Meridian HS had some special visitors over Labor Day weekend. The Atlanta Braves P.R. team came out to do a story on their manager Brian Snitker who was a part of our school's well known 1971 State Championship Finals baseball team. This is the story that inspired the book "One Shot at Forever." Snitker's wife Ronnie, was here to do the interview as well as some of the members of that team, including the 1971 coach, Mr. Sweet. Some of the memorabilia including the 1971 trophy and book are located in our trophy case. Check it out the next time you are here.
Hometown hero, Brian Snitker has been very gracious with his Snitker Foundation. The foundation has allowed our baseball field to have a wonderful scoreboard as well as facility and equipment updates. Meridian is very thankful for his generosity.
You can view some of the footage of the PR event in the Facebook link below. Some pictures of this weekend's event are also attached.
