Today is the day pitchers and catchers report for the Atlanta Braves.
In celebration of this joyous occasion, here is former Bravo southpaw phenom Steve Avery wearing a baseball jersey that strongly resembles the Montreal Canadiens’ iconic sweater.
I think any Met fan that witnessed Tom Glavine gag up seven runs in the first inning of New York’s win-or-go home loss to the Florida Marlins on Sept. 30 2007, would argue vehemently against his inclusion to ESPN’s Top 100 list.
Old Hoss Radbourn certainly did.
“#93: T. Glavine. Milquetoast lefty with a strike zone larger than E. Gregg. Not a bride or bridesmaid but rather the groom’s ugly sister.”
R.I.P. Pascual Perez.
Glenn Hubbard clearly had an off-season job as a carnival snake charmer.
I don’t think you’d catch Dan Uggla in this type of pose.

Anyone who had TBS Superstation during the late 80s undoubtedly has fond memories of watching Jeff Blauser man the infield at Fulton County Stadium.

Last Monday was Presidents’ Day.
Today is El Presidente Day.
The Lego hair on Denny in this photo is completely unrivaled.

30/30 club, cartoonish muscles, well-groomed mustache, cool armbands… What wasn’t there to love about Ron Gant?

In an era of baseball tainted by extreme drug use, Murphy was one of the good guys.
I personally think it’s a crying shame he isn’t in the Hall of Fame, but someone of ill repute such as Kirby Puckett in enshrined in Cooperstown.
Maybe I’m partial to Murph because he’s a natural lefty who batted and threw right-handed like myself.
On a lighter note, how did the Braves get away with ever using that logo?
