The only night that was different was Wednesday "Game of the Week" night. And even on those nights sometimes it was the Braves or Cubs!  |
I watch PTI on ESPN daily and they did a brief obit on him. I was not aware that when the Braves were struggling in the late 70's he actually put the manager on leave to become the manager himself! He only managed a single game before Chub Feeney, the National League President forbid it. Ted then appealed the decision to the commissioner where the decision was upheld. The video of him in uniform in the dugout during the game was priceless.
