Tom Glavine, Fred McGriff and Andruw Jones are scheduled to be among the former Braves welcoming fans to Turner Field Saturday for the annual FanFest celebration.

Turner Field, in its final season before the Braves move to Cobb County, will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. as former, current and future players sign autographs and take photos with fans.

Kids 14 and younger can take part in a kids-only press conference, or listen to a player read a book. Fans can also attend panel discussions featuring current players, top prospects, alumni and front office executives.

There will also be tours of Turner Field offered every 15 minutes.

More information is available on the Braves' website.
