Atlanta Braves

Today, the Atlanta Braves continued their annual Hank Aaron Week celebrations with the groundbreaking for a new Hank Aaron Diamond softball field, the unveiling of a Hank Aaron Diamond baseball field, and a mural dedication at Booker T. Washington High School, Atlanta’s first public secondary school for Black students and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s alma mater.     As a part of the ‘Hank Aaron Diamonds’ initiative announced last fall, the Atlanta Braves have made significant investments into the baseball and softball programs across the City of Atlanta by rebuilding and upgrading the infields at all operating high schools in the Atlanta Public Schools (APS) district. In honor of Hank Aaron’s birthday and the start of Black History Month, the Braves are celebrating Hank Aaron Week with ribbon-cutting ceremonies for the first four Hank Aaron Diamond fields at Mays, Jackson, Washington, and North Atlanta High Schools.     In addition to the Hank Aaron Diamond unveilings, Hank Aaron Week will include a volunteer day of service, a food pantry donation at the Henry Louis “Hank" Aaron New Beginnings Academy, and APS Baseball Media Day at Truist Park. Beginning this week through the end of February, the Braves and MLB are also hosting a sweepstakes for signed Hank Aaron items to benefit the Henry Louis Aaron Fund at Braves.com/HankSweeps
