Atlanta Braves Opening Day countdown: 43, quartet
In our countdown toward Opening Day, we hit a day with four former Atlanta Braves that have such unique stories that we include them all!
When trying to decide who to include on the Atlanta Braves Opening Day countdown, sometimes a good story is left on the cutting room floor. Instead of doing that with #43, we’ll include all four of the excellent stories, all players who wore #43 for the Atlanta Braves franchise at one time.
Wes
Wes Covington came up with the Milwaukee Braves in 1956, giving him the earliest debut of anyone we’ll discuss today. He immediately joined what was becoming a very integrated Braves lineup, sharing time on World Series teams in 1957 and 1958.
