We at Tomahawk Take are excited as all Atlanta Braves fans for Opening Day. To mark the countdown to Opening Day, we are counting down significant players and events in the history of the Braves organization that correlates with the number we are away from Opening Day.
That number today is 70. It brings us to a discussion of positions in the organization’s history. The Atlanta Braves have seen players from every position recognized in the Hall of Fame. However, overall, the shortstop position in the Braves organization has been fairly weak over the years. As evidence, the Braves have had one starter at shortstop in the National League All-Star game over the history of the franchise (Eddie Miller in 1942), while every other position has had multiple starters.
