The final game in Turner Field history is being played on Sunday and the Braves had a pre-game ceremony for the farewell. It was capped off with a perfect ceremonial first pitch. Braves Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox presented baseballs to Hall of Famers Greg Maddux, John Smoltz and Tom Glavine, who then threw their first pitch all at the same time.
How about Eddie Perez -- Maddux's personal catcher for years -- getting there to catch Maddux? Great touch all around. When you think of the Braves playing in Turner Field, the first thing that comes to mind is the excellent pitch from that trio and then probably Chipper Jones.
The Braves only played in Turner Field from 1997-2016. They'll open Sun Trust Park in Cobb County next season.
