Braves Trivia

David Justice! :hyper:
I remember watching that game on TV when I was a kid... when we won I ran around the house screaming with joy for a good half-hour.
Wasn't that the year that the next morning's AJC had the word "YES!" in about 100pt font on the front page with a picture Bream crossing the plate?

Yessir.

Along that vein of newspaper headlines...

What explosive word was coupled with the 15-0 score announcing the Braves' 1996 NLCS victory in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution?

[jazzychad]

KABOOM! 15-0

KABOOM! 15-0

Yes sir! That was a cool headline.

The Braves led the National League in attendance in only one year in Atlanta. What was it?

Amazing, isn't it?

Joe Adcock held this record for 48 years until Shawn Green broke it in 2002. What was it?

Most total bases by one player in one MLB game.

[SamtheBravesFan]

Yep yep! Shawn Green's going to hold it for a long long time.

Three Braves players have more than 140 strikeouts in a season. Andruw Jones and Dale Murphy are two of them. Who is the other, who once held the record until Jones broke it?

And I believe you are right.

He was my favorite Brave batter when he signed with Atlanta. First base after him was brutal until Julio Franco and Adam LaRoche came along.

This pitcher, who was once part of a very famous Detroit Tiger team (hint hint), was brought on in the middle of the 1991 season and used as a long reliever. He was quite brutal, only participating in one win and had just four scoreless outings, though he pitched 2 or more innings in each stint. Who was he?

Like Robert Fick?


I will never forget that guy for as long as I live.

John Smoltz?

[SamtheBravesFan]

John Smoltz?

Nope. I'll admit, this one is a little obscure. I wanted to try something harder. The hint is the Detroit Tigers part.

Yep, just like Robert Fick. He was fine during the year, but that incident in the playoffs with Eric Karros, pure thuggery.

Dan Petry, who pitched for the 1984 Tigers
