Mr. Bill Bartholomay, Atlanta Braves Chairman of the Board Emeritus, issued the following statement regarding the passing of Warren Spahn:
I am truly saddened by the passing of Warren Spahn. His many records, compiled mainly as a Boston and Milwaukee Brave, reflect his Hall of Fame career. He was one of the great pitchers of all-time, but, more importantly, he was a great and true friend. On behalf of the entire Braves organization, I extend our sincere condolences to his entire
family.
