“The 50 Greatest Players in Braves History” provides readers with mini biographies of the local franchise’s legends. Though the profiles are largely ground in statistical analysis, each one is sprinkled with anecdotal tidbits that transform seemingly inaccessible pro ballplayers into three-dimensional, relatable humans. What makes books like “The 50 Greatest Players in Braves History” so fun is that the players are ranked, and no two readers will agree as to what constitutes a proper categorization. But while Cohen’s ranking of the selected players can be debated ad nauseum, his choice of Hank Aaron for No.1 is indisputably appropriate.
