Right away, most Atlanta Braves fans will register Fred McGriff's name. After registering a league-best 36 home runs alongside a .924 OPS with the 1989 Toronto Blue Jays, McGriff came to the Padres in 1990, and hit an NL-best 35 bombs two years later, making him the first player to lead both the NL and AL in home runs.

In 1993, McGriff came to the Braves, where he played an integral role in the team's 1995 World Series victory.
