The Braves kicked off Alumni Weekend in style.
You can do that when three organizational greats are less than two weeks removed from their enshrinement in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Bobby Cox, Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine were honored at Turner Field Friday night. Prior to the start of the game against the Nationals, the three were driven around the stadium in cars. During their trip, highlights from the Hall of Fame speech played on the scoreboard.
Following the trip, they met team president John Schuerholz near the pitcher’s mound. All three threw out the ceremonial first pitch.
About 40 former Braves players lined the first- and third-base lines prior to the first pitch as part of the ceremony.
