Braves History Thread

[SJ24]

Does anyone else remember when the Baby Braves were taking America by storm?

Obviously led by Frenchy and McCann.

Kelly Johnson
Ryan Langerhans
Wilson Betemit
Blaine Boyer

Were Pete Orr and Jorge Sosa considered Baby Braves?

Who I am forgetting?

Charles Thomas.

Charles Thomas.

He wasn’t on that team. He was also 26 when he came up.

you’d have to be about ten years old not to remember that.

Thomas aka Pumpkin was only there for 2004. Baby Braves was summer 2005.

Right you are. Regardless, let’s take a moment to recognize the legend and his part in arguably one of the best Braves’ trade fleecings of this era.

That team was a legit WS contender, and no one expected it.

The 2005 team wasn’t very good.

Anyone that was a rookie that year. We had a bunch, some were scrubs too I think.

All were scrubs, except for McCann, Johnson, and Francoeur.

Oh, and Betemit.
