During the Braves late 80's doldrums, the team actually put together a fairly productive bench of reserve players. These players were dubbed "The Bomb Squad" by former all-star Ted Simmons and charter member of the "BS." For my version of the Bomb Squad, I use the phrase in more general terms for eighteen players the Braves got at the wrong end of their career during that decade.

Career: Eight year career with Baltimore included 25 and 21 home run seasons and appearances in the 1979 and 1983 World Series.

The Bomb squad: A role player and real bomb squad member during his final two years with the Braves. He did manage nine home runs in this role in 1987. His best Brave game was probably a two-homer game against Jamie Moyer and the Cubs on August 20, 1987,
