Joseph Paul 'Joe' Torre's plaque would not exist had his brother not told him to learn to catch. The rest is Atlanta Braves history.
Frank Torre was 8½ years older than Joe and had signed with the Milwaukee Braves in 1950. Joe visited his brother in 1951 when Frank was playing first base for the Denver Bears, and his SABR bio uses a quote from his book Cashing the Dream to imply he liked the food there more than he should.
I went to Denver as something of an average-sized 10-year-old and came home a little more than a month later as an 11-year-old blimp.
