Grandpa and Swope and the Braves.

My grandpa watched the Braves and boxing. That led me to watch the braves and boxing. He lived with us and I would steal his cookies and quarters to go play street fighter II down at green hills. Those were good times. I really liked how he lived with us so the TV would be up loud as shit so I would be in bed and I would hear the monologue from The Tonight show. I remember Johnny Carson but I think when I was actually in the same room with my Grandpa it was the beginning of the Leno Era. Brian Swope also loved the Braves. Brian swope was a good baseball player. One time they had these try outs for Major Pony which was the best of the best and I think swope didn't have to do anything he just showed up and they were like "OH DISSS GUY IS GOOD" The point being is I really have a fond memory of the braves because they were so awful, but they were the only game on most of the time. Random memory alert..

Smithville Lake...in a camper...Royals playing the Cleveland indians and Gerrold Perry getting a hit for the Royals.
