A recurring series celebrating the 25th anniversary of the ’91 Braves
Hard to believe it’s been a quarter century since the best Braves season most of us will ever experience. No one saw it coming, and had JS succeeded in pulling off two rumored deals involving Tom Glavine, the Braves wouldn’t have won their division.
Glavine, entering his fourth year in the majors, had regressed badly in 1990. His ERA rose more than half-a-run from the previous season, his walks nearly doubled and he allowed more than a hit per IP. I doubt many would’ve complained had he been dealt.
