Can you guess who’s throwing out the honorary first pitch at SunTrust Park opener?
Braves legend Hank Aaron is expected to throw out the honorary first pitch to cap pre-game activities opening SunTrust Park on Friday night.
The celebration of the park’s opening will also included a welcoming home of fellow Braves legends Bobby Cox, Tom Glavine, Chipper Jones, Dale Murphy, Phil Niekro and John Smoltz, according to a Braves news release.
Friday marks the first-regular season game when the braves take on the San Diego Padres.
The sold-out game starts at 7:35 p.m., but fans are asked to be in their seats by 6:30 p.m. for the pre-game ceremony.
