David Justice says Deion Sanders' Braves stint 'was never a distraction'

Once upon a time in Atlanta, Deion Sanders had the sports world in the palm of his hand. In 1992, Sanders, who was already a premier defensive back with the Atlanta Falcons, was playing for the Atlanta Braves. On Oct. 11 that year, Sanders played for the Falcons in their Week 6 matchup against the Miami Dolphins and then hopped on a plane to Pittsburgh for the Braves' Game 5 tilt against the Pirates in the National League Championship Series.
