Team management

Matt Walbeck, but he did not last through the season, and was replaced by Rick Albert. To bring stability back to the team, Ingle returned to manage the team for its 2012 and 2013 seasons.

As the team's general manager, Michael Dunn is in charge of the front office staff, while Jim Jones is the assistant general manager.

Team mascots

The Rome Braves have three mascots, Romey, Roxie, and introduced for the 2015 season their "son" Roman. Romey is a tall (six-foot-three-inch), blue, furry humanoid male mascot with yellow hair, while Roxie, who was added to the team after the 2005 season, is five-feet-five-inches tall, humanoid, a lighter blue, and has a large yellow ponytail.
