Atlanta Braves players Macay McBride, Joey Devine and Chuck James joined Braves 400 Club members and their guests in the 755 Club for a delightful luncheon followed by a question and answer session. In addition to telling the attendees what they were doing at the time they received word of their promotion to Atlanta, they gave their views of the differences between life in the minor leagues and the major league. To a man the first thing mentioned was the food! The players also made themselves available for autographs and photos. As is the case with each new crop of Atlanta Braves players, we met some great young men and we wish them success at the major league level.
