	John Olerud BaseballLibrary.com
		Olerud also displayed some much-needed pop in October, hitting a homer against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the Division Series and then two against the archrival Atlanta Braves in the Championship Series.
		Olerud burst onto the national scene chasing the.400-mark with the Blue Jays for much of the 1993 season, but his reticent personality, characterized by his ironic clubhouse nickname, Gabby, expedited his fade from mainstream baseball consciousness.
		Carter was caught by pitcher John Cerutti the same way in 1986.

	Augusta Georgia: sports@ugusta: Ligtenberg helps save the Braves 09/25/98
		But it's a measure of his extraordinary season that Ligtenberg, the Atlanta Braves' closer, is even being mentioned in the same sentence with the words Rookie of the Year.
		Ligtenberg, who was pitching in an independent league three years ago, is the first NL rookie since Todd Worrell in 1986 to collect 30 saves.
		ATLANTA -- Kerry Ligtenberg won't be named the National League's Rookie of the Year.

	AugustaSports.Com: The Augusta Chronicle's Braves Coverage: Braves notebook: Bonilla is ready to be a role player 02/20/00
		That's an apt description because Assenmacher, who made his major league debut with the Braves in 1986 and pitched 3' years in Atlanta before being traded to the Cubs, saw his ERA rise by almost five runs.
		Assenmacher, a 14-year major league veteran, pitched only 33 innings last year, his lowest total since a 33-inning season in 1994, and if he makes the Braves bullpen he'll probably be used in a similar fashion.
		Assenmacher's future with the Braves depends largely on how Terry Mulholland is used.

	Chron.com Astros, Sox step into limelight
		The Astros lost in 1980 to a Philadelphia team that featured Pete Rose, Mike Schmidt and Steve Carlton, in 1986 to a New York Mets team that won 108 regular-season games, and in 1997, 1999 and 2001 to an Atlanta Braves team that had some of the best pitchers of the last two decades.
		Even as the White Sox prepare to meet the Astros on the field, Lindberg said the real obsession for White Sox fans is overtaking the Cubs as kings of all Chicago.
		On the South Side of the City with Big Shoulders, the Billy Goat Curse of Cubs legend is a pansy, and the Bambino who once bedeviled the Red Sox is a blowhard.
