This Day in Braves History: Atlanta acquires Gerald Williams from Brewers
Briefly

In 1970, Rico Carty sustained a knee injury during a Dominican League game, resulting in his absence from the entire 1971 MLB season, significantly impacting the Braves roster.
The Braves made a notable trade in 1997, acquiring outfielder Gerald Williams from the Brewers, who contributed significantly in his two seasons with a solid .286 batting average.
In 1934, the National League permitted night baseball, allowing teams to install lights and enabling them to play up to seven night games, a decision that transformed the sport.
The introduction of the Designated Hitter was proposed in 1928 to enhance game speed, highlighting an early recognition of the necessity for change in baseball's pace.
