Turner Field hosted a legend on Friday night.
When the Atlanta Braves announced its lease on Turner Field would expire at the conclusion of the 2016 season, they decided to put the number of home games remaining on the left field wall.
Dubbed the Turner Field Countdown, a number will be torn down at every home game until the end of the season. With 43 left, Hank Aaron, who wore No. 44, did the honor of unveiling the number.
