00:00This day in Braves history, Maddox Spahn and a pinch hit record.
00:04The September 21st ledger delivers three interesting Atlanta Braves notes.
00:09A milestone for Greg Maddox, a benchmark from Warren Spahn's Milwaukee years,
00:13and one of the strangest bench usage games the club has ever played.
00:17On September 21st, 2003, Greg Maddox became the first pitcher to win 15 games in 16 straight seasons,
00:25a standard he had shared with Cy Young until that day.
00:27He worked five scoreless in an 8-0 win to secure the mark.
00:32On September 21st, 1959, Warren Spahn logged his 20th win as the Milwaukee Braves beat the Pirates 8-6 at Forbes Field,
00:40continuing one of the most consistent late career runs of any left-hander.
00:44Also on this date, the Braves and Expos combined to use 13 pinch hitters,
00:49with Atlanta deploying 9, an NL record for a 9-inning game in an 18-5 Braves win at Olympic Stadium.
00:55Maddox's run underscores year-over-year excellence, Spahn's mark points to the franchise's left-handed lineage,
01:02and the 1993 carousel is the tactical outlier fans' sight whenever benches grow,
01:08and matchups rule September.
