But even with difficulties, Roger was confident he could create the same success here.
There's always a solution to a problem, and the summer was still long, one step at a time.
Before addressing all these issues, Roger had to make a public appearance in Atlanta.
When Ted Turner said he wanted Roger to make a grand public appearance, Roger thought he would be hosting a press conference for him at a luxury hotel.
Turner, it turned out, had greatly underestimated the team's and Atlanta's esteem for him.
Because Ted Turner, in conjunction with the city government, managed to arrange a very grand welcome parade for Roger.
It was quite the fanfare of a welcome.
On his third day in Atlanta, Roger took part in the parade.
It was fair to say, the scale was comparable to a championship parade.
