On a day when much of the country was asking who the next president will be, the Braves turned their attention to a president of the past. Former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, were welcomed to the site of the Braves' new stadium, SunTrust Park, earlier today.

Donned in safety gear complete with the Braves' logo, the former president and Mrs. Carter got a sneak preview of the still-under-construction stadium. The couple are loyal Braves fans and, even more notably, Kiss Cam megastars.
No word as to whether or not the Carters will be asked to give the new park's Kiss Cam a trial run.
