Braves Rewind: Whatever happened to...Marquis Grissom?

One of the most lasting images of the 1995 World Series is Marquis Grissom clutching the final out in Game 6.

Grissom came to the Braves that April in a trade with the Montreal Expos in exchange for outfielders Roberto Kelly and Tony Tarasco, and pitcher Esteban Yan. He'd have a career year in 1996 by hitting .308 with 23 home runs while also winning his fourth straight Gold Glove Award.

In 1997, the Braves traded Grissom along with David Justice to Cleveland for Kenny Lofton and Alan Embree.
