I actually have a funny story about last year's Braves Caravan to Chattanooga. I was on my way to school and I heard "John Smoltz is over here at Hamilton Place mall signing autographs, the line is VERY VERY short so get on over here!" So I thought: YEAHHHH! haha I drove back home and grabbed some baseballs and cards and everything and got out there annnnnd it was John Schuerholtz....yeahhhh....haha great...I skipped two classes and everything. Horacio Ramirez was there too but I dont have anything left on him. I think Pat Corales and Skip Caray were there too.

So far there is no info on there website. I guess there will be eventually

Looking at Tim Hudson's schedule around the 17th and 20th, he will probably be making the Macon, Georgia trip along with Mark Lemke. Am going to the Birmingham, Al caravan due to work sending me there for a training class. Oh the horror......

I will probably head to Macon for this and hope that Hudson is there. Hudson was signing with Jerome Walton, Johnny Estrada, Steve Bedrosian, and a couple of others at a local hitting instuction/batting cage a couple of weeks ago where I live and I missed them.

I see them around town, but never have stuff for them or it is a bad time to ask for an auto.

Anyone heard any more info on this? I would assume they would at least list the players that are attending these events? I was thinking about hitting up the Birmingham one, if it's someone worth going for

 

[Singinsully02]

Just to follow up, I've been calling to find out who is going to be at the Birmingham stop, and all I've gotten is "we don't know until they get here" Great......

I have been calling about the Macon caravan as well and get the same answer you got. I did find this link which pretty much gives the same info listed above in this thead....good luck if you're going to either of them. Anyone else going to Macon?

Anyone been to one previously? If so, are they pretty organized?

Thanks

I live 4 hours away from Birmingham , but am a huge Braves fan. I'd just hate to drive down there for Matt Diaz and Tyler Yates.
