"Former Braves Player Gary Cooper's Plea for One More Day in the Majors to Secure Pension"

Former Atlanta Braves player Gary Cooper is petitioning for a one-day contract with the team to qualify for a MLB/MLBPA pension. Cooper's 42-day stint in the majors fell short of the 43-day requirement for pension eligibility. An online petition has garnered nearly 8,000 signatures in support of his cause. Cooper, now 67, lives a modest lifestyle and works as a landscaper. The Braves have previously helped another player in a similar situation, and Cooper has received support from the community and local officials.
