% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Eddie Matthews’ long association with the Braves ended on this day in 1966.

He is the only man who played for the Braves in Boston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta. Aaron joined the team in Milwaukee. Spahn was traded the year before the Braves moved to Atlanta for the 1966 season.

His greatest years came in Milwaukee where he hit over 450 HR.

He led the league in 1953 and 1959. He was a huge part of the Milwaukee team that won the NL pennant in 1957 and 1958.

The Braves tied LA for the NL pennant in 1959 but lost a playoff.

Overall, he finished with 512 HR and 1,453 RBI.

Matthews and Aaron were teammates from 1954 to their last year together in Atlanta. Along the way, they were an awesome power duo in the middle of the Braves’ lineup.
