Longtime Braves broadcaster and Hall of Famer Don Sutton passes away at the age of 75

2021 is not shaping up to be much better than 2020.

Don Sutton ended his Hall of Fame playing career back in 1988, but his impact on the game of baseball went well beyond that. After playing for five different major league teams an accumulating 324 wins, a career 3.26 ERA, and 3,574 strikeouts, Sutton would go on to work on Braves broadcasts from 1989 all the way through the present (with a short interlude as the color commentator in the late 2000’s for the Nationals), although health issues had greatly diminished the amount he was on the radio in the last couple of seasons.
