As a kid that loved the Braves, Fernando was the guy I loved to hate. He was good. He was very, very good.
Any time you turned on the Braves game and he was on the mound, it was a loss. You just knew it. The only question was: will anyone get a hit tonight?
Usually, the answer was yes, but it was only one or two.
He was truly one of the greats of all time.
