Menke was the Braves last bonus baby. Versatile, always servicable, he reached all-star status after leaving Atlanta.
Everyone loved Pat Jarvis, enough to elect him DeKalb County sheriff. Too bad he turned out to be a corrupt sleaze that wound up in Federal prison.
Seems like here and elsewhere Marty Keough's '66 Braves image is scarce. Well, here is one, in true color.
Captain Eddie: what can you say? Arrived one year too late, but later the Braves' manager when Aaron broke Ruth's record and later a Hall of Famers in his own right.
