It's so amazing to me that, Sheffield with all that violence in his swing didn't K hardly at all. Just an amazing hitter. Matthews was such a great teammate and player. Everyone loved the guy!
Sheffield was a nightmare at the plate if he was facing your team. It just always felt like when you needed to get him out he would put it in the left field bleachers. It was fun those 2 years he was with the Braves because he was finally on my team.
