The Atlanta Braves have entertained fans with many post-season appearances – most of these happening since the team’s arrival in Atlanta.
While we lament that there could have been better results, fans will remember the people and events contributing to shorter second-season stints.
Sometimes this was the result of a performance – good or bad – that determined the outcome of a pivotal game. Sometimes it was a decision or a call that adversely impacted play.
Sometimes it’s even the heroic effort of a competitor from the other side. You might choose to tip your cap to such players – but when they stick in your head for years after the fact, then the Villain moniker somehow seems appropriate.
And thus we present: the Top 10 Thorns in the Braves’ sides in the history of their playoff appearances.
