Joey Jay made his major league debut in 1953, becoming the first former Little Leaguer to reach the majors, and later achieved a career record of 99 wins.
At 6 feet 4 inches and 230 pounds, Jay's physical presence was matched by his talent, as he wielded an overpowering fastball, slider, and sinker.
Despite a swift start, Jay faced challenges in the early years, feeling isolated during his time with the Braves, likening his experience to being ignored like a batboy.
Jay's career included significant moments, such as being part of the Braves' pennant-winning team in 1958, although they ultimately lost in the World Series to the Yankees.
