Former Atlanta Braves reliever Adrian Devine dies at 68

Former Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Adrian Devine died Saturday after a long battle with cancer. He was 68 years old.

WGCL CBS 46 in Atlanta did a tremendous story a month ago as Devine’s friends came together to show their support in his battle.

Here is the story.

The Braves originally drafted Devine in the second round of the 1970 draft out of Ball High School in Galveston, Texas.

Devine made it to Atlanta first in 1973, pitching in 24 games and making one start. He had mainly been a starting pitcher in the minor leagues, but he quickly found a role as a reliever.
