This Day in Braves History: Atlanta trades Jeff Francoeur to the Mets

1970 - Reds shortstop Woody Woodward hits the only home run of his career off Ron Reed, but Atlanta prevails in Game 1 of a doubleheader 11-9. Cincinnati wins the nightcap, 3-1 as Pat Corrales’ long fly ball glances off the glove of Hank Aaron for a home run. Pete Rose had fits in the win.

1971 - Willie Stargell hits his 30th home run of the season in a 5-4 Pirates win over the Braves. The homer was Stargell’s 10th against Atlanta.

2009 - The Braves trade Jeff Francoeur to the Mets in exchange for outfielder Ryan Church.
