Braves players Jeff Francoeur and Brian McCann are on deck for the upcoming third annual “Bets for Pets” event, benefiting the Homeless Pets Foundation.
The casino-themed event, planned for 8 p.m. to midnight Nov. 17 at the 755 Club at Turner Field, is hosted by Atlanta Braves Manager Bobby Cox and his wife, Pam.
Guests will enjoy black jack, dice and roulette and a silent auction and a live auction of memorabilia from Francoeur, John Smoltz, Chipper Jones and others.
Will you be there? :)
Original story, plus pictures.

I wish that picture of Brian and Jeff was bigger. At least it's new, or at least I've never seen it. So cute!

I have a larger version from the 07 Braves Pet Calendar…I'll be posting it in my column at Chop Nation tomorrow. :)

You look adorable in the Chipper pic and very Ringwald-esque. Chipper on the other hand looks horrible. Something about his smile is super creepy.

"WHAT ABOUT PROM, BLANE?!" haha. I got a lot of Molly Ringwald comparisons back then. :)
And yeah… he didn't make any fans that night in my family. Such a shame when good rookies don't treat fans nicely at a charity event. You lose them forever.

Speaking of good rookies. I was at the Rockies game last Thursday and Freddie Freeman literally jumped up in the stands and signed for every single person that lined up down there around here, and there were a ton of people. I already loved him, but he just bumped up huge points after that!!!

That's sweet – I've never heard a story like that about Freddie. Thanks for sharing!
