ATLANTA -- Though the opportunity to participate in the first regular-season Major League Baseball game ever played on an active military base is certainly appealing, Braves outfielder Jeff Francoeur and some of his teammates are every bit as excited about the opportunity to spend a portion of this weekend interacting with military personnel stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C.
"The excitement more than anything is about the experience," Francoeur said. "We're going to get a chance to hang out in the mess hall and spend the day honestly just hanging with those guys, which for us, what an honor.
