Two weeks ago, the Atlanta Braves and their PR team announced a fun exercise for their fan base…a voting of which we could decide which positional players would fill out a roster consisting of the All-Turner Field team.
The Braves have only five more games at “The Ted” as they will move to Cobb County and their new SunTrust Ball Park in 2017. The organization began playing at this ball park in 1997 after 30 years (1966 to 1996) at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium…less than one block away.
Turner Field was originally built as the Centennial Olympic Stadium for the 1996 summer Olympics.
