It took a lot for Brian McCann to make one more run for his home team in 2019. He took a lot less than he was worth, and in his age 35 season managed to get through 90 games for the Atlanta Braves, including being the catcher of choice for the post-season.
His mantel will overflow with numerous awards:
- All Star appearances in 6 straight years (and 7 of 9)
- Six Silver Slugger trophies
- 2 years in which he received some light MVP consideration
In total, he spent 10 seasons in Atlanta, 3 with the Yankees, and 2 in Houston.
