Caruso, Gary: - Gary Caruso is a graduate of Marietta College and is a product of its baseball program, where he lettered twice as a student assistant coach under the legendary Don Schaly. He also is the co-author of Behind the Plate, the autobiography of former Atlanta Braves catcher Javy Lopez, released by Triumph Books in spring 2012. Caruso is the best-known and most accomplished of modern Atlanta Braves historians. A career sports journalist, he is the author of The Braves Encyclopedia (Temple University Press, 1995) and Turner Field: Rarest of Diamonds (Longstreet Press, 1997). Editor of numerous Braves publications for the last twenty years, he has the unique distinction of having delivered the eulogies for two of the greatest pitchers in history Warren Spahn and Lou Burdette. He also conceived and raised the funds for the Warren Spahn statue that stands in front of Turner Field in Atlanta, and he designed and scripted the popular Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium Mural at the Braves home ballpark. Caruso lives in suburban San Diego with his wife, Lane, and their Boston terrier, Pumpkin.
