He upped that home run total to 32 one year later, and eventually (in 1952) was promoted to the big league club. bodyOffer(18597) Mathews struggled a bit his first season, leading the National League in strikeouts, though he continued to show power with 25 homeruns. In 1953, the year the Braves moved to Milwaukee, Mathews led the league with 47 homers. Over the next six seasons, he continued to scorch the ball, and won a World Series along the way. From 1954 - 1957, Mathews had at least 37 homers and 95 RBI each season. In the world championship season of 1957, he hit 32 dingers and 94 RBI to go along with a .292 average.

Born on October 13th, 1931 in Texarkana, Texas, Edwin Lee Mathews career in baseball began early and received support from both of his parents. Transplanted to Santa Barbara, California during the Depression, Mathews was taught to play ball by his father, a minor league player and his mother, who proved to be an able pitcher. The Mathews's reputedly realized that they had a future star on their hands when as a 6-year-old he nearly knocked his mother off the mound with a line drive. By 1949, Mathews, who had been widely recruited, earned his high school diploma and first professional baseball contract on the same day. Mathews signed with the Braves and played on the team's minor league fields until making his debut in the big leagues in Boston for the 1952 season, their last in that city. Mathews helped the Braves bid Boston a proud farewell with 25 home runs and stellar performances on third base.
