If your love for baseball is eclipsed only by your impregnable self confidence, listen up. The Atlanta Braves will host open auditions at Turner Field for members of their "game entertainment teams" in coming days. Tryouts for the Tomahawk team will be 5 to 8 p.m. Jan. 23 and 24. These hardy souls are "high-energy, spirited individuals with the ability to engage fans, work within a family environment and perform in front of large crowds," according to a release. Auditions for game entertainment hosts are 5 to 7 p.m. Jan. 28 and 29. These crowd pleasers "must have the ability to interact with fans in the stands and in Fan Plaza. Hosts must be comfortable performing in the spotlight in front of thousands of Braves fans at Turner Field." For these high-profile positions, the Bravos prefer "previous emcee experience."

And finally, tryouts for the Heavy Hitters drum line are 5 to 7:30 p.m. Jan. 30 and 31. These power players perform before, during and after Braves games at Turner Field and should be "musicians with confidence and charisma, a flexible schedule, and the ability to work games in their entirety." Those interested in showcasing their talents should call 404-614-2441 or e-mail Braves.Entertainment@braves.com to set up an appointment. Walk ups will be auditioned first-come, first-served.
