Only an average player on some really bad Braves teams, but somehow he became a favorite of mine and many other hard-core Braves fans.
Rest in Peace Biff. .

If that's not a name for the ages, I don't know what is. Sorta like Spook Jacobs. If he played for the pathetic Padres, no doubt Jerry Coleman would have named him, "the Biffer."

RIP Biff, even sadder is that he is like the 10th player from the 82 pennant winning Braves team to pass away

One from the “all name team” as my friends and I used to call it. But hate to correct you Larry, the Braves did not win the 82 pennant!

Wow, I can't believe that many players have passed from the 82 team...seems like alot. Not a Biff story, but from his last year 1984, My wife and I are sitting in a local San Diego Mexican restaurant and I look over and see Rick Mahler and Jerry Royster having lunch before a night game and they were sucking down the margaritas like they were going out of style. To say they were getting hammered was an understatement. I told my wife that Mahler was not starting that night and Royster was a bench player, so they probably knew they weren't getting in the game. Wrong, Mahler came into the game in relief and Royster pinch-hit. A different time.
