Both the Carters smiled and laughed as they realized they were on the big screen, with thousands of fans cheering as the pair leaned in for a kiss.
The couple, who have been married for 69 years, looked like they were enjoying the match, even if the Braves did lose 5-0 to Toronto at Turner Field.
They stayed for all nine innings of the game and the former President, who announced last month that his cancer had spread to his brain, signed children's baseballs.
Carter is keeping himself busy despite his diagnosis, taking to a podium at Emery University on Wednesday evening to speak to students.
He shunned a chair which had been set out for him and stood up to speak, branding the seat 'a position of illness and infirmity and age'.
To roars from the crowd gathered at Emory University's Carter Center, he told students he was 'in good spirits' since being diagnosed with melanoma last month.
Evening out: The couple, who have been married for 69 years, looked like they were enjoying the match
Former President Jimmy Carter spoke from a podium Wednesday night as he addressed Emory University students, saying that a chair he was offered was 'a position of illness, infirmity and age'
Speaking to students at the Carter Center, he told them about his melanoma diagnosis, saying he is 'in good spirits' and is prepared for 'anything that comes'
Unafraid to discuss the life-threatening illness in public, he spoke about how tumors had spread to his brain, and the treatment he has been receiving to combat it.
He spoke again about how he has been given radiation treatments and a pioneering new treatment called Keytruda, which helps the body's own white blood cells seek out and destroy cancer.
Despite previously telling supporters it had taken him three weeks to master saying the drug's chemical name, pembrolizumab, he stumbled over the word again this evening.
Speaking about the future, he added: 'I'm prepared for anything that comes. My wife is a little less prepared than I've been, but she's getting on fine.'
Students from Emory, which is affiliated with the center, were encouraged to attend Carter's question session, despite fears it may be called off due to his illness.
