Backwards K Pod
Where We Collect Ballplayers And Their Stories

In this week’s biographical chapter of ballplayers and their stories, the focus is on the baseball journey and life, of the great Eddie Matthews.

In tandem with slugger Hank Aaron, the dynamic duo would become baseball’s most lethal power-hitting combo to ever play the game, as the two develop into the game’s premier, prolific power-hitters of the day.

Playing for the same Braves team that had fled the city of Boston, for the greener pastures of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, only five years earlier, the two find themselves in back-to-back World Series appearances versus the dynastic New York Yankees.

One of the toughest third-basemen to ever grace the diamond, he is the only player in MLB history to play for the Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, setting an enduring legacy that will surely span generations of time and eras at the hot-corner.
