ATLANTA -- Tim Hudson was a Braves fan long before he compiled the fifth-most wins and starts in Atlanta history. His childhood memories include the many days and nights he spent listening to Skip Caray and Pete Van Wieren, the two legendary broadcasters who significantly influenced the path Joe Simpson has traveled over the past quarter century.
Hudson and Simpson's contributions will be celebrated later this month, when they become the latest inductees into the Braves' Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony will be staged on Jan. 27, during a gala at the Battery's Coca-Cola Roxy Theater.
