20. David Justice -arrived as Murph's replacement in '90 a patient line-drive machine. His yearly results were oddly inconsistent, though he was never less than good. Some years he'd hit in the .250s, others well over .300. Many fans disliked his arrogance, and he'd hear boo birds when he struggled.

Of course, he struck the decisive blow to deliver (along with Glavine, another boo bird target of fans for a decidedly different reason) the Braves' only WS title in the 63 seasons between '57 and '21. Moved on to the AL, where he had several more good seasons and bowed out with the Moneyball A's.
