FAVORITE BRAVES PLAYERS OF THE 1980'S
#48 TOMMY BOGGS
ATLANTA BRAVES 1977-1982
For a pitcher who was said to have so much promise, Boggs was a disappointing 19-34 for his Braves career (Not to mention his 1-10 lifetime record for the Rangers) To be fair, he did have a pretty good 1980 season, going 12-9 with three shutouts, but overall he was another case of unrealized potential that the Braves pitching staff seemed to have plenty of during the decade.
I almost forgot to mention that Tommy pitched six innings of no-hit ball on September 6, 1982. He was taken out of the game for the seventh and I remember listening to this game on the radio with friends wondering why you would take out a pitcher throwing a no-hitter in the middle of a pennant race! The bullpen got creamed and the Braves lost the game. Tommy finished with the odd pitching line of six innings, no hits, no runs, no decision.
