56 Braves

[Theoldprofessor]

Has to be the whole bunch of them. In about a year the'll eat up the Yanks. Start with HOFers Aaron, Spahn and Mathews, and near misses Billy Bruton. Players famous from past deeds -- Bobby Thomson, and from past cards -- Andy Pafko --- and deeds to come --Chuck Tanner -- and deeds ongoing -- Gene Conley with the Braves and the Celts. Players with small roles to play -- ask Harvey Haddix who Joe Adcock is -- and larger roles -- That's OUR Ernie Johnson out there, with plenny of fine seats still available. Or great nicknames (Johnny "Yatcha" Logan), ("Saliva Lou" Burdette, from his some town Selva W Va. and his reputation as a wet thrower), and just the ordinary guys (Danny O'Connell, who would die too young), Delmer Wesley Crandell a fine catcher for a lot of years, Bob Buhl, too good to be forgotten, and yet never in anybody's pantheon. And the other Torre, Frank. And if I left anybody out, I apologize. One of the best teams of the decade.
