Answer: Terry Pendleton

Terry Pendelton began his MLB career in 1984 at the age of 23 with the St. Louis Cardinals. From 1991-1994, Pendelton wore a Braves jersey and played third base.

This was not the only time Pendelton made contributions to the Braves organization. Following his playing days, he shared his knowledge by joining Atlana's coaching staff. He may have spent more time with the Cardinals as a player but TP will always be associated with the Braves more.
