Whether compiling 324 wins, sitting behind a microphone or proudly serving his family, Don Sutton drew widespread respect for the competitive desire that carried him through a highly successful life.
Sutton died in his sleep Monday night, according to his son, Daron. The Hall of Fame pitcher spent most of the past three decades as a member of the Braves broadcast team. He was 75 years old.

One of my favorite Dodgers back when I was a fan.
RIP, Don.
Bless his heart… he NEVER had to endure the SlowJoe / BlowHo insurrection!
I’ve heard the name, but never knew why I know it. Now I know. 🙂
All the Braves iconic broadcasters have now passed. Milo Hamilton, Earnie Johnson Sr., Skip Carrey, Pete van Wieren and Don Sutton 😞
Imagine your last full year of life was 2020.
Sad

My 7th grade history teacher was a man named Jim Roper and he played professional baseball during the depression. He was a sweet and mentoring fellow who regaled us with stories about his life experiences. One of those was that as a young boy, he knew George Washington Carver aka the “Peanut Man.” Mr. Carver would give him and his friends tins of shoe polish made from peanuts. The other story he told about was his time spent with a young Don Sutton as a mentor for the sport of Baseball. I love how history connects us lets us be part of the American legacy.
I remember when I was young I had a crush on him…..RIP ):
Just damn.
God speed Don, you really were solid.
Another stupid Trumper goes to his reward.
