Richard Kipp Behenna (born March 6, 1960 in Miami, Florida) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the Atlanta Braves in 1983 and the Cleveland Indians from 1983 to 1985. Rick was part of one of the worst trades ever made by the Braves. In that trade, the Braves dealt Behenna, third baseman Brooks Jacoby, and center fielder Brett Butler to the Indians for their former ace, Len Barker. Barker, unfortunately, had a sore arm and was never productive for the Braves. Despite the end of his mlb career, Behenna remains active in the game as the owner of a collegiate baseball team that plays in the summer. The Newnan Braves play in the Great South League.[1]
