This Day in Braves History: July 18
1961 - Hank Aaron, Joe Adcock and Joe Torre pull off a triple steal in the sixth inning of a 12-8 win over the Reds. It was Aaron’s first career steal of home.
1993 - The Braves acquire first baseman Fred McGriff from the San Diego Padres in exchange for Melvin Nieves, Vince Moore and Donnie Elliott. McGriff would debut two days later and homer in his first game to lead the Braves to a win over the Cardinals in a game that was delayed due to a fire in the press box at Fulton County Stadium.
