There you go. Let me know what you think and feel free to chime in with your own lineup.
Obviously that’s a strong lineup, but the Braves have been around for a long time. (I still remember them as the Boston Braves.) So there are many other players who might slot in at a suitable spot or two. Johnny Sain as a pitcher for one.

Stewart, I know I have a few Boston Braves. Rabbit Maranville or Fred Tenney for example. I used to play this game called Sports Illustrated All Time All Star Baseball that was published in 1973. The Boston Braves I was sorry to not see there were Joe Adcock and Wally Berger.
