Fireworks, Baseball Make Great Birthday for America

On a hot day in the middle of the summer, there is no better place to be than a major league ballpark with a group of old friends.A summer wouldn't be complete without a trip to Turner Field in Atlanta to see the Braves play.I went to the game last Thursday night when the Braves played against the Philadelphia Phillies.Going to a baseball game during the Fourth of July holiday weekend has been a tradition in my family for as long as I can remember.I have been a die-hard Philadelphia fan for my entire life, so going to this game was a no brainer.I'd have to say that this game was the best experience I've ever had at a baseball game.
