Braves, Uber bringing longtime usher Walter Banks to SunTrust Park

Here is a feel good story for your Thanksgiving week. Long-time Braves usher Walter Banks will be a part of SunTrust Park after all thanks to Uber who will provide him with transportation to and from the games.

“Uber is proud to provide Walter with a reliable ride to and from each game at SunTrust Park,” said Marklin. “Walter is a cornerstone of the Braves community, and we all know a home game simply wouldn’t be complete without his passion and hospitality.”

Banks started as an usher at Atlanta Fulton-County Stadium back in 1965 for the Atlanta Crackers and the next year for the Braves after they moved from Milwaukee.
