it's funny you mention Cone , pettite pitched game 5 and beat glavine in that game 1-0 , i guess he was a free agent pick up as well
i'm sure you remember jimmy key , he was a free agent as well who beat greg maddux who turned down yankee $$$ and took turner $$$ after leaving chicago - 1 pig beating another in game 6
do you think the braves win every year w/o maddux during the run in the 90's and 00's?
as for Righetti , he didn't get any rings at all , he was a rookie the same year as Fernando
Pettite , Jeter , Posoda , Rivera , Williams = all homegrown talent
that was the main core of the team and w/o Rivera , i honestly don't know how many we win

Maddux turn down 6 extra million to stay in the NL rather than joining the Yanks. By the way the Braves had already went to the WS twice before signing Maddux.
