Think about some of the great pitchers that have come along within the Atlanta Braves system as well as in the major leagues. Then think about the ones that have left a huge mark on baseball history – Sandy Koufax, Randy Johnson, Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Bob Feller, Bob Gibson, Walter Johnson, Roger Clemens and how about that guy named Cy Young.
Braves? We’ve had a couple! Warren Spahn, Greg Maddux, John Smolz, Phil Niekro, Tom Glavine, Tim Hudson, Craig Kimbrel, how about Lew Burdette!
One pitcher who left a mark on baseball history had signed to ‘pitch’ for the Braves, but never saw game action in a Braves uniform.
