Baseball Players who Played for Brewers and Braves
There is a good chance that if you’ve found this page then you’re playing the Immaculate Grid.
That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the Milwaukee Brewers and Atlanta Braves.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played on both the Brewers and the Braves.
Henry Aaron
Henry “Hank” Aaron was selected by the Milwaukee Braves in the 1954 MLB season. He quickly became one of the most dominant hitters in baseball history.
Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s long-standing career home run record, hitting his 715th home run in 1974. He finished his career with 755 home runs, a record that stood until 2007. He was a 25-time All-Star, a two-time batting champion, and won the National League MVP award in 1957.
He led the Milwaukee Braves to a World Series championship in 1957 and was named World Series MVP that year. Over his career, he tallied 3,771 hits and had a batting average of .305. Aaron was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982.

Gary Sheffield
Gary Sheffield was a beast on the baseball field and is a beast on the Immaculate Grid. He played from 1988 to 2009, suiting up for eight different teams – Marlins, Dodgers, Brewers, Yankees, Braves, Padres, Tigers and Mets.
Sheffield helped the Marlins snag a World Series Championship in ’97. Over his career, he cranked out 509 home runs (one of 28 players who hit over 500) and had a solid .292 batting average.
Sheffield was a nine-time All-Star, but his multiple stops along his career are what makes him really stand out for this particular game.
BJ Surhoff
B.J. Surhoff, who played from 1987 to 2005, was a versatile player, taking on multiple positions throughout his career, but mainly known as an outfielder and catcher. He played notably for the Baltimore Orioles and the Milwaukee Brewers.
Over his 19-year career, Surhoff recorded more than 2300 hits, 188 home runs, and held a respectable batting average of around .280. He earned an All-Star selection in 1999 with the Orioles, the same year he posted a career-high .308 batting average with 207 hits.
Julio Franco
Julio Franco had an exceptionally long and diverse career in Major League Baseball, playing from 1982 until 2007, with a three-year stint in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball in between. He played for eight different MLB teams, most notably the Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers.
Franco was known for his high contact, low strikeout approach, leading to a lifetime .298 batting average and an impressive .365 on-base percentage. The three-time All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger award winner accumulated 2586 hits, 173 home runs, and 1194 RBIs.
His longevity was remarkable, continuing his career well into his late 40s. Franco’s final MLB season was in 2007 with the Atlanta Braves when he was 48.
