'83-'84 Off-Season
12/13/1983 - Atlanta Wins Lottery for C Downing
A wave of jubilation swept over Atlanta today as fans and team officials celebrated the signing of Brian Downing. Despite the fact that the Atlanta Braves will have to pay out $2,340,000 over 3 years, he will certainly draw fans to the park. Let's just hope they don't crank up ticket prices! In his 1306-game career Downing is hitting .256 with 1071 hits, 77 home runs, 543 runs scored and 490 RBIs.
