158,048!



That's the number of people and dogs that attended the three game
series at Turner Field this weekend to see the Braves clinch a playoff
spot. This set an attendance record for a three game series in
Atlanta.Not everyone had seats as standing room was sold. The Braves
open up the first round of their playoffs in San Francisco on
Thursday. This would make a good side trip from Vegas. Of course the
Braves will sweep the series.Ronald Emerson. Is it June 2011 yet?
