The power-hitting third baseman Eddie Mathews is best remembered for his years playing with the Braves during the 1950s and 1960s in Boston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta. No other player represented the team in all three of its home cities. In 1954, Mathews appeared on the cover of the first issue of Sports Illustrated. Mathews and fellow Braves Hall of Famer Hank Aaron hit the most combined home runs of any teammates in baseball history, surpassing Yankees duo Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig |
