In the 80's I lived in Savannah, Georgia I went almost weekly to a Savannah Braves game, the seats were cheap and the beer was cheap. Once at a game about '84 there was maybe 500 people in the stands that held about 5,000, so everyone was sitting far apart. I was about ten rows up from the dugout and about 5 rows in front of me was Hank Aaron for the whole game. He was involved with the Braves minor league players. I didn't bother him and didn't ask for an autograph, I got past those days. It was interesting sitting there watching him watch the game for 9 innings.
