Editor's note: At a time when sports are shut down, we take a look back at some of the top moments over the years through the lenses of the photographers from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The Braves played their last game at Turner Field in Atlanta in October of 2016.

The franchise trotted out a Hall of Fame pitching trio to throw out the ceremonial first pitch - Greg Maddux, John Smoltz and Tom Glavine. And images captured by the AJC’s Curtis Compton and Hyosub Shin included a fourth Hall of Famer - manager Bobby Cox.
