Historical Milestones
The Atlanta Braves are a Major League Baseball that plays in the National League East division. The Braves opened a new ballpark in 2017 called SunTrust Park which is located northwest of downtown Atlanta in a neighborhood of Cumberland in Cobb County. The franchise was initially established in 1871 and took on many iterations throughout Boston. In 1953 they moved to Milwaukee, where they played for 13 years, before moving to Atlanta in 1966.
Throughout the history of the franchise, the Braves have won 17 NL pennants and three World Series titles. The best player in franchise history, and maybe in MLB history, was Hank Aaron. Hammerin’ Hank is still considered by many the home run king in baseball, as he hit 755 home runs in his career to go along with an incredible 2,297 runs batted in and 3,771 hits. Aaron won the 1957 World Series with the Braves along with fellow Hall of Fame teammates third baseman Eddie Matthews and pitcher Warren Spahn. Other great Braves players that did not win a World Series with the team, included slugger Dale Murphy and knuckleballer Phil Niekro. The best run of success for the Braves since they moved to Atlanta came in the 1990s and going into the early 2000s. The Braves featured a great starting rotation of three future Hall of Famers in John Smoltz, Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine and a lineup with another future Hall of Famer in Chipper Jones as well as the great center fielder Andruw Jones. That team owned their division for over a decade winning 11 straight NL East division titles from 1995 to 2005. During that span, the Braves made the World Series in 1995, 1996 and 1999 but only won once in 1995.
Now the Braves have an exciting young team with players like Dansby Swanson, Ronald Acuna, and Ozzie Albies as well as solid veterans like Freddie Freeman and Nick Markakis that are pushing to start another dynasty in the NL East.
