Braves Baseball Blog

Johnny Sain was definitely a good one.  He and Warren Spahn formed a duo that helped lead the Braves to the National League pennant in 1948.  In that season, Sain won 24 games with an ERA of 2.60.  It was his third straight 20 win season and he’d win 20 games one more time in 1950.  He was also stellar in the 1948 World Series when he threw seventeen innings and gave up only two runs and nine hits.  In 1951 he was traded to the Yankees, where he helped the team win three World Series.
