Dave Pursley represents the best of the Braves culture. I can picture him now firing out of the dugout in the 80’s on TBS if a Brave got hurt. Skip would always say “he’s the best in the business folks.” Then, Pete, Don, and Ernie would add more accolades. RIP Dave Pursley.

Dave Pursley has died. A member of @Braves HOF. As trainer, he came with team from Milw. in 66 & remained until 2002. Dave was much more than his clubhouse title. A legendary gatekeeper of the team, as familiar as the tomahawk on that Atlanta jersey. Much loved.@11AliveSports

Heaven gained a good man this weekend. Dave Pursley was an incredible man with a huge heart that had a huge impact on my life. He gave me the opportunity to with with him and Jeff during the 1999 baseball season.

Remembering former Braves trainer Dave Pursley who passed away Sunday night. Pursley was a constant presence, often times sitting close to Bobby Cox, during the glory years. Pursley also endured the tough times back in the 70’s and 80’s. He’ll be missed.

He was an old school trainer who preferred to stay out of the spotlight. His players trusted him as did management. He was a kind man. I got to interview Warren Spahn about Dave one time. What a thrill. Dave’s legacy is large. Prayers up for the Pursley family.

Sad news hearing that Dave Pursley has died. Mr. Pursley was a trainer and longtime employee with the Atlanta Braves. His duties also extended to the Chiefs during the team’s first incarnation in Atlanta, as shown here celebrating with the 1968 NASL Champs (2nd row, 2nd from rt)
