Brian McCann was born on Monday, February 20, 1984, in Athens, Georgia. McCann was 21 years old when he broke into the big leagues on June 10, 2005, with the Atlanta Braves.

"Catcher Brian McCann could land himself a shrine in Cooperstown, N.Y., if he keeps it up, Brian Cashman said. 'If he can continue to do that,' the Yankees general manager said, 'you're talking about a potential Hall of Famer.' ... Manager Joe Girardi also heaped praise on the seven-time All-Star, who hit .256 with 20 home runs and 57 RBI in 102 games in Atlanta in 2013. A catcher who's a capable defender and threat at the plate is hard to find, Girardi said. 'He's an offensive catcher who really has the ability to work a pitching staff,' he said. 'He's a complete catcher. He's a middle-of-the-order hitter. His power in this ballpark should work very well.'" - Sportswriter Brendan Kuty (NJ.com, 'Brian McCann a 'potential Hall of Famer,' Yankees GM Brian Cashman says', 12/05/2013, Source)

Brian McCann Stats by Baseball Almanac |
Brian Michael McCann was a Major League Baseball player who caught games for the Atlanta Braves (2005-2013, 2019), New York Yankees (2014-2016), and Houston Astros (2017-2018). Brian was a seven-time All-Star, and the first Braves player selected to the National League All-Star team in each of his first three full seasons. When McCann won the All Star Game MVP Award during the 2010 Midsummer Classic, he was the second Braves player to receive the honor. Do you remember who was first? [Answer]
Brian McCann Rookie Card | 2002 Upper Deck Baseball Card (#24)Baseball Almanac Research Library
Did you know that Brian McCann (May 17, 2011) and Jeff Heath (August 27, 1949) are the only two players in Major League history to hit a ninth inning game-tying pinch-hit home run and then later win that game with an extra-inning walk-off home run?
Pinch-hit appears above in bold print because in Major League Baseball history, there are more instances of ballplayers who were not pinch-hitting that have hit a game-tying home run in the ninth inning, then the game winning home run in an extra inning of the same game.
Those record setting (non-pinch hitters) are: [C] Donnie Scott (April 29, 1985), [3B] Jim Presley (April 8, 1986), [RF] Andre Dawson (May 8, 1990), [3B] Robin Ventura (June 10, 1998), [RF] Raul Mondesi (April 5, 1999), [1B] Ed Sprague (April 11, 2000), [3B] Aaron Boone (June 14, 2002), [3B] Joe Crede (August 27, 2002) and [3B] Adrian Beltre (August 20, 2004).
Brian McCann won four consecutive Silver Slugger Awards (2008 through 2011) while catching in Atlanta (and a fifth before the streak, in 2006). He is the only Braves catcher to win more than one Silver Slugger [Javy Lopez 1x, in 2003, & Johnny Estrada 1x, in 2004] and one of only two catchers to win at least that that many times consecutively, Mike Piazza holds the record - winning ten consecutive times (1993 through 2002).
Brian McCann won his sixth Silver Slugger Award in 2015, wearing a New York Yankees uniform, making him the first catcher to win a Silver Slugger in the American League and a Silver Slugger in the National League.
When Brian McCann moved from the Braves to the Yankees in 2013, he had to stop wearing his #16 as it had been retired for Whitey Ford (Atlanta Braves #16 History / New York Yankees #16 History), but his walk-up / at bat music stayed the same - DJ Khaled, "All I Do Is Win."
