ATLANTA (AP) -- Ahh, that name.
No doubt, one of the greatest baseball monikers of all time.
If having such a splendid, awe-inspiring name was the primary qualifier, he'd be enshrined in Cooperstown for sure.
Biff Pocoroba.
The former Atlanta Braves catcher died last weekend at age 66, a loss I couldn't let pass with a mere mention of his modest baseball achievements and a decade-long career spent mostly with some truly awful teams.
Pocoroba, for reasons I will explain shortly, always held a special place in our home. My wife and I actually went on a quest to find him a few years ago - only to discover, sadly, that he had retired from the specialty sausage shop he ran for more than two decades in suburban Atlanta.
