than that. But it's going to be a long season. G-Braves should be good.

Braves have an Internet gif sensation though. John Gant and his windup have gone viral.

17 seems like a fitting number for what the Braves are going to put on the field this year. I am surprised they are competitive so far. I am sure by the Allstar break they will be in great form to lose most of them in the back half.
