Sunday featured another of the myriad special events conducted by the Braves and Major League Baseball as part of 2025 All-Star Week. Center Parc Stadium (formerly known as Turner Field and previous home of the Braves) was the site of the All-Star 4.

One common opponent: Traffic. It is epic in Atlanta, even in Cobb’s relatively advantageous position on the northwest edge of I-285, or the “perimeter.” Eighty-one Braves home games can choke the grid further, and it’s interesting to note that the area around Turner Field downtown has largely thrived in the Braves’ absence.

Outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. will help get things started in the first inning for the hometown Braves in Tuesday’s All-Star Game at Truist Park.

Matt Olson is living the dreams he had while growing up in suburban Atlanta. The Braves first baseman attended Parkview High School in nearby Lilburn, Ga., and was drafted by the A’s in the first round of the 2012 Draft.

Ronald Acuña Jr. will take center stage in the only MLB city he's called home in his eight-year career at the All-Star Game.
