The Atlanta Braves unveiled their promotional schedule for the much-anticipated return of baseball to Truist Park for the 2021 season. Highlights include an ‘MVFree’ bobblehead, presented by Truist, honoring Freddie Freeman’s 2020 National League MVP award and a two-part Ozzie Albies and Ronald Acuña Jr. ‘Braves Win’ bobblehead set, presented by Xfinity, commemorating the duo’s iconic celebratory high-fives. The 11th annual Alumni Weekend, presented by Your Local Ford Dealer, will be held on May 21-23. Additional promotions include Pride Night on June 15 and a unique assortment of kids-only gate giveaways for every Sunday home game. The Braves home opener is slated for Friday, April 9, against the Philadelphia Phillies.
The 2021 promotional schedule includes more than 12 gate giveaways. Gate giveaways include a Braves cap presented by NAPA AUTO PARTS on May 7, a Ronald Acuña Jr. replica chain presented by Delta Air Lines on July 20, and a robust lineup of bobbleheads. The first bobblehead will recognize 2020 National League MVP Freddie Freeman, presented by Truist, on May 23. On June 2, fans will get part one of the two-part Ozzie Albies and Ronald Acuña Jr. ‘Braves Win’ set, presented by Xfinity, with part two on June 16, presented by Comcast Business.

The final bobblehead will honor retired Braves catcher Brain McCann on September 28, presented by Northside Hospital.

Fans can also experience Truist Park from a kid’s point of view with an all-access pass to Hope & Will’s Sandlot with the Kid For A Day specialty ticket package on April 15 and May 13.
