Tommy Hanson of the Atlanta Braves (1986 – 2015)

Tommy Hanson died earlier this week at the age of 29. I saw him pitch in Yankee Stadium in 2012. The day was a historic one as nine home runs were hit, the most ever in a single game at new Yankee Stadium. Hanson got the win on that day, as most of the home runs were hit by the Braves. He threw five innings, giving up four, solo home runs. The Braves won 10-5.

My random, desktop image of the day is from our trip to New York a few summers ago. I tried to find out information on this sarcophagus online, and I hit the jackpot. Here it was before coming out of the ground over 110 years ago after laying there for 2,500 years!

This wasn’t the only near miss. Bourn caught a home run during this same game.

Today’s photo is part two of three. Part one can be found here. I’ll give you hint, on this day (6/20/12), the game between the New York Yankees and the Atlanta Braves tied the record for most homers in a game at (any) Yankee Stadium with nine.
