Commemorate the occasion by making Andruw Jones a permanent, life-sized graphic on the outfield wall.

Ha! I love it. At the very least, they should paint a star where Ausmus' homer hit the wall. And on the seats where Berkman and Burke's homers landed too, for that matter.

Kinda like the portraits painted on the outfield padding at Dodger Stadium? If ya gotta put AJ up there, better that "body outline" than his Spiderman catch of Spiers' ball in what, 1999? Eep.

I saw something during the season where Johnny Damon had face-planted a cushioned wall in an outfield somewhere, and they put a chalk outline there after the game.  I like the idea of a chalk-Andruw on the mat in LCF.

Here's another thought:  World Series pennant on the limestone wall.

Absolutely. In fact, let's do both.

In an amazing twist of irony, the Braves have painted a chalk outline of the Ted's left field scoreboard on Brian Jordan's rhomboid head, following his running catch of an Everett deep fly last Wednesday.
