Hal & Paul,

Wes Covington was with the Braves in 1957 - played left field.

That was a great team –

Wes Covington in left
Henry Aaron in right
Billy Bruton in center
Joe Adcock at first
Red Schoendist at second
Johnny Logan at short
Eddie Matthews at third
Del Crandall – catcher
Warren Spahn – pitcher
Lou Burdette – pitcher

I was 12 years old then and lived a mile from the stadium. Bleacher seats were $0.25 and then we would sneak over to the box seats when we could. Those were great days.
