Throughout the franchise history of the Atlanta Braves, the team has had players that were among the league’s greats at any given time, whether at the plate or on the mound (or both). One of those greats in his time was Hugh Duffy.
Originally part of the Chicago Cubs, Duffy came to Boston originally with the team in the American Association at the time before signing with the Braves franchise, then the Beaneaters, in 1892 at age 25. Duffy would play 9 seasons with the franchise.
In an era when clubbing even a handful of home runs was a big deal, Duffy topped double digits twice with the organization and hit at least 5 in all but one year in the organization.
