Justin Upton was introduced as a member of the Braves on Tuesday, holding up his new No. 8 jersey at a press conference.

"This is a special day for my family," Upton said. "It's a great opportunity. I'm excited to put this uniform on and play for this organization."

Before attending the news conference, the Upton brothers and their parents, Manny and Yvonne, spent some time in the home clubhouse at Turner Field.

"Nice, unbelievable, unbelievable," Manny Upton said.
