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. 

20. Lew Burdette

Lew Burdette was a consistent Pitcher for the Milwaukee Braves where he would win 179 Games for the franchise.  Burdette first became noticed in the 1953 season when he went 15 and 5 and was 7th in ERA.  The hurler remained solid for a couple of years and in the last half of the 50’s he would go on his best run where from 1956 to 1961 he never had less than 17 Wins and in three of those seasons he was the National League leader in BB/9.  Burdette would also win the ERA Title (1956) and the Wins leader in 1959.

17. Tommy Holmes

A member of the Boston Braves for his entire career except for the last one (which was with Brooklyn) Tommy Holmes was one of the most popular players when the team was in Boston. 

16. Wally Berger

Wally Berger was one of 18 starters in the 1934 All Star Game and the other 17 are in the Hall of Fame.  We aren’t necessarily saying that Berger is a Hall of Fame snub, but we will state that the Outfielder was a very good player who at one time was spoken in the likes with some elite talent.
