Answer: Sid Bream

Sid Brim began his MLB career in 1983 at the young age of 22 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was not with the Atlanta Braves until eight years later in 1991. 

Brim may have only played three of his twelve seasons in a Braves uniform but that is arguably what he is best known for because of his slide at home plate in a playoff game that sent the Atlanta Braves to the World Series in 1992 where they would unfortunately fall short.
