My Favorite And Least Favorite Memories At Turner Field

Farewell to humid summer nights at the Ted.

My Favorite And Least Favorite Memories At Turner Field
Wikipedia

I never realized it was possible to be emotionally attached to a building. That was until I started walking out of Turner Field after the last Braves game ever played there. I started to recount the memories that I had at the field, and some of the memories over the past couple of years that really stuck out in my head. In honor of the end of the Turner Field era, here is my favorite and least favorite memories I have had at the Ted.

Most Favorite Memory:

One of my favorite memories of Turner Field involves Brooks Conrad. Now I know what you’re thinking: Why him? Usually Braves fans cringe at the sound of his name because of his consistency to make errors in the playoffs. However, not this time. On a hot Sunday afternoon in 2010, the Braves were down 9-3 going into the bottom of the 9th inning. However, the Braves scored three runs, and then Brooks Conrad came into pinch hit. Here is what happened:

In one of the most emotional years in the history that marked the end of Booby Cox and Chipper Jones’ career, that had to be one of my most favorite moments at the Ted ever.

Least Favorite Memory:

It’s hard to think of a time in my years of a Braves Fan that I absolutely hated. Except for this moment. It was one of the few years that I felt like we had a chance to actually do something in the playoffs, but to have an entire season wiped out by a bad call greatly upset me.

I remember watching this game and thinking that it could be a microcosm of the entire season. We weren’t the best team in the league, but somehow, we figured out how to win even when were down. Our comeback started and ended with this single play.

Error with the bases loaded, or an infield fly? You be the judge.


Although the Braves’ tenure at the Ted may be over, I am looking forward to many hopefully exciting years at SunTrust Park.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
