This is the story of the oldest continuously operating professional sports franchise in America. It's a story not only a great teams (the 1914 'Miracle' Braves, the 1995 World Champs) and great ballplayers (Aaron, Spahn, Niekro, and Murphy), and memorable managers and pleasant stadiums, but also a story of heartbreaking losses and long pennant droughts.

 

It's the story of the Braves and their ancestors - the Red Stockings, Beaneaters, Doves, Rustlers, and Bees - and their wanderings from Boston to Milwaukee and Atlanta and, in a way, it's also the story of professional baseball in America.

 

In fact, the franchise that started as the Boston Red Stockings in the 1870s and is now known as the Atlanta Braves, is the only one of today's 28 Major League franchises to have fielded a team every season professional baseball has been in existence.
