A Fan Fests Conflict

Hey fans! Want to see your favorite new Braves, Jeff Francoeur, Brian McCann, and Blaine Boyer at this year’s Braves Winter FanFest on February 4th from 10am to 5pm. After all, they are the young stars that helped Atlanta recapture that baseball spirit. Well, odds are you won’t see them. They will be at Fan-Fest, but not at FanFest. This particular ‘Fest they will be attending is for the Mississippi Braves at Trustman Park in, you guessed it, Mississippi from 4pm to 8pm. I guess they could try to attend both if they had access to a plane to whisk them from Atlanta in the early afternoon to Mississippi at night. But my guess is that barring Deion Sanders showing up with a helicopter, the Major League club’s first event of 2006 will be without some of its most popular young talent. I wonder how the big club could let a scheduling conflict like this occur.

The Rome Braves hold their ‘Fest on Monday the 6th of February, with Giles and Salty headlining.
