ATLANTA — Iconic Atlanta hip-hop duo OutKast will be honored at Truist Park on Thursday as the Braves host the Philadelphia Phillies. The Braves have planned a celebration cooler than a polar bear’s toenail.
The team will give the first 15,000 fans an OutKast bobblehead featuring group members Big Boi and André 3000 wearing Braves gear cruising in a signature red Cadillac.
Additionally, Big Boi will be on hand to throw out the first pitch before the game.
