Mystery man poses as ex-Brave at alumni reunion - Houston Chronicle

The mystery man, wearing No. 8, was never a Brave, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported (Impostor crashes Braves alumni celebration | ajc.com). But that didn't stop him from signing autographs for fans or attending a luncheon to honor John Smoltz, whose number was being retired.

Former Braves manager Bobby Cox eventually asked Greg McMichael, the retired Braves reliever who now serves as the team's liaison to alumni, who the man was. John Sullivan, came the reply.

"I said, 'That's not John Sullivan. I think you've been had,'" Cox said.

When asked when he played for the Braves, the man responded, "1986 or 1987, I'm not sure," Alvarez recalls.

The man was gone by Sunday morning after being confronted by former players.

VERY well played, mystery Brave!
