Torre would have a strong start in baseball, finishing second in the 1961 National League Rookie of the Year voting.  In 1963, he was named to the National League All-Star Team, a feat he repeated for the next five seasons.  Torre would show off power with four straight 20 Home Run seasons (1964 to 1967) with a solid Batting Average, though he would later be traded to the St. Louis Cardinals.

He was named the National League MVP in 1971 and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame as a Manager in 2014.  While he had greater success elsewhere, Torre’s work with the Braves can’t be forgotten.

Herman Long played for the Boston Beaneaters from 1890 to 1902 where he played Shortstop.  Long collected 1,902 Hits for Boston where he had four straight seasons of batting .300 (1894 to 1897) and he overall batted .280 for the team with 434 Stolen Bases.  Long was regarded highly for his fielding and although he is one of four players to have 1,000 Errors it has to be remembered that there were a lot more Errors occurring back in his day and he played at one of the most important defensive positions especially in a ground ball era.  He routinely had better fielding percentages than his peers and many of his contemporaries considered him among the best defensively.  The advanced metrics back that up as he was in the top ten in Defensive bWAR eight times and was the National League leader in 1898.

The Braves inducted Long into their Hall of Fame in 2005.

Hugh Duffy was somewhat of a maverick in early baseball as he bounced from the National League to the Federal League to the American Association and back to the National League in a four year span.  It was the latter that would see him join the Boston Beaneaters, the precursor to the Atlanta Braves.

Freddie Freeman played his first dozen seasons with the Atlanta Braves, where he was shown to be one of the best First Basemen in the National League. 

In 2011, Freeman was the runner-up for the National League Rookie of the Year (losing to teammate Craig Kimbrel), and in 2013, he was named an All-Star and finished fifth in MVP voting when he had a .319 Batting Average with a career-high 109 Runs Batted In.  Again an All-Star in 2014, the First Baseman would have a 34 Home Run season in 2016 and would go on a three-year run in which he batted over .300 each year.  In the year that was broken (2019), he posted career-bests in the power game with 38 Home Runs and 121 RBIs).

Freeman has finished in the top ten in MVP voting four times before the 2020 season, and in the COVID-19-impacted year, Freeman won the MVP while leading the National League in Doubles (23), and was second in all aspects of the Slash Line (.341/.462/.509).  After finishing ninth in MVP voting in 2021 with 120 league-leading Runs and a third straight Silver Slugger, Freeman left the Braves for Los Angeles as a Free Agent

Freeman had 1,704 Hits and 271 Home Runs for Atlanta, and had he played a few more seasons for Atlanta, he would have made the top ten.  Hell, we could make a case that he should have been!
