Baseball Hall of Famer Phil Niekro and 1973 Masters Champion Tommy Aaron will hand diners a choice of chicken tortilla soup, beef vegetable soup or black-eyed pea and spinach soup along with a salad and biscuit. Attendees may drop in for the mid-day meal from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 19, at First Baptist Church’s banquet hall on Green Street for the food and to see the national and local celebrities.
