For the really old Braves fans: RIP Buzz Capra

A name from the past ... had that one great year in 1974 and led the league in ERA, and he really was that good and had that kind of potential, but unfortunately his arm was already going bad by the end of the season and that's all she wrote.

That sucks. I saw him pitch a couple times back then. RIP

He had good stuff, kept the ball down and had a great curveball. He wasn't knock the bat out of your hands overpowering, but he came after you and he was really hard to hit. He was a relatively little guy (for a pro athlete that is), less than 6 feet tall and weighed in the 160s, and I always wonder if that might have been a reason he didn't hold up physically as a starting pitcher.

If hear something about Dale Murphy, Bob Horner, or anyone on the 1991 dying I will flip tables.

I don’t know if you have seen some recent photos of Horner … he doesn’t look sick but he has not aged well.

Not even a Braves fan, but one of the iconic moments in my baseball memory is when he came out of the clubhouse during the Padres brawl in 1984 and met Champ Summers at the dugout entrance to keep him off Pascual Perez.

I counted John Sterling as the first of three before Turner and Cox, given that Sterling was a full-time Braves broadcaster on TBS in the early-to-mid-1980s
