ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta Braves leaned heavily on some of the biggest names from their past to help open their new park.
The first pitch before Friday night's opener at SunTrust Park was delivered from one Hall of Famer, Hank Aaron, to another, Bobby Cox.
The 83-year-old Aaron used a cane as he walked onto the field in front of the mound. Aaron tossed the underhand pitch to Cox, the former manager who had a new bronze statue unveiled at a stadium entrance on Thursday. The Braves also have a new Aaron statue at the park.
