Braves star-in-the-making Jason Heyward won't be wearing a high number in the regular season. When Jason takes the field for the Braves Monday as they open the season againt the Cubs, Heyward will be wearing jersey #22. The selection of that number is a tribute to a deceased friend, Andrew Wilmot. Wilmot wore #22 when he and Heyward were part of the 2005 Georgia State Championship Prep Baseball Team at Henry County High School. Wilmot died about a year later in a car accident.
