Question:why the braves where the number 33 on their sleeve
Answers:
Oliver Perez is the key man for the NY Mets. Who is the key man on your fave team?
Its to honor Lew Burdette and Johnny Sain who both passed away during the offseason. Both were pitchers and both wore the number 33. Lew Burdette used to be a pitcher, I believe in Milwaukee, and pitching coach for the braves in its early years. Most people remember Burdette by his awesome pitching in the 57 world series. Sain pitched for the Braves in 1942. Sain pitch along side Warren Spahn. Spahn and Sain were the two aces the braves had in the late 40's. Also Sain as the first Brave to have 3 consecutive 20 win seasons. Sain was part of the Boston Braves team.How's this for Major League Baseball?
My fellow Mike is correct. What is ironic, and I didn't know this until I looked it up, is that apparently they were traded for each other.Have you ever been on the tour of Fenway Park and got to meet legends from Red Sox past?
