Ivan Allen, Mayor City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Dear Sir: On Jély 27th we carried twelve Cub Scouts to Atlanta Stadium to see the ball game and to meet the Graves - or so we thought. We had been up to the Stadium Office on a previous visit and the young lady told us we could bring the boys to an evening game at 6 p.m, and they could be taken into the dugout to meet the players. To confirm this I called Mr. Joe Gershon, President of the Braves 400 Club. He referred me to Mr. Jerry Sachs, Public Relations Director of the Braves. His office told me to bring the boys down to he dugout level seats at 6 p.m. and, even though they could not go into the dugout, the players would come over and sign their autograph books. This we did. We had the Cubs there at 5:45 and they were the only children in the stands at the time. Felipe Alou and Mack Jones came over and were extremely nice to the boys, signing their books and letting the boys make their pictures and talking to them, However the rest of the team were rude to the point of being nasty to the children, Twelve small boys were very disappointed; however, they were still pulling for their Braves when they took the field. How does a parent or leader of children. tell a boy that his idol may be a great player on the field but that he is not much as a man? We hope that something can be done so that other children will not be disappointed as ours were. If necessary, the personnel should instruct anyone who calls that it is not possible to meet the Braves. Although I feel that this would be could for the spirit of the players as well as the fans if there was a closer relationship. Yours very truly, NH dame] ton Suzanne i.

Almost every old—line major league city has had to experience seasons of ups and downs, and yet they have managed to sustain their support for their teams; sunnort in the form of adulating paid attendance at aames. The results are evident where a team has not been supported; the team moves out of town, as was the case of Milwaukee. I was extremelv disturbed to see so many people leaving so early during the game and the drop off in attendance Tuesday nicht over Monday evenina. Most disturbing were comments such as, "They ought to go back to Milwaukee, if Milwaukee will take them back.'"' I also hear comments to the effect that Atlanta is a football town and will never support a losing baseball team. We are a major league city at this noint only to the point that we now have a major league team. We will be a major leaque baseball city in fact and deed when the Braves are given real support. Everybody loves a winner, but even winners have to lose sometimes, and at times even for long stretches. Pro and con opinions about Bragan and individual players are healthy and are a part of spectator sports, but fickleness can only go so far. The verv worst thing that could happen is having the Braves win a penant in their first year here. All that can happen after that is for the team to stay status quo or go down. I think that news media have done a fairly good job of promoting the Braves, but more is needed. The civic leaders who helped brina the Rraves to us have to maintain and radiate their enthusiasm. Unfortunately, Atlanta does not have New York's sense of humor that has more than sustained the Mets through several dark years. DISTRIBUTOR OF ® Mavbe we ought to start opening up our somewhat starched collars and introduce more showmanship into activities at the Stadium. Atlanta is a potpourri of people from all over the country. Why not have "New Yorkers' Night" when the Mets are here, and Philadelphia night when the Phillies are here, etc. We don't have to qo to quite the extremes of Bill Veeck, (or do we?) but more color would add to the fun. Anyway, you have to agree that baseball is always good, but we need the fans out there during good times and not so good times.

Text Any textual data included in the document May 30, 1966 Mr. Gpie Shelton Executive Vice President Atlanta Chamber of Commerce Commerce Building Atlanta, Georgia Dear Opie: Here is the bill for the joint Forward Atlanta/Braves opening day promotion. We have previously submitted to Curtis Driskell all bills related directly to the Mayor's Dinner. He tells me that, despite the cocktail party, the income from the dinner came within approximately $215 of equalling the cost of the dinner. Although our budget anticipated some $2,500 net income from the dinner, I think the Mayor's cocktail party and the wine were excellent additions to the original dinner concept. They marked the difference between ultra first class and something less than first class, This invoice, including Bell & Stanton's fee for extra staff and extra services, amounts to $13,555.29. I presume that to it will have to be added some $215 to make Curtis Driskell's dinner books balance. Thus, the total amount to be divided between the Chamber and the Braves -- and perhaps the Mayor, if he wants a further piece of the action -=- is $13,770.29. Mr. Opie Shelton Page Two May 30, 1966 During all the ten-year history of Bell & Stanton, I doubt that any client -- or combination of clients -- ever got so much for so little. Some of the results were reflected in our most recent report to the Forward Atlanta Committee. Clippings are still coming in. Some of the intangible results can never be measured; but these things we know: 1. One of the objectives of this joint promotion was to £i11 Atlanta Stadium on opening night and to have a respectable crowd there on the second night. This objective was accomplished. It alone more than pays for the Braves' share. 2. A second objective -- of equal interest to both Atlanta and the Braves -~ was that Atlanta welcome the Braves with enthusiasm. The turn-away crowd at the Mayor's Dinner; the tremendous attendance at the parade and the full stadium on opening night say more than we can ever say about the success of this one. 3. Perhaps the most important objective of all was that all America be made aware that Atlanta, with the Braves, had gone Big League. We can never measure the full extent of the accomplishment of this objective. Suffice it to say, it was achieved far beyond our wildest dreams. Atlanta and the Braves had two pages in Life Magazine; almost a full page in The National Observer; a column in Time; a snide, but neverthe- less, overall favorable story in Newsweek; ail the national television networks, including a special cut~-in in the Today Show; a major article in Look Magazine; coverage by Hearst Metrotone Newsreel; and pictures and stories in every major newspaper in the country. All conveyed the same idea -- Atlanta has gone Big League and loves it. Let me say in closing that a substantial part of the success of this promotion is due to the overwhelming cooperation our firm had from you, from Curtis Driskell, from Ben Garland, from the Braves’ officials, from the Braves’ Public Relations Department and from the Mayor’s office. Mr. Opie Shelton Page Three May 30, 1966 All in all it was a great success. We are proud to have shared it with you. Sincerely, George Goodwin c¢: Mayor Ivan sie Mr. Alan Bell Mx. William C.
