In 1914, The Boston Braves would win their first World Series Championship. Dick Rudolph went 2-0 in that series with a 0.50 ERA over 18 Innings. Safe to say if there was a World Series MVP that he would have won it right?
David Justice at one time was one of the most recognized sluggers in baseball. A star for the high profile Atlanta Braves, Justice was the star hitter for the perennially playoff-bound team, he was named one of People’s Magazine’s Most Beautiful People (1994) and was married to Halle Barry. The last two might be interesting but it doesn’t help propel him on this rank does it?
Prior to joining the Boston Braves, Bob Elliott was already a proven commodity in professional baseball as he was a three-time All-Star for the Pittsburgh Pirates. His first season in Boston would see him put forth his best individual season as in 1947 he would have a career-high .317 Batting Average with 22 Home Runs and 113 Runs Batted In.
Brian McCann was one of the top hitting Catchers in the National League for a long period of time. From 2006 to 2011 McCann was named an All-Star and in five of those years, he was also a Silver Slugger. He would show off good power with seven 20 Home Run seasons with 176 total as a Brave with 1,070 Hits for Atlanta. McCann’s defense wasn’t always the best (he allowed a lot of stolen bases) but his above-average offense more than made up for it.
