#83 PEPE FRIAS


FAVORITE BRAVES PLAYERS OF THE 1970'S
#83 PEPE FRIAS
ATLANTA BRAVES 1979

Pepe deserves a spot on this list just for having the rhythmic full name of Jesus Maria (Andujar) Frias. Pepe's one year with the Braves was easily the best year of his nine major league seasons. He also managed his only career home run that year (in 1,346 career at-bats) off of John Candelaria and the Pirates on May 2, 1979. The Braves lost that game 10-2 despite Pepe's home run heroics.

I also remember, despite being obtained for his steady glove, Pepe made five errors during his first home series for the Braves against the Reds April 9-11.
