Rafael Furcal

Rafael Furcal burst onto the scene with Atlanta in 2000, winning the Rookie of the Year award and then was a constant threat at the top of the Braves lineup for the next 6 seasons. Furcal was a good contact hitter who could steal a base at any time. Furcal’s lowest stolen base total for the Braves was 22 in 2001 where he only appeared in 79 games.

Furcal had a cannon of an arm and was slightly above average at Shortstop. His best season with the Braves came in 2003 where he hit .292 with 10 triples and 25 Stolen bases.

Brian McCann

More from Tomahawk Take

The local kid that everyone loved should be inducted in the next few years after his career ends. Brian McCann was arguably the best catcher in all of baseball throughout his time with the Braves. He was a perennial all-star and silver slugger award winner throughout his years here.

McCann was always good for 20 HR’s or more and at least 75 RBI’s. Not only that, but he was a team leader of many sorts along with Chipper after he took over the full time Catching duties.

Although his playing days may or may not be over. He will always be viewed as an Atlanta Brave, and will assuredly be asked to join the teams Hall of Fame one day soon.
