The 1972 Braves' 70–84 season, following on the heels of a hopeful, 82–80 mark in1971, resulted in the in-season firings of bothgeneral manager Paul Richards, on the job since January 1967, andfield manager Luman Harris, who was in the midst of his fifth season as the team's skipper. Richards and Harris were a management team that had worked in tandem for 15 years with theChicago White Sox,Baltimore Orioles andHouston Astros before coming to the Braves.

Atlanta was 18–22 on June 1 when Richards was demoted from GM to special assignment scout; his replacement was another longtime associate,Eddie Robinson, 51, the director of the club'sfarm system.^[6] Harris was fired August 6, with the Braves standing at 47–57 (.452), in fourth place in the NL West Division and 16 games behind theCincinnati Reds. His successor was another internal hire,Eddie Mathews, 40, the team's first-base coach and perennialAll-Star third baseman from its glory days inMilwaukee during the 1950s.^[7]
