Atlanta Braves fans celebrated their first World Series win since 1995 this week, but they didn't exactly have time to relish the moment with their team during the championship parade. The Braves' buses raced through downtown Atlanta's streets at an alarmingly fast rate on Friday.
According to Atlanta Police, 300,000 to 400,000 fans headed downtown for the parade, which started there before passing the Hank Aaron statue, Peachtree Street and ending at Truist Park. The buses' speed meant each fan had only a few seconds to enjoy the show.
Phil the Bucket, one of the Atlanta Braves' "Home Depot Tools" mascots, was no exception. The mascot frantically waved his arms while sprinting down a sidewalk to keep up with one of the buses. That may not have been Phil's wisest idea, as his "instruction manual" on the Braves' website said his contents can explode under extreme heat.
The Braves' buses were traveling fast long before they reached downtown. Pitcher Mike Soroka stood with the World Series trophy on the bus' second level while it was traveling a whopping 55 miles per hour. That's nearly as risky as Tom Brady throwing the Lombardi Trophy from one boat to another during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Super Bowl parade last season.
After waiting 26 years for another World Series, the Braves' parade route didn't seem to extend longer than 26 seconds.
