The Countdown...

28 was a pretty tough number...would you have preferred Tommie Aaron???

Yeah 28 was very hard. Maybe he would have like Darren Bragg or Joey Devine? LOL!
 
Looks more like the Leyritz HR to me. The spider man catch had markings on the outfield wall.
 
One of the worst trades ever made. It happened before my time but I remember Butler tearing up the Braves when he was with the Dodgers. Skip Caray used to always describe Len Barker as "a nice guy with a bad shoulder." when talking about that trade.

P.S. Actually it's two of the worst trades ever made, Justice and Butler.
 
Lemke never hit much in the regular season but when the playoffs came, especially the World Series, Lemke always came up huge with the bat. Too bad the guys that carried the Braves to the dance party usually didn't show up when we needed it the most.
