00:00Dad was a diehard Atlanta Braves fan and Georgia Bulldogs fan.

00:04I remember going to some Braves games with him at Fulton County Stadium.

00:08He would always park in this older gentleman's driveway and maybe pay him a few dollars.

00:12We would walk through the tunnel and buy a bag of boiled peanuts from the same elderly street vendor.

00:17The peanut man would always say,

00:18Hello, Mr. Pete.

00:20I was young and I asked Dad how he always remembered his name.

01:24That's good, Dad.

01:26That's really good.

01:31Dad, we just gotta get through tomorrow.
