Eddie Mathews is the only Atlanta Brave to have played in all three cities where the organization was based. This suggests that Mathews had a long career with the Braves, starting when the team was based in Boston, then moving with the team to Milwaukee, and finally playing in Atlanta.

Babe Ruth became a member of the Boston Braves in 1935.

Jeff Francoeur joined Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews as the only Braves to achieve a 100-RBI season before turning 23. This means that Francoeur was able to drive in 100 or more runs in a single season before reaching the age of 23, a feat that only Aaron and Mathews had accomplished previously.

Eddie Matthews was the last active Boston Brave because he played for the Braves from 1952 to 1966, which included their last season in Boston in 1952.

As a pitcher, it is uncommon for players to be used as pinch runners, but in this particular instance, Maddux was chosen for this role.

Joe Morgan said, "Greg Maddux could put a baseball through a life saver if you asked him." This quote suggests that Morgan believes Maddux, a former professional baseball player, had exceptional accuracy and control with his pitches, implying that he could throw a baseball through a small target like a life saver if instructed to do so.
