1966: Major League Baseball comes to Dixie as the Atlanta Braves host the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first game at Fulton County Stadium. The Braves are making their second move, having moved from Boston to Milwaukee in 1953. Starting the day with a parade, the Braves play 13 innings, before Willie Stargell delivers a two run homer off Tony Cloninger who goes the distance, with the Pirates winning the game 3-2.
