NORTH PORT, Fla. (AP) Nothing like a little encouragement from Hammerin' Hank himself to show the way at spring training for the Atlanta Braves.

The Braves welcomed Hall of Fame slugger Hank Aaron to their first full-squad workout and named a street for him at their new complex Tuesday, starting off a season full of high expectations.

"It's awesome, we're so appreciative," manager Brian Snitker said. "We talked in the winter of him coming down. I told the guys and Hank we'd like to have him around more."
