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.
