WTF? Braves to hold January autograph session
Posted: Fri Jan 9, 2009 3:51 am
This event use to be free FOR THE FANS. It's slowly changed from free, to a $10 donation, and now I feel the ownership is really stretching it. I can't remember what the Georgia World Congress Center mess cost last year. I understand it's for the Braves Foundation, but still, I just feel these cost aren't necessary.
My rant stops now.
