Uniform numbers. It’s an interesting study of Atlanta Braves history to go back and look at the players who have worn certain numbers over their careers.
As more numbers are retired over the decades, those progressions of history are stopped and forever thereafter tied to a player of particular prowess.
Tom Glavine’s 47. John Smoltz’ 29. Bobby Cox’s 6. Hank Aaron’s 44. Chipper Jones’ 10. These and others become iconic representations of the best of the Braves in history.
Uniform numbers are not to be taken lightly.
