There was an accident during tonight's game involving a fan.

We have received confirmation that the fan involved in an accident at this evening's game has passed away, the Atlanta Braves offer their deepest condolences to the family.

We are saddened by the passing earlier today of Dwight Smith, an integral member of our 1995 World Series championship team, the 1989 NL Rookie of the Year runner-up, Dwight enjoyed an eight-year Major League career that included two postseason trips with the Cubs and Braves. Dwight was also a beloved alumni member, and his infectious smile will be missed around Truist Park. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM.

I had n’t talked to him since we left the parade, i just said, ‘ Man, I can talk to you now. ’.

I know the reports are really good, i mean really good. I guess that he’s worked his rear off.

I know Mike Soroka's excited about getting back down here and starting this thing up again, but I know a year ago today, Mike Soroka probably was, too.

This is going to do damage to the game, there’s no question about that. How much ? I guess we ’ll see. I still talk to people who swore off the game after the strike, and they have n’t gone back, you’re going to get folks who are going to be mad, and they ’ll get over it, and you ’ll have some who do n’t care, and they ’ll come back whenever baseball comes back. But on the heels of COVID and people having their lives being altered and not being able to go to baseball games for a year, there’s going to be some hurt feelings.
