Braves Chairman and CEO Terry McGuirk, President John Schuerholtz, hall of famer Hank Aaron and current Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman are expected to attend.
Also expected are the CEO of SunTrust, Bill Rogers; Cobb Commission Chairman Tim Lee and Commissioners JoAnn Birrell, Lisa Cupid, Bob Ott and Bob Weatherford.
