Default Can Anyone Identify These Braves Oldtimers?

Posted By: Dan Bretta

Thanks Bob, I just found some info on Paige's stop in Atlanta. It was in 1969 and he was signed as a pitching coach, but it was more as a PR move to gain an "attraction" to the team in their new hometown. Paige apparently did most of his coaching from his "living room in Kansas City". Signing Paige also helped him fulfill some of his pension requirements.

I would bet that those top photos I posted are from 1969.
