Who is your favorite brave of all time? Chipper and Maddux are my dogs names and my two favorites. Loved me some Smoltz too. How about you guys? Franceour was a Clemson commit if I believe.

I go way back: a tie between Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn, & Eddie Matthews! Of course, their heyday was with the Milwaukee Braves when they played the Yankees in the World Series in 1957 & 1958 (World Champs in 1957). Only Aaron & Matthews made the move to Atlanta after the 1965 season, but by that time, the team was unable to duplicate their fortunes while Aaron & Matthews were still playing in the their new location. Spahn & Matthews also played for the Boston Braves before they moved to Milwaukee in the early 1950's. Additional Trivia: Eddie Matthews was the only Brave player to play for the Boston, Milwaukee, & Atlanta Braves!

Javy Lopez was my favorite player, and Frenchy was a 4* db commit to us I believe.

I grew up watching all those awesome players play in Greenville, Chipper, Andrew, Klesko, Javy, Justice, watched Michael Jordan play with the Barons, and even got Pete Rose Jr autograph when he played against them. Still pissed the city basically traded a double A Braves team for a single A Boston team.

Too many to list. Broke out my 1991 foam World Series tomahawk. It worked in 95 so maybe it will again. 30 year old foam shows it's age but it's a keeper. Go Braves!

Wow! So many good ones.
Dale Murphy
Chipper Jones
Greg Maddux
John Smoltz
Tom Glavine
Javy Lopez
Ryan Klesko
David Justice
There were so many good ones. Brian McCain was a good one and I wish the Braves had not let him get away. In the 90's I never missed watching a Braves game. In the late 90's and early 2000's I spent Feb and March in Fla. and went to many of the spring training games of all the teams.
