Braves 400 Club's All-Time Atlanta Braves Team

Catcher - Bruce Benedict (1978-1989)
Joe Simpson, Bruce Benedict, and Michael Marcey - Braves 400 Club President	Until Javy Lopez came along, Bruce Benedict had logged more years as the Braves' starting catcher (six) than anyone else. Now the two are tied for that rank. A two-time National League All-Star ('81, '83), "Eggs", as he was known by his teammates, was not regarded as a strong batter, yet he placed 11th in the league in hitting in 1983. When the Braves won the NL West in 1982, Benedict led the league's catchers with a .993 fielding percentage and hit .389 over the last six weeks when the Braves were struggling to win the title. A 12-year big league veteran, Benedict never played for any team but the Braves. However, he now works for the Mets as their major league advance scout. -- Text courtesy of Gary Caruso, ChopTalk magazine
