Overview
- The Braves held a moment of silence and aired a tribute video before Tuesday's game against the Cubs at Truist Park, the first home date since both men died last week.
- Fans saw memorial touches across the park and The Battery, including a '17' nod to Turner's Channel 17 strategy on TBS and a '6' for longtime manager Bobby Cox.
- Atlanta won 5-2, with Mike Yastrzemski going 2-for-2 with three RBIs and his first Braves home run on a night he said the club honored both figures well.
- Ted Turner bought the club in 1976 and used his Superstation to beam games nationwide, a move the team credits with building a coast‑to‑coast fan base often called 'America's Team.'
- Bobby Cox managed the Braves to 14 straight division titles from 1991 to 2005, five NL pennants, the 1995 World Series, and 2,401 wins, and former players remember him as a second father.
