The Braves have cancelled their caravan events for Thursday due to snow and icy conditions in metro Atlanta. The tour had included stops at Clay National Guard, the Rome Braves, and the Hixon, Tenn. Academy Sports and Outdoors.
Wednesday’s events in Birmingham, Ala. had already been cancelled.
The decision was made “due to inclement weather and the safety of fans, players, coaches and staff,” the club announced.
Freddie Freeman was among the Braves players and staff who took part in a visit to Clarksdale Elementary School Tuesday morning before snow hit metro Atlanta.
It took him 11 hours to get to his Roswell home Tuesday evening. Freeman was rescued from being stranded off Georgia 400 by former Brave Chipper Jones, who drove seven miles on an all-terrain vehicle to come pick him up.
