The Braves have had Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz combo, but they'll never match the combination of Johhny Sain and Warren Spahn.

Anyone have an idea how many Boston Braves players are still alive.

I saw a post where someone posted the surviving St Louis Browns players.

It will be interesting to see how many Boston Braves players there are.

Alvin Dark - 84
Tommy Holmes - 89
Clint Conaster - 85

Anyone know the exact years that Sain was pitching coach for the teams he worked for?

All I know was that he was the Yankees pitching coach from 61-63 . .

Here are the teams and years Johnny Sain was pitching coach.

1. NY Yankees 61-63 2 WS teams 1 AL Pennant team
2. Minnesota Twins 65-66 1 AL Pennant Team
3. Detroit Tigers 67-69 1968 WS Champs; McLain 31 wins

Perhaps his best jobs as pitching coach was with the Chicago White Sox
He coached the White Sox from 1971-1975
Wilbur Wood 4 time 20 game winner also threw over 300 innings for 4 seasons
Jim Kaat a 2 time 20 game winner
Stan Bahnsen a 1 time 20 game winner

5. Atlanta Braves 77, 85-86;

Could not agree more! "Spahn and Sain, pray for rain" will be around forever.
