Major League Baseball's Atlanta Braves will honor recently crowned WEC bantamweight champion Brian Bowles next week during their game with the San Diego Padres, the WEC today announced. Bowles, a Braves fans and native of Athens, Ga., recently dethroned the seemingly indestructible Miguel Torres to win the title at WEC 42. Bowles, who will start the Aug. 25 game with "play ball!" duties, will also be at Turner Field to meet with fans. Source: MMA Junkie
