Retiring a number is the highest honor a franchise can bestow, a way of saying that what this person did in a Braves uniform can never be repeated. These are the men whose contributions were so extraordinary that Atlanta decided no one should ever wear their number again.
#3 - Dale Murphy (retired June 13 1994)
Dale Murphy was the heart and soul of the Braves through some of the franchise's most challenging years, winning back-to-back National League MVP awards in the early 1980s and giving fans a reason to fill the seats. He slugged 398 home runs and drove in 1,266 runs as a Brave, doing it all with a quiet grace that made him one of the most beloved players in Atlanta history. Number 3 belongs to him forever, and any Braves fan cave worth its salt has a Murphy jersey hanging somewhere on the wall.

#10 - Chipper Jones (retired June 28 2013) (Hall of Fame)
Chipper Jones was a Brave from the day he was drafted to the day he retired, a rare kind of loyalty that made his career feel like a love story between a player and a city. He hit .303 with 468 home runs and 1,623 RBI across 2,499 games in Atlanta, and he was the cornerstone of a dynasty that defined a generation of Braves baseball. When number 10 was lifted to the sky at Truist Park, there was not a dry eye in the building.

#25 - Andruw Jones (retired September 9 2023) (Hall of Fame)
Andruw Jones was one of the greatest defensive center fielders the game has ever seen, winning Gold Glove awards year after year while also providing serious pop in the middle of the Braves lineup. He clubbed 434 home runs as a Brave and crossed the plate 1,204 times, proving he was just as dangerous with the bat as he was graceful with the glove. Number 25 stands as a tribute to a player who made the spectacular look routine every single night.

#29 - John Smoltz (retired June 8 2012) (Hall of Fame)
John Smoltz did something no other pitcher in baseball history has done quite like he did: he excelled as both a frontline starter and a dominant closer, racking up 213 wins and 154 saves as a Brave while striking out 3,084 batters. He was the ace when the moment was biggest, the pitcher you wanted on the mound in October, and his 1995 World Series performance is still talked about with reverence in Atlanta. Retiring number 29 was a way of honoring a pitcher whose versatility and toughness were simply one of a kind.
Career: 213-155 · 154 SV · 3.33 ERA · 3,084 K · 3,473 IP

#31 - Greg Maddux (retired July 17 2009) (Hall of Fame)
Greg Maddux was the most precise pitcher of his era, a craftsman who made hitters look foolish not with raw power but with surgical command and an almost supernatural understanding of the game. He went 355 and 227 with a 3.16 ERA and logged 5,008 innings, winning four consecutive Cy Young Awards during his time with the Braves. Number 31 is a permanent reminder that intelligence and artistry can be just as overpowering as a 100-mile-per-hour fastball.
Career: 355-227 · 3.16 ERA · 3,371 K · 5,008 IP

Hank Aaron was not just the greatest player in Atlanta Braves history, he was one of the greatest to ever play the game, finishing his career with 755 home runs, 2,297 RBI, and 3,771 hits compiled over 3,298 games. He pursued and broke Babe Ruth's all-time home run record with dignity and courage under circumstances that tested his character far beyond the lines of a baseball field. Number 44 is not just retired, it is sacred, and it will represent the standard of excellence for this franchise forever.

He struck out 2,607 batters and threw 4,413 innings as a Brave, relying on movement, location, and an unshakeable competitive calm to get the job done. Number 47 honors a pitcher who embodied what Braves baseball looked and felt like during its greatest era.
