ATLANTA — Longtime Atlanta Braves scout Paul Snyder has died at the age of 88. The team announced that Snyder died Thursday night. No cause was given. Joining the Atlanta front office in the 1970s, Snyder played a key role in a scouting department that first spotted many of Atlanta's top players, including Tom Glavine, Chipper Jones, Javy Lopez and Andruw Jones. Those players and others scouted by Snyder took lead roles on Atlanta teams that won a record 14 straight division titles from 1991-2005, highlighted by a World Series championship in 1995. He was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame.
