The Atlanta Braves World Series trophy tour made a stop at Sweetland Ampitheatre on Saturday, and LaGrange College was well-represented.
LaGrange College baseball players served as volunteers, and their head coach, David Kelton, was in attendance with his family.
Kelton finished his professional career as a member of the Atlanta Braves' organization.
At the start of the event, LaGrange College's baseball team was recognized for its remarkable season that included an appearance in the NCAA Division III World Series.
LaGrange College won a fifth consecutive USA South championship before winning an NCAA regional and super regional to reach the World Series for the first time in program history.
LaGrange College went 2-2 in the World Series and finished tied for third out of eight teams, and both of its losses came to national-champion Eastern Connecticut.
Also on Saturday, LaGrange College athletic trainer and Senior Woman Administrator for athletics Janet Lin helped organize things as a key volunteer.
Phil Williamson, the long-time coach and director of athletics at LaGrange College, was at the event as well and got his photo taken with the trophy. Coach Williamson was a member of the LaGrange College family for close to 50 years.
The trophy tour, which is celebrating the 2021 World Series title, has made stops across the Southeast.
