I was six years old at the time and an avid Atlanta Braves fan. Our family always focused on living the 10 Commandments, but Granny had an 11th commandment:
"Thou shalt not root against the Braves."
You never rooted against Granny's Braves, especially in her presence. If you did, you suffered the consequences.
I can remember one day sitting on my grandfather's knee watching a game and he asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
