The Atlanta Braves will make history on Saturday as they face off with the Reds at a NASCAR racetrack. Bristol Motor Speedway will host one of the largest-attended events in MLB history.
This game has already set records, as more than 85,000 tickets have been sold and eclipsed the former paid attendance record set back in September 1954. This has the potential to be one of the most memorable games in MLB history. The series between both teams has already been exciting, and I don't expect that to change.
With that being said, let's check out all of the ways you can catch the excitement. Whether that be in person, on television, or on the radio.
