1977 Atlanta Braves season 1977 Atlanta Braves season was the 107th season for the franchise and their 12th in Atlanta. The team finished in last place in the six-team National League West with a record of 61–101, 37 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers . The Braves hit a major league-leading seven grand slams .home and away games were broadcast on WTCG-TV which during the offseason, under its owner Ted Turner , became the pioneer superstation in the United States and thus making the Braves the first MLB team to have its games telecast to millions of television viewers around the country aside from the national broadcasts on ABC and NBC which had been the case before the team's opening series of the season.Offseason Turner's one-day reign as manager Midway through the season, with the Braves mired in a 16-game losing streak , owner Ted Turner sent Dave Bristol on a 10-day "scouting trip" and took over as his own manager. This only lasted for one game before National League president Chub Feeney ordered Turner to give up the reins, citing major league rules which forbid managers or players from owning stock in a team . After the Braves broke the skid under third-base coach Vern Benson , Bristol—who had spent the time at his offseason home in Andrews, North Carolina—was given his old job back for the remainder of the season.Notable events September 15, 1977 - Dale Murphy hits two home runs in an 8–7 win over the San Diego Padres , the first home runs of his major league career.Season standings Record vs. opponents Opening Day starters Player stats Batting Starters by position Note: Pos = Position; G = Games played; AB = At bats ; H = Hits; Avg. = Batting average; HR = Home runs; RBI = Runs batted in ; SB = Stolen bases Pos Player G AB H Avg.
