Editor’s note: At a time when sports are shut down, including the canceled Final Four in Atlanta and many other postponed events, we take a look (in no particular order) at some of the bizarre moments from Georgia sports history.
Gather ‘round, kids, and we shall tell you a quintessentially Atlanta Christmas story.
Unlike most holiday tales, this one involves no gift-giving, no cheer, no It’s-A-Wonderful-Life kind of updraft at the end. The Hallmark Channel will never air it. The Comedy Channel, maybe. Because it involves sports and Atlanta, a combination that so often produces the wry and the weird.
