Henry Aaron and Other Saints
Greetings!
I have been a fan of the Atlanta Braves since the early 1970s. I grew up in Connecticut, but I cheered for Atlanta because they were usually in last place and I seem to have a thing for underdogs. (I’m a New York Jets fan too.)
Plus, I have always been a fan of Henry (Hank) Aaron, partly because my middle name is Henri. I became more of a fan as he neared Babe Ruth’s home run record and faced racist threats from many people.

I still have a book I bought in grade school, along with lots of old baseball cards.

When the Braves won the World Series on Tuesday night for the first time in 26 years, I was very happy. The Braves persevered this season, overcoming many challenges to win it all.
But my happiness is tinged with melancholy.

COVID Safety

Masks required for all people, regardless of vaccination status.
