Chris Chambliss
Most people associate Chambliss with the Yankee teams of the 1970’s. However, he was a regular with the Braves of the 1980’s, playing from 1980 through 1986 to essentially end his career.
Chambliss’ best seasons as a Braves came in 1980 and 1982 with a 2.7 fWAR in both years. That was actually close to his peak as a Yankee as well, excepting 1976 (4.1). After 1983, his production declined sharply, and his last three seasons in Atlanta were as replacement-level production in increasingly limited playing time.
Still, the 7 seasons ranks as the longest current streak of first basemen in Atlanta – at least so far – with 5900+ innings.
