Notable Former Braves Take Part in Losing Effort in Home Run Derby X

Four former Atlanta Braves players took the field at Georgia Tech's Mac Nease Baseball Park at Russ Chandler Stadium for the Home Run Derby X event on Sunday. Andruw Jones and Ryan Klesko served as team captains for two of the four teams involved in the game. Jeff Francoeur was on Team Jones, and Jonny Gomes was on Team Klesko.

Both Braves teams failed to reach the final round. Team Klesko got smacked by the Nationals alum team that featured former All-Stars Ryan Zimmerman and Ian Desmond. Team Jones blew a 13-point lead to lose to the Phillies alum team that had 2006 NL MVP Ryan Howard and Georgia Tech freshman Alex Hernandez.
