Fans flocked to SunTrust Park early Thursday to check out the Braves play the Phillies in the season opener.

Led by Freddie Freeman and manager Brian Snitker, the Braves were surrounded by fans taking photos and video during a parade at noon down the Battery Walk and into the stadium.

Hank Aaron was on hand for the festivities too, as was former Georgia star Nick Chubb. New Hall of Famer Chipper Jones threw out the first pitch.
