For 1.944 games, Eddie Mathews played Third Base for the Braves; first the Boston Braves, then the Milwaukee Braves, and then the Atlanta Braves. Travelling for the team as it moved cities in the fifties and sixties. 

And he posted an impressive record; 12 All-Star appearances, two World Series victories, and nine consecutive season with thirty or more home runs. He retired with 512 homers, putting him sixth on the all-time home run record table… today he still sits in an impressive 23rd place.

Mathews is rightly regarded as one of the greatest third basemen of all time.

Let's join him in his golden years. It's 1962 and the Milwaukee Braves are in County Stadium welcoming the New York Mets to their home for the very first time. Mathews is the clean-up hitter, with his legendary team-mate Warren Spahn on the mound.

Sharing the microphone thorugh the game are Lindsey Nelson, Ralph Kiner, and Bob Murphy.
