He was not an Atlanta Brave but he was
"the Georgia Peach Ty Cobb" who was
the leader in total hits for a career before
Pete Rose came along.

OUTSIDE THE ATLANTA BRAVES STADIUM!!!!!!!

The plaza at the entrance to the stadium is huge. The reason is the stadium was originally built as a track and field stadium for the 1996 Olympics seating plus 75,000 people. After the Olympics were over the stadium was converted to a 47,000 baseball only stadium and thus you have a huge plaza. This area has many famous Atlanta Braves players and would be a great meeting place.

You will know this statue "Henry Hank Aaron"
In my opinion he is still the leader in career home runs.

Older baseball fans will know this statue the great left handed pitcher
"Warren Spahn". I saw a game in late 1963 at old Sportsmen's park where Warren beat Bob Gibson one to zero and possibly kept the Cardinals from being champions in 1963 instead of 1964.

An old knuckle ball pitcher who was active into his late forties "Phil Niekro".

A close up view of the spot in the former Atlanta stadium
where Hank Aaron hit home run #715. Nancy and I saw a game at the old stadium in 1979.

As we headed toward downtown for lunch at the Varsity we were reminded that the 1996 Olympics
where hosted by Atlanta.
