Braves Card of the Day

Del Crandall

Del is a fine young catcher, and a real competitor. The Captain of the Braves, Del was hampered by a knee and leg injury during the season. Nevertheless, he appeared in 138 games and hit .242. He had 112 hits, and these included 18 doubles, 2 triples and 21 home runs. He drove in 64 runs and scored 60. Del began in baseball in 1948 and first came to the majors in mid-1949 with the Braves, who were then playing in Boston. He lost 1951 and 1952, serving in the Army. He returned in 1953.

Name that player!

A threat to steal at any time. Sonny used his blazing speed to set a N.L. record for rookies by swiping 49 bases in 1966! Coming off an injury-riddled season, Sonny is confident that he can bounce back his batting average.

Who is it?

Vern entered the pitcher's Hall of Fame when he tossed a no-hit, no-run game against the Dodgers in '50. That year was Vern's best in the Majors. He had a 19-14 record, a 3.46 Earned Run Average and led the NL in Complete Games. The sinker-ball specialist started in pro ball in '39 and joined the...

Who is it?

Regarded as one of the top prospects in the Dodger farm system, Jim was traded to the Braves early in '53 before getting a chance to break to the Brooklyn lineup.

Back to the Front! Braves card back du jour...

Johnny Sain

1942 with Boston was uneventful. He won 4 games and lost seven. Then came the war. Three years later he was back in the Braves squad again. Suddenly he blossomed into one of the League's best right-handed pitchers to win 20 games and lose 14 in 1946. Last year his record was better-21 wins, 12 losses and an earned run average of 3.52. Slow starters sometimes finish fast.
