Jimmy Carter, Wife Put on 'Kiss Cam' at Braves Game
The former president is battling cancer, but took time to take in a ballgame with his beloved wife Rosalynn.
Former President Jimmy Carter, who told the world in August that he battling cancer that has spread to his brain, was spotted at Turner Field on Thursday as the Atlanta Braves took on the Toronto Blue Jays.
Instead of simply enjoying the game, the 90-year-old former president and his wife Rosalynn got in on the action when the two were put up on the big screen as part of a ‘Kiss Cam’ feature in between innings.
Wasting no time, the couple of 69 years gave each other a big smooch, to the delight of the crowd.
