The face of the Atlanta Braves organization since coming to Georgia for the 1966 season has always been the true home run king Henry Aaron. With all of his insane stats and accolades, however, “Hammerin Hank” only reached the World Series twice. Both of those N.L. pennants came while the Braves were still in Milwaukee, and Hank and crew only won once, which was in 1957.
The ’57 World Series featured four future hall of fame members for the Braves (Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, Warren Spahn and Red Schoendienst) and five for the Yankees (Manager Casey Stengel, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Mickey Mantle and Enos Slaughter).
