  • Summary

  • In this week's biographical chapter of ballplayers and their stories, the focus is on the baseball journey and life of the great Eddie Matthews. In tandem with Hank Aaron, the duo would become baseball's most lethal power-hitting combo to ever play the game, As the two players developed into the game's prolific power-hitters of the day, the same Braves team that had just fled the city of Boston, for the greener pastures of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, only 5 years earlier, find themselves in back-to-back World Series appearances versus the dynastic New York Yankees. One of the toughest third-basemen to ever grace a diamond, he is the only player in Major League history to play for the Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, setting an enduring legacy, that will surely span generations of time and eras at the Hot Corner. #EddieMatthews #TexarkanaTexas #SantaBarbaraCalifornia #BostonBraves #MilwaukeeBraves #AtlantaBraves #WarrenSpahn #ConnieRyan #FrankRobinson #DonDrysdale #LewBurdette #BobBuhl #BobGrim #BabeRuth #ErnieBanks #JuanMarichal #HarryKalas #DonWert #DetroitTigers #HoustonAstros #JimCampbell #MayoSmith #EddieMatthewsStadium
