Love this tribute to Tom Petty and agree with the great first lines!!! Also loved the Phillies reverie... I spent the summer in Atlanta going to Braves games and reconnected with my lifelong love of baseball. Saw the Phillies play the Braves in the first post season game. Great team! Great baseball.

Thanks so much, Marie! I’m so curious — what prompted you to go to Braves games this summer? I love that you’ve reconnected with baseball ⚾️⚾️⚾️

Our next door neighbors had season tickets right behind the dug out. They were generous enough to take us to many games. I grew up loving baseball ⚾️... family ardent Yankee fans. As am I. But being back in the stadium after so many years excited me again. I screamed, yelled at the batters and pitchers like I was 12 years old again. The Braves have great fans, so every game was exciting. It was very freeing for me to be that uninhibited again. And the hot dogs and tater tots were great!!

Love this and love the Dames! Baseball has us saved from and caused so many visits to the gates of hell. And Tom Petty always follows me around through store muzak. You don't think so? Well, I won't back down. And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down, gonna stand my ground and I won't back down.
