Glavine, Smoltz, Pete Smith, Steve Avery....all developed players.
Smoltz was traded for and the rest were developed.They also had Gant and Justice that came from the farm system.Nixon,TP,Raffy,Bream and Deon were either FA's
or traded for.

DI'd you know that Urban Meyer was drafted by the Braves in the '80s? He played with a lot of the 90s Barves heroes in the minors before getting hurt. Roomed with Marke Lemke. Imagine if he hadn't got hurt and was good enough. Georgians would have had posters of him on their wall. Far out, huh?

I was at UGA in 91...everybody was all-in right after the all star break and watching was a nightly event. When they win the NL everyone went apeshit. I can still name all of the starters and positions on that team.
It was different then because almost everyone I knew were native Georgians that grew up with the Bravos sucking every year. When they turned it around it was epic. People were partying in the parking lots and downtown had kids hanging from the light poles.
The fact that they didn't win it all that year shook my belief in the Almighty to the core. That was our year...it should've happened in '91.
