Braves Rewind: Whatever happened to...Ryan Klesko?
We're taking a look at Braves from years past.One player who may not receive as much fanfare of the Braves of the '90s such as Maddux, Chipper, or McGriff, is Ryan Klesko. However, Klesko did more than his share as a member of the Braves.
Klesko debuted in 1992 but didn't become a regular until 1994 when he placed third in the Rookie of the Year voting. That year, he hit .278 with 17 homers and 47 RBI in 92 games.
1995 saw Klesko come into his own as a power hitter, slugging .608 with 23 home runs while hitting .310. In the World Series that year, he homered in three straight road games, becoming the first player ever to do so.
