Talk » multimillion-dollar verdict over his treatm

ATLANTA -- Walter Banks posed for pictures, caught up with old friends and turned a bit wistful as he remembered all the good times as an Atlanta Braves usher.It was time to say goodbye.Again.The Braves played their final game at Turner Field on Sunday, ending a run that lasted a mere 20 seasons with a 1-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers.?Theyll be moving to a new stadium in the suburbs next season.A sellout crowd of some 50,000 turned out for the occasion, while Banks manned his usual position in the box seats near the Atlanta dugout, not far from former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn.Banks was wearing a Braves jersey with No. 51 on the back, marking his seasons of service with the team going back to its move from Milwaukee in 1966.You save the best to the last, he said. No matter if they win, lose or draw, youll always remember this day.Banks spent 31 seasons working as a Braves usher at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium -- though, he was quick to point out, it was actually 32 since he started in 1965 when the Triple-A Crackers called it home while the Braves spent a lame-duck season in Wisconsin.Ive met so many people, so many friends, he said. A lot of people, I wont get to get see anymore.Banks was on hand for the Braves final game at their previous home in 1996. The following year, the team moved next door to Turner Field, which began life as the main stadium for the Atlanta Olympics before it was converted into a baseball park.Atlanta Fulton-County Stadium was imploded, clearing the way for a parking lot that served its replacement.That was an easy move for Banks and other longtime stadium employees. Hes not sure hell be heading to SunTrust Park, which is only about 15 miles away in the Cumberland section of the city but isnt served by Atlantas rapid-transit system.If they get transportation, it would be a lot better, Banks said.The Braves marked the final game at the ballpark affectionately known as the Ted -- a nod to its namesake and former Braves owner Ted Turner -- with a rousing ceremony honoring their all-time Turner Field team.One by one, they trotted in through an opening in the center-field wall, beginning with Chipper Jones. He took his former position at third base, followed by shortstop Rafael Furcal, second baseman Marcus Giles, first baseman Adam LaRoche, left fielder Brian Jordan, center fielder Andruw Jones, right fielder Gary Sheffield and catcher Javy Lopez.Finally, the all-time pitchers were introduced -- three of them. Hall of Famers Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz strolled out together in their familiar Braves jerseys, the crowd saving its biggest cheer for the remarkable trio. They anchored the team through much of its unprecedented run of 14 straight division titles, the last nine of which came after the move to Turner Field.Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz were fittingly given the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitches in unison -- or, actually, the last pitches. They were joined on the mound by another Hall of Famer, former Braves manager Bobby Cox.A giant American flag was unfurled across the outfield during the national anthem, which was capped off by two military jets roaring overhead on an unseasonably warm afternoon.Tim Landrey was among those attending the final game, bringing along his 12-year-old son, Jack.Landrey moved to Atlanta in 1996 and has been a Braves fan ever since.I wanted to be part of this last game, he said while watching batting practice.Landrey, who lives in the suburbs north of Atlanta, is eager to attend games at the new stadium. He said it will be a bit closer to his home and there will be more to do at the mall-like complex adjacent to SunTrust Park, which will include restaurants, retail shops and a hotel.The Braves had long complained that the city never followed through on plans to bring development to the struggling neighborhood that surrounds Turner Field. They cited that as a reason for moving, along with some $400 million in public funds that Cobb County kicked in for the new stadium.Im looking forward to going to Braves games and hitting a restaurant or a bar before or after the game, Landrey said. Its something to do as opposed to just coming here, so its a good move for the Braves.Turner Field is barely older than Braves rookie shortstop Dansby Swanson, who was born in 1994 in suburban Kennesaw and has fond memories of cheering on the Braves as a child.Its a little bit surreal, Swanson said. This was pretty much my whole life, what I can remember. You cant really put it into words. I dont know if Ive even allowed myself to think about whats going on today and this whole year.Swanson is glad he made it to Atlanta this season, giving him a chance to take part in the Teds finale before moving on to a new era, one that hes expected to be a huge part of after several years of painful rebuilding.That was the goal coming in, Swanson said. I wanted to close out the old one and help open up the new one. Cowboys Jerseys China .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one.
