1946 - The Boston Braves fall 5-1 to the New York Giants in the first night game played at Braves Field. The game drew the largest crowd in 13 years.
1977 - Braves owner Ted Turner decides to take over as manager of his team. Atlanta drops their 17th straight game in Turner’s debut with coach Vern Benson making most of the in-game decisions. Following the game, the National League steps in and removes Turner as the manager citing a rule that prevents an owner from also being a manager. Dave Bristol will return to the dugout and finish the season as the team’s manager.
