Top Ten Braves Moments


















As Spring Training gets started here are my Top Ten Atlanta Braves video moments of all time:


10. An amazing play by one of my favorite players and probably the best center-fielder in Braves history, Andruw Jones




9. Part of that amazing "Worst to First" season in 91, three pitchers combined for a no-hitter




8. As a kid I loved to watch Bob Horner hit home runs. Here is his most historic moment.




7. The Braves made history in 1982 beginning the season with an unprecedented 13 game win streak. This longer video includes manager Joe Torre. 




6. My favorite Braves player of all time (besides Hammerin' Hank of course!) Chipper Jones has many highlights to choose from in his Hall of Fame career. Here is just one of the walk-off homers in his final season.




5. Greg Maddux is the best pitcher to ever wear a Braves uniform. Here he is shutting out the Yankees in the World Series.



4. Tom Glavine, like his Hall of Fame teammate Greg Maddux had his own shining moment in a World Series. This was the clinching game of the 1995 World Series.




3. The famous Sid Slide that sent the Braves to the 1992 World Series




2. The moment Braves fans remember around the world…winning the 1995 World Series! Brings a tear to my eye.




1. What else? The most iconic moment in Braves history by my favorite baseball player of all time and the greatest Brave of them all, Henry Aaron. This April will be the 40th anniversary of this historic moment.





I know I left out many great moments. Too bad I couldn't find a John Smoltz video to include. If you think of something great I forgot please let me know. Anyway, here's to a great 2014 season and Go Bravos!
