Atlanta Braves

Greg Maddux will have his No. 31 retired by the Braves Friday. Which Brave will be next?

Greg Maddux will become the sixth player to have his jersey number retired by the Braves during a ceremony before Friday night's game against the Mets. We want to know what other Braves do you think will eventually earn the honor.

Chipper Jones is an obvious candidate, after spending his entire career with the Braves so far.

Maybe retiring Tom Glavine's No. 47 would help smooth any leftover tensions between the 300-game winner and the Braves, who released him this season.

John Smoltz spent 20 years in a Braves uniform, before bolting for Boston this offseason. He struck out 3,000 batters as a fixture of the Braves' rotation and bullpen.

It's early, but rookie flamethrower Tommy Hanson looks like he's got a very bright future ahead of him.

Home run swing: Prado tied the score at 2-2 with a solo shot in the fifth inning.

There's a lot of hype surrounding young Jason Hayward. Will he be the next great Braves slugger to have his jersey retired?

Bobby Cox has won more than 2,000 games as the Braves manager.
