ATLANTA -- The weather outside was anything but frightful -- actually, it was a clear and quite pleasant low-60's Friday evening at The Battery Atlanta.
The fired-up fans were so delightful.
There was plenty of 'choppin' around the Christmas tree' as the Braves threw the first pitch of the holiday season, holding their inaugural Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony.
"Welcome to this wonderful ceremony, the first ever at The Battery Atlanta and SunTrust Park," Hall of Famer and Braves vice chairman John Schuerholz told the packed plaza. "You're a part of it. We're so excited."
The fans would be, too.
