.March 2 ., 1965 The P r esident The Whi te House Washington , D. C. Dear Mr~ President: Two of the most important events in the South' s distinguished athletic history will be th~ dedication of Atlanta•.si great new municipal stadium on July Z9, 1965. and the opening day of major league baseball in Atlan ta d ul"ing April, 1966. • It will mean so much more if you could join the people from all over our region to celebrate the South's ability to handle major league sports. While the stadium. decllcation will be an occasion of great local pride, the· actual beginning of the twenty-five year baseball contract with th.e !ormer :M.ilwaukce Brave-s will con,ma.nd more attention as it'assumes region;;a.. even national scope. Therefore. you may prefer to give more serious consideration to that event.
