1955 Milwaukee Braves Jersey

[justbaseball]

Can anyone give me any information about a Bucky Walters coaching with the Braves in 1955. His Braves Jersey is on ebay but i'm unable to find any info on him with the Braves in this time period....Thanks

He ended his playing career with the Braves in 1950.

From wikipedia - "Following his retirement as a player, Walters coached for the Braves and Giants through 1957. He was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 1958."

Hope that helps

Vintage, I must be Blind, how come i can't find anything on him in the 55 Braves roster. Charlie grimm was the manager, but can't find anything on coaches!

[Vintagedeputy]

could be that he was a roving minor league coach, or spring training coach.

don't you think the description should note that?

[Vintagedeputy]

Only if the seller is aware of that. He may not know.
