1973 â With a runner aboard and the Braves already trailing, 2- 0, Dusty Baker makes what The Sporting News will call âthe greatest catch in Atlanta Stadium history,â literally climbing the center field fence to prevent Pittsburghâs Richie Hebner from doubling Atlantaâs deficit with one swing of the bat. Though coming in the fourth inning, the play will later prove pivotal when, thanks to Baker, the three runs finally pushed across by gameâs end gives Atlanta a 3 â 2, walk-off win.
