Atlanta Braves great Chipper Jones chuckles after a scouting report on him by fellow Major Leaguer Jonathon Broxton of the Los Angeles Dodgers during a question and answer session at the "An Evening with the All-Stars" event sponsored by the Georgia Southern University Dugout Club at the Nessmith-Lane Continuing Education Building on Friday.
With the first pitch of the 2011 Georgia Southern baseball season just two weeks away, the excitement of another year got rolling Friday night at “An Evening with the All-Stars” which was held at the Nessmith-Lane Ballroom and featured Chipper Jones of the Atlanta Braves and Jonathan Broxton of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Eagle fans were treated to dinner, while GSU baseball play-by-play man Ryan Chambers hosted a question and answer session with Jones and Broxton on their experiences in professional baseball. Friday’s dinner was the first of its kind for GSU baseball, but after drawing a capacity crowd, Eagle coach Rodney Hennon hopes that it will become a tradition.
