ATLANTA (AP) -- Hank Aaron recognized the look. Just not the feel. The Atlanta Braves unveiled a new alternate home uniform Monday that is based on the attire worn when the team moved from Milwaukee in 1966, with Aaron as its biggest star. "It's a beautiful uniform," he said during a ceremony held at Turner Field in the 755 Club -- which is named after Aaron's career home run total. "And it's not wool. Those first uniforms were wool." The cream-colored uniforms feature the customary Braves script across the front, but without the tomahawk that is below the nickname on the regular home white jerseys.

2012 player preview: Erik Cordier

Via Chop-N-Change  |  February 06, 2012
Time for a guy who could be a factor for the Braves this season, but not in his current role: Erik Cordier. The 25 (26 this month) year-old Cordier was acquired from the Braves way back in March of 2007 from the Royals in exchange for Tony Pena Jr, then a shortstop. He missed all of the 2007 following Tommy John surgery, and only threw 45 innings in 2008 for the GCL and Rome. In...

A brief analysis of the Braves new jersey press conference
