ATLANTA -- When fans make their first visit to SunTrust Park this year, they will have the opportunity to see the various ways the Braves have attempted to preserve Hank Aaron's legacy and historical accomplishments via tributes constructed throughout their new ballpark.
The Braves provided some updated plans on Thursday, when they revealed that along with placing a bronze statue of Aaron outside the stadium, they will also offer fans a chance to visit the Hank Aaron Terrace, an area that will celebrate the iconic Hall of Famer's historic 715th home run.
"Hank Aaron is one of the preeminent figures of all-time -- not only in sport, but in history -- and this organization is constantly humbled by the opportunity to call him one of our own," Braves Chairman and CEO Terry McGuirk said.
