  1. While with the Braves, Messersmith's uniform had "CHANNEL" instead of his name on the back. He wore #17, and TBS was shown on channel 17 in Atlanta, so Braves' and TBS owner Ted Turner indulged in a bit of marketing.

  2. It's sad what became of Messersmith. He was going to be a superstar for so long.
