ATLANTA -- A fellowship in the name of Henry Aaron has been established by the Atlanta Braves to help increase diversity in baseball and build on Aaron's legacy.
The Henry Aaron Fellowship is a yearlong executive leadership program to provide an opportunity to work in the Braves' front office and directly with Braves president and CEO Derek Schiller. The person will gain experience in all parts of the Braves' business operations as well as the Atlanta Braves Foundation.
With the All-Star Game slated for Atlanta's Truist Park in July, the fellow will also get to work on planning and executing the game and surrounding activities.
