The Best May Bullpen in Baseball, So Far. Braves 5-Padres 1

Last week was my 45^th high school reunion, which I didn’t attend. But I know I have readers from that class, because one friend of mine forwards my missives to another. (Hi, Dennis.) The 1974 team had Hank’s 715^th, of course, but was not otherwise a particularly memorable team, an 88-74 team that fired their Hall of Fame manager, Eddie Mathews, at the All-Star break. Worse for the team, but good for us, they drew under 1,000,000 fans, next-to-last in the National League. Worse, this figure hides the fact that there were a number of really well-attended games leaving a bunch of other games under 10,000 fans.
