The Milwaukee Braves brought up Phil Niekro from the AAA team in 1964. Lew Berdette pitched three complete games in the 1957 World Series against the Yankees. Two of those games were shutouts.

Right on!!! Most people think it was Hoyt Wilhelm, but of all of the teams he played for, Milwaukee was not one of them. Wilwaukee's ace for many years was Warren Spahn, along with Johnny Sain. However,when I was a kid,,, everybody wanted to throw a knuckleball like Wilhelm. Ah, for the good old days of baseball!!!
 
Chase Elliott won the NASCAR race today. He's from Georgia and a Braves fan so that means the Braves win today too, right?
 
The Braves finally score! Granted, it was on a based loaded walk to Newcomb - the worst hitting pitcher in baseball.
 
20-year-old Acuna became the youngest player in baseball history to hit a grand slam in a postseason game. Prior to tonight, Mickey Mantle was the youngest to hit a grand slam, doing so at the age of 21 in the 1953 World Series.
