“I’m put here to support the Braves, getting my hands on some of the new merchandise,” Said Mark Wheeler, a Braves superfan. “The Braves are doing very well; we are number one in the NL East right now. I’m just thankful they’re down here and giving us the opportunity to get the new merchandise. It’s a great franchise, and I’m happy to see the support.”

The 2026 Braves have started strong with an 8-5 record and the best ERA in baseball, navigating a demanding 13-game opening stretch despite early injury concerns within the pitching staff.
As WGXA has previously reported, 2026 marks the Braves’ 60th year in Atlanta, and Macon plays a role in Braves history.
From 1991 to 2002, Macon served as a vital development hub for the Atlanta Braves by hosting the Single-A Macon Braves, which was the training ground for future legends like Chipper and Andruw Jones.
