As a scheduled part of their home opener, the Atlanta Braves set off fireworks before their game against the New York Mets on Tuesday. As an unscheduled part of their home opener, the fireworks set fire to the American flag that flies above the Braves Vision video screen in center field.
"It happened because of new pyrotechnics," Braves spokesperson Beth Marshall said. "For the first time, they put pyrotechnics on Braves Vision. One of the pyrotechnics flew at the flag and lit it on fire." Marshall added that the material of the flag is flame retardant, so it went out on its own.

"Accidentally"?
I guess, now that Ted and Jane aren't the owners anymore ...

Yes, Ted Turner and Jimmy Carter do frequently attend Braves home games. Maybe it was for them?

Braves' Hank Aaron says white Americans are racists, KKK members when they criticize Obama.
Shortly after that the Flag at the Atlanta Braves stadium is accidentally set on fire.
(I do not know but Aaron probably agrees with Winfrey that the cure for racism is for old white people to just die.)

They should have a Confederate Flag standing by in the wings, just in case.

Oops. Man, talk about bad juju for opening day. Yup. At the Angels' opener Don Baylor received the ceremonial first pitch, stood up, and broke his leg. The team got swept.
