DANVILLE, VA- The Danville Braves kick off an exciting six-game homestand on Saturday that will feature classic favorite promotions, as well as some events that will bring some new flair to Dan Daniel Memorial park.
On Saturday, July 26th, the D-Braves are pleased to announce "Mayberry Deputy Night." The Mayberry Deputy from the Andy Griffith Show will be here at Dan Daniel Park an hour before the game and will be signing autographs and taking pictures throughout the game.
