It’s official!! The Atlanta Braves will be honoring the great Hammering Hank Aaron at the new SunTrust Ball Park. Well we all knew this would happen in some matter, but weren’t sure exactly what it would be.
Since the Braves announced in 2013 that they would be moving to Cobb County, the question continued to surface about where the Hank Aaron statue that sits out from of Turner Field would go. The Braves wanted to bring the bronze statue to the new SunTrust Park, but Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority wanted it to stay put.
The back and forth continued until about a year ago around this time, the two parties came to an agreement that the statue would stay in downtown Atlanta.
