A great baseball guy with a great baseball name.

I remember scouring the yearbook and every guy's bio included him lettering in three sports at Peekaboo High School, but with Buzz, it was baseball all the way.  He even served as a reserve infielder in the minors when he wasn't pitching.

Missed the 1973 post-season.  Had a great head of hair.

Cherry and Buzz! That's a fun couple name. It looks like they didn't make it, though. Buzz's obituary mentions his former wife Cheryl.

Here's a more recent photo of Buzz Capra:

That 1974 season with the Braves was excellent. 16-8, 2.28 ERA.
