You don't even have to wait until spring training to get a look at the Braves this year.
Braves FanFest starts at 10 a.m. Saturday at Turner Field. There is no charge to attend the event and parking is free at the Green Lot, too.
Where else can you go to get an autograph from former Braves center-field great Andruw Jones and also seek a signature from Mallex Smith, who could be the team's center fielder of the future? Or how about baseball Hall of Fame lefty Tom Glavine and Braves left-handed pitching prospect Sean Newcomb?
Current Braves Freddie Freeman, Kelly Johnson, Jace Peterson, Matt Wisler, Hector Olivera, A.J. Pierzynski and others will be on hand, along with top prospects Smith, Newcomb, Dansby Swanson, Tyrell Jenkins, Touki Toussaint and more.
Former Braves expected to attend the event include Jones, Glavine, Mark Wohlers, Fred McGriff, Phil Niekro and others.
Members of the front office and the broadcasting crew will interact with fans as well. Panel discussions, photo opportunities and Turner Field tours will also be offered at the event, which ends at 4 p.m.
