The good news... The Wilson neck tag and "80" year tag are correct for this jersey.
The bad news... The Braves only wore powder blue on the road, and their road jerseys should say "Atlanta" across the chest (not Braves). Plus the Braves wordmark looks wrong for the era.... it was obviously applied at a later date, and is not original.
So it's a heavily restored jersey. If you have a light table or hold it up to a bright light, you may be able to determine the original number from the stitch holes. If you are able to determine the original number, post it here and I'll let you know who wore it in 1980.
Hope this helps.
