Life without Phil Niekro (1984)
1984 brought a whole new course for the Atlanta Braves. It would be a year with Phil Niekro. After two decades, he was now a New York Yankee. He won 16 games with the Yankees. No one on the Braves could match that.
The Braves had an 80-82 record, tied for second in the West. They were 12 games behind the leader. It was Joe Torre's 3rd year as Manager. Having a sub-.500 record wasn't good news for anyone.
