A gleaming, spanking-new Gwinnett Stadium opened Friday night to a full house and then some. The minor-league baseball team that used to call Virginia home introduced themselves to their new fans in Gwinnett County, wearing navy blue caps that sported an interlocking red G and a tomahawk, instead of the R that marked their decades in Richmond. Ladies and gentlemen, meet your 2009 Gwinnett Braves. Dignitaries greeted their arrival. Brian Jordan was there among several who played for the parent club — Hall of Famer Phil Niekro and Javy Lopez got rousing ovations, drowning out the polite applause for Greg McMichael, Nick Esasky and Brad Clontz. Longtime Braves announcer Pete Van Wieren came out of retirement to emcee pregame festivities. As the new Gwinnett Braves prepared to take on the old Norfolk Tides, Jordan couldn't believe what he was seeing.
