Greg Olson. Braves go from one all star in Olson in 1990 to 14 division titles in a row.

How can Lonnie Smith and his pack of smokes have been excluded thus far??

when I was a kid I had a brief moment where I was convinced that Rufino Linares was going to be an all-star.

I will never be able to forgive Rafael Belliard. Jim Leyritz should never have come to bat that inning.

I remember Terry Pendleton cruising into to second and looking at Lonnie Smith standing on third, like what the fuck?

traded to Expos for Marquis Grissom - good trade

1980 Phillie, so I have some fondness for him. Even though it was only a fluke injury that kept him from trying to murder John Schuerholz.

I always loved to say his name.

Otis Nixon was my next door neighbor in Atlanta for a year or so.

I remember Pedro Guerrero smoking in the dugout as well.

 

[Bubble Boy]

I remember Pedro Guerrero smoking in the dugout as well.

He wasn't a Brave, but Dave "the Cobra" Parker was a dugout smoking fiend. Could hit as well - plus had a bazooka for an arm.

Will be at Braves alumni weekend this weekend.

Went to a Met game in NY when Hank Aaron was in his prime. After every at bat he could easily be seen hiding on the stairway entrance from the dugout smoking a cig or two.

I got Jim Acker's autograph on my glove at a game and then saw Murph hit a homer off Eric Show. Every kid in Georgia wanted to be #3 in little league in the 80s.

I wanted to name my son after him. I always thought he would be an all time great.
