It's kind of a shame that John Smoltz pitched that one last season in Boston, as they all could have gone in as one class.

That would have been even cooler.

Thomas was not good enough to be a Brave!

I'm kidding. I'm kidding!

I didn't realize until yesterday that Tony Larussa played nine games for the Atlanta Braves in 1971, as a second baseman, going 2/7 with one run scored. He thus joins Joe Torre, who starred with Atlanta and later managed them to the 1982 Division title, and of course Cox, Maddux, and Glavine as ex-Atlanta Braves. Only Thomas is going into the HOF with no Braves' history.
