    Braves Fest

    First time going to Braves Fest. A great time. The kids hit wiffle balls, threw in the bullpen, went on the field, all with player interaction. Got to meet Eric Young, Ian Anderson, Sean Murphy, and Mike Soroka. A few autographs too!

    Definitely. Really enjoyed it. Completely free, even parking. I did buy lunch out for the family, but well worth it. It was great to check out the bullpen for sure.

    Free,nice! The Tigers used to do one , but they charged. And that's even if you could get tickets.

    I think they said 40k people showed up for the event but it was spread out, activities in the park, on the field, and the surrounding area. Some of the player meet and greets had long lines, it probably would have been 2+ hours to see Acuna. We stuck to short or no lines. Wiffle ball with AJ Minter and the bullpen coach. Met Ian Anderson, Kolby Allard, Sean Murphy, Mike Soroka, Eric Young, and Lucas Luetge (who was throwing with the kids in the bullpen). There were some other former Braves, but I'd have to figure out who based on photos we took. Sean Murphy and Mike Soroka were the best. Loved chatting with them and they signed!

    So cool and what interaction with players and also some autographs. Wish I lived close to a MLB ballpark, Seattle is the closest. 5 hours!

    Any minors or independent ball nearby? 5 hours is a drive for sure!

    That’s not too bad at least! I used to see some independent ball but the team was acquired.
