The baseball world is mourning the loss of the 39th US president, Jimmy Carter, who died at the age of 100 on Monday. The former president died at his home in Plains, Georgia.

Jimmy Carter served as the 76th mayor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975 before his term in office as the 39th president of the country from 1977 to 1981. Despite Carter's political commitments he always maintained his love for baseball, especially for the Atlanta Braves.

The former US president was often seen in the stands during Atlanta Braves' games and he was also present to witness one of the most memorable nights in baseball and Braves' history.
