Atlanta Braves History: Dale Murphy's record for most runs in month broken (1994)

Dale Murphy and Ron Cey owned the record for most runs in a month at 29. Records get broken. On April 29, 1994, Colorado 1B Andres Galarraga sets a new NL record by driving in his 30th run of the month in the Rockies' 6-5 victory over Chicago.

Not a case of easy come, easy go. But it went none the less.

Promise and dissappointment (1994)

Bobbie Cox began his 5th season in 1994 with the Atlanta Braves. The team started with huge promise. Unfortunately, they would end up dissapointing us all.

Many had felt the Braves would win the World Series. It would have been their first since 1957. The prospect of Fred McGriff in the line up for the whole season gave us hope. When we won 13 of the first 14 games, oh man, did we think the promise would come true.

Of course no one could predict a couple of things about this season. Montreal seemed to come out of nowhere. Our pitching was inconsistent. It would have helped to have some timely hitting. AND, playing 162 games might have helped but the players strike hit after 114 games. Atlanta was 6 games behind and when the players didn't come back from the strike, we ended with a 68-46 record. If we had played the whole season, who knows?
