Sports: Atlanta Braves

For the first time in nine years, the New York Yankees leave the Bronx behind to tangle with the ATLANTA BRAVES in a bout of interleague play, with the Yankees representing the American League and the Braves holding it down for the National League. The highly anticipated three-game skirmish Tues.-Thurs., JUNE 23-25, is sure to make for cozily cramped quarters at Turner Field, with All-Star candidates Chipper Jones, Brian McCann and Yunel Escobar leading the Braves charge. Interleague play continues next week when the Boston Red Sox come to town for another trifecta beginning June 26. $6-$80. Tues.-Thurs., 7:30 p.m. 755 Hank Aaron Drive. 404-522-7630. braves.com.
