Johnny Logan Recalls Old Days at County Stadium
Former shortstop hopes to keep alive memories of the Braves' glory years in the late 1950s
REMEMBER JOHNNY LOGAN, the hard nosed, clutch hitting shortstop of the Milwaukee Braves' glory days?
Like fine wine, Johnny, now 72, has mellowed. He's no longer the itching-for-a-fight battler. Would you believe a sentimental softie?

So one day Logan lay awake in his bed and his thoughts naturally turned to the good old days, but let Johnny fill in the rest.
"I had a dream," said Logan in his sing-song voice. "And I thought that in time anything resembling my old club would be gone from memory. So I thought: `I have to do something to keep those memories alive.' I remembered that people in Boston kept their dreams alive by starting a Boston Braves' historical association.
