ATLANTA -- Hank Aaron and Freddie Freeman were among those at SunTrust Park on Thursday morning to ceremonially lay the first bricks that will be used to build the Braves' new state-of-the-art stadium that is set to open at the start of the 2017 season.
"As a little boy, I knew a little bit about laying bricks, I knew how to hold them," the 81-year-old Aaron said before laying his brick alongside the other decorative ones used in this ceremony that was staged in the upper portion of the stadium's construction.
