I was keeping up with the baseball game last night, Clemson vs Georgia. I was pleasantly surprised when we pulled away with a nice victory. This game also brought back a great memory I wanted to share.
It was the spring of 1983. The Tigers headed out to Athens on the vans for a mid week showdown. Bob was still shining bright after a great football game against the Dogs earlier that Fall. We came away with a victory against them on the gridiron although it was a very close game.
I was left at Clemson, someone had to work, right? I didn't get to listen to the game but upon the return trip by the team, I heard the van drive up beside our apartment and a lot of celebrating was going on inside that van. We beat Georgia, can't remember the exact score, but I do remember it was something like 15-7. The guys were screaming for me to get ready, we were all going to Mac's Drive In for a late night dinner!
On the trip to Mac's Bullett informs me Bob was heckled pretty badly at Georgia, with the football thing, and I looked to see if Bob was upset, but he wasn't, in fact he was grinning from ear to ear!
Come to find out, my hubby, went 4 for 4 that day with 3 homeruns and a double that hit the top of the fence. He had 8 rbi's. He had two more at bats but they intentionally walked him for those two. He said every time the crowd would get on him, he'd just hit another homerun. Needless to say, things quieted down really quickly.
And that my friend, is why Georgia is on my mind....#great memories
