This will be Atlanta’s 22nd and final season of spring training at Disney and the Braves will play at Champion Stadium for the last time Mar. 23, against the Mets.

Next spring will be your last chance to come out and watch the Braves and experience the magic of spring training at Disney, which features character appearances and special moments including kids running the bases and other in-game entertainment that have made Braves Spring Training at Disney a grand slam.

Tickets go on sale Nov. 19 and are available through the Atlanta Braves’ website (braves.com/springtraining), ESPN Wide World of Sports box office and through Ticketmaster (1-800-745-3000).

I guess they want to guarantee a win in their last game.

Yes they are!

I guess we shall see. I plan on being at that game, to see a Mets victory

Perhaps the Mets can contend for the spring training Grapefruit League title!

It's a shame Disney decided to allow the Braves to leave WWoS. It's always been fun to go there and watch spring training games. But these MLB teams are asking for more and more stuff at their spring training sites, and it must've been more than Disney was willing to pay for.

But even spring 2019 is a bonus - they originally were going to be gone already. Delays to their new spring training site has them playing at Disney one more spring.

It was hard to watch the news conference .... he has been a class act for the 15 years he has been a Met ....

Yes, it was. He has been our 2 boys favorite player since the beginning. They would get #5 in Little League to wear on their jersey because of him. I hope the game on the 29th gives him peace to know he did everything he could do to get back. Hard to find a player that kids could look up to with all the controversies that follow professional sports players.

I think the game on the 29th will be a tear jerker as well. :bball::baseball:

I am heartbroken that he's leaving. I wish the past couple of seasons could have been better for him
