4/30/90 Infamous incident immortalized in irreverent Tank McNamara comic is the first that comes to mind. I attended many IBM classes in the mid 80s to early 90s and my evenings were spent at Fulton County Stadium whenever the Braves were in town. One of the many games I saw was the night David Cone argued what should have been the third out to end the inning. Instead, time was not called and two Braves' runners continued rounding the bases and scored.

Another significant game was 9/11/91 when three Braves pitchers, Kent Merker, Mark Wholers and Alejandro Pena combined for a no hitter. Reading the game reports prove my memory isn't very good. I could have sworn that I heard during the game radio broadcast that Merker was pulled because of a pitch count limit after a recent injury. He pitched 6 innings.



My personal favorite involved the Braves again. This time it was just last year. It was not a win for them this time.
