surepip Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Sounds like a great event especially for the little league ball players Link to post Share on other sites
mhparker92 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I love minor league ball. And, I love having you all basically in my back yard. Thanks for letting us know!! Link to post Share on other sites
surepip Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 The Rome Ballpark is a great venue as well. Up Close and Personal, so to speak. We have gone for years with 8 or 10 people riding in a RV, partying on the way up and back. And they used to have a deal for a Buffet Supper in the Clubhouse Dining Room, with a cash bar, and then our a sliding glass door to your seats to watch the game that was a deal, worth the price just for dinner. This Hot Stove event sounds like it would really be fun for the serious little league players and their families. Go Braves!!! Link to post Share on other sites

This place reminds me of the old Ponce De Leon Ball park where the Atlanta Crackers used to play, My grand father use to take me there when I was a kid. Had some up close views of the players Ralph (country) Brown was one of my favorite players back in the day. Link to post Share on other sites

My Mom and her family used to go watch games at the old Ponce de Leon park and she has some very fond memories of that place. Link to post Share on other sites
