The great debate: Atlanta Braves’ greatest shortstop of All-Time

Related Topics: Atlanta Braves

The Braves have had 147 “shortstops” in their history. Those are just the ones listed on their history tab on the Atlanta Braves site. That doesn’t include utility guys or players that played some at short. We’ll stick to that 147 for this exercise.

The shortstop position is key to the middle infield and key to a defense in baseball. The guy that mans the shortstop location has to be counted on numerous times.

If you think about the Braves history, we’ve had some pretty solid shortstop in our day.

The longest tenure with the Braves organization is Rabbit Maranville as he was with the Braves from 1912-1920 and 1929-1935…a total of 15 years.
