Another Alabama baseball great died this week -- pitcher Don Sutton of Clio, AL (the same Barbour County home town as George Wallace)

Heard a segment yesterday on sports radio that mentioned the fact that lasat year MLB decided to include Negro League stats in the official record books. They were interviewing the curator of the Negro League museum. The talk was that if they can verify the stats for Aaron's year in that league, it would add something like 8 or 10 home runs to his all time number, putting him back on top. This I would like to see.

That’s something I’d like to see, too, then.

Alabama and Atlanta Braves have a special connection to each other (fans, players,etc.)
