Turner Field's last hurrah was a site.

More than 50,000 crowded into Atlanta's storied ballpark one last time Sunday. They left with a win and a bucket full of emotions and confetti.

From start to finish, it was a memorable day, from longtime usher Walter Banks calling out the final "play ball!" to Hammerin' Hank Aaron throwing out the final "last pitch."

Experience it all in this timelapse video:
