Tuesday April 7th 2020 this would have been the 12th game on the pottery schedule in Atlanta versus the Braves game time 420 San Diego time estimated forecasts in Atlanta 78 degrees today's feature Nate Kolbert why because Nate Kolbert hit a three-run bomb off of knuckleballer Phil Niekro of the Atlanta Braves back on this date April 7th in 1970 they the Padres won the home opener that day 8 to 3 in front of a crowd of 25,000 125 Nicole Burr Adirondack baseball bat and mr. October Reggie Jackson all had a hand in that particular day why you ask is because rich Jackson's son Shaun here on the cover of his book mr. October the Year previous 1969 he played with the Oakland A's and he had 47 home runs somewhere between that season 1969 and the beginning of the 1970 season Nate Kolbert excuse me Reggie Jackson gifted to Nate Kolbert a baseball bat this exact same model Adirondack 302 F big stick Reggie Jackson flame treated baseball bad Nate Kolbert use this particular bat not the one I have here but this style of bat on opening day and 1970 hits a bomb to help the Padres win so it's a really neat tie-in with Nicole Burt the Adirondack style baseball bat yeah mr.
