Lake Buena Vista, Fla.—Just over eight thousand were in attendance to watch the Atlanta Braves host the Philadelphia Phillies this past Sunday at Disney’s Wide World of Sports.
Lots of familiar faces dotted the Champion Stadium field—from Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins and 2006 NL MVP Ryan Howard to Braves catcher Brian McCann, right fielder Jeff Francoeur, and third baseman Chipper Jones. Even the world-renown Harlem Globetrotters stopped in for a quick show.
Despite having a 2-0 lead through the fourth inning, the Phillies answered the Braves with a run in the top of the fifth and four more in the sixth. Brian McCann’s homer in the bottom of the sixth stirred hopes of a Braves comeback, but none came. The Phillies finished the game, winning 7-3.
The next Braves event is an exhibition game against Panama. The game will be held at Disney’s Wide World of Sports on Tuesday, March 3.
