Come re-live those glory days of the early 90's as the Braves 400 Fan Club hosts the 46th Annual Eddie Glennon Gameboree on January 21, 2012. The theme of the evening's celebration is “Honoring the 1991 & 1992 National League Champions!”. We're pleased to announce that John Schuerholz, President of the Atlanta Braves, will be our keynote speaker. As everyone knows, he was the architect of the team that went from "worst to first" and the teams that started the incredible run of 14 consecutive post season appearances. Members of the teams that won the back-to-back National League Championships in '91 and '92 have been invited to come and share their memories of those days with Gameboree attendees. This page will be updated with the names of players that plan to attend. At this time, Hall of Famer Phil Niekro and former members of the Braves Otis Nixon , Chris Chambliss , Charlie Leibrandt and Pat Corrales have confirmed their attendance.
