One of my favorite players growing up was Ron Gant. He was a staple on the early 90′s Braves teams and I really loved watching him play. He is now doing some broadcast work for the Braves pre and post-game television shows, and if you get there at the right time you can catch him entering through the Turner Field press gate next to the player’s parking lot. I was able to do just that one recent Sunday and was able to get him to sign a SI Cover 8×10 that I had. It was pretty cool, because I was able to tell him what a big fan of his I was and he kind of stopped for a second, looked me in the eye, and said “Thanks man!” Thank you Ron.
