Sports fans are invited to meet Ozzie Smith and the family of Hank Aaron, both hall of famers. Their giant bronze statues will be dedicated in front of the Mobile Convention Center Thursday.

The giant bronze statues of Mobile's Hall of Fame sports heroes will open June 24 at the Mobile Convention Center on Water Street.

Statues of Hank Aaron and Satchel Paige arrived in Mobile July 2 as part of "Hall of Fame Walk."

The Mobile City Council will vote next week on the relocation of the childhood home of Hank Aaron. The home will be moved to a new site in the Toulminville community if the resolution is approved.
