Matt Olson Hits 50-Home Run Mark, One Short Of Braves Record
Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2023 5:24 am
Matt Olson was raised an Atlanta Braves fan and appreciated the significance of the stars he passed on the way up the franchise\'s single-season home run list. Hall of Famers Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews were among those sluggers left behind as Olson crushed one homer after another in a career campaign for the best team in baseball.
With home run Nos. 49 and 50 on Monday against the Phillies -- the first one launched off the second deck and the second sliced the opposite way to left field -- Olson entered rarified air among Atlanta\'s greats.
