The photos are from the end of the Atlanta Braves baseball seasons for 1990 and 1991. I have scanned them and uploaded them to my web site at: http://www.mcclary.net/nextyear.html I find these photos interesting as in 1990 there are maybe 15-20 fans turned out to see the Braves leave the field...One year later there were 750,000 fans who turned out after they lost in Game 7 in 11 innings by a score of 1-0 (poor Charlie Leibrandt that last pitch is all he will be remembered for)...their first ever trip to the World Series as the Atlanta Braves. Reminded me of some exciting times. Both photos were made while I was working for the now extinct Gwinnett Daily News. I think the 1991 photo was made with an R6 and 35 elmarit. The 1991 photo was made from the top of one of the downtown buildings and is looking north on Peachtree Road. If you are familiar with Atlanta you will recognize the local. Anyway just thought I would share these images. Best regards, Harrison McClary email: harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net preview my book: http://www.volmania.com
