Watch Braves star Andruw Jones ride a mechanical bull live
Andruw Jones made some of the most acrobatic defensive plays baseball has ever seen, but how long can he ride a mechanical bull?
See for yourself Friday.
That's when the former Braves legend will go for a spin during the opening of PBR Atlanta — Professional Bull Riders, not the beer.
The country bar venue will is opening in The Battery, which is the multi-use space that connects to the team's new home SunTrust Park.
During his dozen years with the Braves, Jones earned 10 consecutive Gold Glove awards and five All-Star selections.
Festivities start at 4 p.m., and Jones is scheduled to show up about an hour later.
The bar, 825 Battery Ave. SE, will name the bull "Druw" after the Braves Hall of Fame outfielder.
The space — described as “‘cowboy cool’ meets ‘urban chic’” — will be open regularly Thursdays through Fridays from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., and stay open an hour later on Saturday.
