Re: Braves announce caravan schedule around southeast

I was really hoping that when the list came out, Justices' name would be on it.

I'm not sure if he's ever done any of the caravans in the past but he certainly wouldn't be a bad addition

Thanks! I'll try to make the Columbia stop.

Re: Braves announce caravan schedule around southeast

It should be a great caravan


For those who haven't been to one, you need to get there EARLYYYYYY. Last year I got to one of the stops 5 hours early and I was 130 back in line. The Cumming stop will be the biggest line; I plan on getting there atleast 6-7 hours early. I don't think the lines at the stops out of state should be that long though.

And if anybody needs photos to get signed, I have some of just about everybody on the Caravan tour which I have available for cheap. I'll also be in line selling photos if anybody plans on being at the metro Atlanta stops

I plan on making that stop too. Hopefully it won't be too crazy.

Re: Braves announce caravan schedule around southeast

I've never been. Is it just autographs? Do they sell anything?

It's just a long line, plenty of waiting, and they show up right at the start time. They'll all be sitting at a single table, and you just go by each player within a minute or two and have everything signed, then leave. It's nothing too special, just an opportunity to get autographs of all the players who you never see signing during the season.

Kyle,

Any idea on what players were signing at the stadium this past season for the Alumni signings that they had every month?

They actually have alumni signings every Sunday home game here. I believe Justice has done 1 or 2 of those. I'm usually in BP though during the signings so I don't see who's up there all the time.

What an amazing event your team does! That is a lot of mileage they cover!

yea they consider all these places "Braves Country" and won't up about it during the season lol

I've lost count of how many times I've heard "this is Braves country" in 2011

Re: Braves announce caravan schedule around southeast

Apparently the Power Lunch isn't something the players will be signing at, so wherever you see that on the schedule, don't show up expecting a signing. Here's a new schedule to understand easier who will be where:

Re: Braves announce caravan schedule around southeast

If anyone is planning on attending the caravan tomorrow in Cumming, please note that the line has already started and people will be camping out. I may join them later tonight, but if anyone expects to get there in time for autographs, definitely plan on arriving well before 7am. A lot of people will be there by then

Re: Braves announce caravan schedule around southeast

Anybody attend any?

I camped out for 14 hours at the Cumming stop. I was number 153 in line

10 hours camping out in Chattanooga - number 1 in line

5 hours waiting in Snellville - number 43 in line
