The '''Atlanta Braves''' are an American [[professional baseball]] team based in the [[Atlanta metropolitan area]]. The Braves compete in [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) as a member club of the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL) [[National League East|East division]]. The Braves were founded in [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]], in 1871, as the '''Boston Red Stockings'''.  The club was known by various names until the franchise settled on the '''Boston Braves''' in 1912. The Braves are the oldest continuously operating [[Major professional sports teams of the United States and Canada|professional sports franchise in North America]].<ref name="BravesHistory">{{cite web|title=Story of the Braves|url=https://www.MLB.com/braves/history/story-of-the-braves|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=Braves.com|access-date=February 18, 2019|archive-date=March 23, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190323075204/https://www.mlb.com/braves/history/story-of-the-braves|url-status=live}}</ref>{{efn|The Cubs are a full season older as they were originally founded as the Chicago White Stockings in 1870.

After 81 seasons and [[1914 World Series|one World Series title]] in Boston, the club [[relocation of professional sports teams|moved]] to [[Milwaukee|Milwaukee, Wisconsin]], in 1953.

The [[Cincinnati Red Stockings]], established in 1869 as the first openly all-professional baseball team, voted to dissolve after the 1870 season. Player-manager [[Harry Wright]], with brother [[George Wright (sportsman)|George]] and two other Cincinnati players, then went to [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]], at the invitation of Boston Red Stockings founder [[Ivers Whitney Adams]] to form the nucleus of the ''Boston Red Stockings'', a charter member of the [[National Association of Professional Base Ball Players]] (NAPBBP).<ref name="BravesHistory" />

The original Boston Red Stockings team and its successors can lay claim to being the oldest continuously playing team in American professional sports.<ref name="BravesHistory" /> The only other team that has been organized as long, the [[Chicago Cubs]], did not play for the two years following the [[Great Chicago Fire]] of 1871. Two young players hired away from the [[Rockford Forest Citys|Forest City club]] of [[Rockford, Illinois]], turned out to be the biggest stars during the NAPBBP years: pitcher [[Albert Spalding|Al Spalding]], founder of [[Spalding (sports equipment)|Spalding]] sporting goods, and second baseman [[Ross Barnes]].

Led by the Wright brothers, Barnes, and Spalding, the Red Stockings dominated the National Association, winning four of that league's five championships. The team became one of the National League's charter franchises in 1876, sometimes called the "''Red Caps''" (as a new Cincinnati Red Stockings club was another charter member).

Although somewhat stripped of talent in the National League's inaugural year, Boston bounced back to win the 1877 and 1878 pennants. The Red Caps/Beaneaters were one of the league's dominant teams during the 19th century, winning a total of eight pennants. For most of that time, their [[manager (baseball)|manager]] was [[Frank Selee]]. Boston came to be called the ''Beaneaters'' in 1883 while retaining red as the team color. The [[1898 Boston Beaneaters season|1898 team]] finished 102–47, a club record for wins that would stand for [[1993 Atlanta Braves season|almost a century]]. Stars of those 1890s Beaneater teams included the "Heavenly Twins", [[Hugh Duffy]] and [[Tommy McCarthy (baseball)|Tommy McCarthy]], as well as "Slidin'" [[Billy Hamilton (baseball, born 1866)|Billy Hamilton]].

The team was decimated when the [[American League]]'s new Boston entry set up shop in 1901. Many of the Beaneaters' stars jumped to the new team, which offered contracts that the Beaneaters' owners did not even bother to match. They only managed one winning season from 1900 to 1913 and lost 100 games five times. In 1907, the Beaneaters temporarily eliminated the last bit of red from their stockings because their manager thought the red dye could cause wounds to become infected, as noted in ''The Sporting News Baseball Guide'' in the 1940s.<ref name="bgbraves"/>

The American League club's owner, Charles Taylor, wasted little time in adopting [[Boston Red Sox|Red Sox]] as his team's first official nickname. Up to that point they had been called by the generic "Americans". Media-driven nickname changes to the ''Doves'' in 1907 and the ''Rustlers'' in 1911 did nothing to change the National League club's luck. The team became the ''Braves'' for the first time before the [[1912 Boston Braves season|1912 season]].<ref name="bgbraves">{{cite news |title=Ward Wants His Team to be Called the "Boston Braves" |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/24553764/ |first1=T.H. |last1=Murnane |newspaper=[[The Boston Globe]] |date=December 21, 1911 |access-date=February 21, 2020 |archive-date=April 23, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210423003929/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/24553764/the-boston-globe/ |url-status=live}}</ref> The president of the club, John M.

Two years later, the Braves put together one of the most memorable seasons in baseball history. After a dismal 4–18 start, the Braves seemed to be on pace for a last-place finish. On July 4, 1914, the Braves lost both games of a doubleheader to the [[1914 Brooklyn Dodgers season|Brooklyn Dodgers]]. The consecutive losses put their record at 26–40 and the Braves were in last place, 15 games behind the league-leading [[1914 New York Giants season|New York Giants]], who had won the previous three league pennants. After a day off, the Braves started to put together a hot streak, and from July 6 through September 5, the Braves went 41–12.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/schedule.php?y=1914&t=BSN |title=1914 Boston Braves Schedule by Baseball Almanac |publisher=Baseball-almanac.com |access-date=July 25, 2011 |archive-date=April 30, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110430075507/http://www.baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/schedule.php?y=1914&t=BSN |url-status=live}}</ref>

On September 7 and 8, the Braves took two of three games from the New York Giants and moved into first place. The Braves tore through September and early October, closing with 25 wins against six losses, while the Giants went 16–16.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/schedule.php?y=1914&t=NY1 |title=1914 New York Giants Schedule by Baseball Almanac |publisher=Baseball-almanac.com |access-date=July 25, 2011 |archive-date=May 1, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110501033845/http://www.baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/schedule.php?y=1914&t=NY1 |url-status=live}}</ref> They were the only team, under the old eight-team league format, to win a pennant after being in last place on the Fourth of July. They were in last place as late as July 18, but were close to the pack, moving into fourth on July 21 and second place on August 12.<ref>Cohen, Neft, Johnson and Deutsch, ''The World Series'', The Dial Press, 1976.</ref>

Despite their amazing comeback, the Braves entered the [[1914 World Series|World Series]] as a heavy underdog to [[Connie Mack]]'s [[1914 Philadelphia Athletics season|Philadelphia A's]]. Nevertheless, the Braves swept the Athletics—the first unqualified sweep in the young history of the modern [[World Series]] (the [[1907 World Series|1907 Series]] had one tied game) to win the world championship. Meanwhile, [[Johnny Evers]] won the [[Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award|Chalmers Award]].

The Braves played the World Series (as well as the last few games of the 1914 season) at [[Fenway Park]], since their normal home, the [[South End Grounds]], was too small. However, the Braves' success inspired owner Gaffney to build a modern park, [[Braves Field]], which opened in August 1915. It was the largest park in the majors at the time, with 40,000 seats and a very spacious outfield. The park was novel for its time; public transportation brought fans right to the park.

====1915–1953====
After contending for most of 1915 and 1916, the Braves only twice posted winning records from 1917 to 1932. The lone highlight of those years came when Judge [[Emil Fuchs (baseball)|Emil Fuchs]] bought the team in 1923 to bring his longtime friend, pitching great [[Christy Mathewson]], back into the game. However, Mathewson died in 1925, leaving Fuchs in control of the team.

Fuchs was committed to building a winner, but the damage from the years prior to his arrival took some time to overcome. The Braves finally managed to be competitive in 1933 and 1934 under manager [[Bill McKechnie]], but Fuchs' revenue was severely depleted due to the [[Great Depression]].

Looking for a way to get more fans and more money, Fuchs worked out a deal with the [[New York Yankees]] to acquire [[Babe Ruth]], who had started his career with the Red Sox. Fuchs made Ruth team vice president, and promised him a share of the profits. He was also granted the title of assistant manager, and was to be consulted on all of the Braves' deals. Fuchs even suggested that Ruth, who had long had his heart set on managing, could take over as manager once McKechnie stepped down—perhaps as early as 1936.<ref name="Neyer">{{cite book |last=Neyer |first=Rob |author-link=Rob Neyer |title=Rob Neyer's Big Book of Baseball Blunders |year=2006 |publisher=Fireside |location=New York |isbn=978-0-7432-8491-2 |url=https://archive.org/details/robneyersbigbook0000neye}}</ref>

At first, it appeared that Ruth was the final piece the team needed in 1935. On opening day, he had a hand in all of the Braves' runs in a 4–2 win over the [[1936 New York Giants (MLB) season|Giants]]. However, that proved to be the only time the Braves were over .500 all year. Events went downhill quickly. While Ruth could still hit, he could do little else. He could not run, and his fielding was so terrible that three of the Braves' pitchers threatened to go on strike if Ruth were in the lineup. It soon became obvious that he was vice president and assistant manager in name only and Fuchs' promise of a share of team profits was hot air. In fact, Ruth discovered that Fuchs expected him to invest some of ''his'' money in the team.<ref name="Neyer"/>

Seeing a franchise in complete disarray, Ruth retired on June 1—only six days after he clouted what turned out to be the last three [[home run]]s of his career. He had wanted to quit as early as May 12, but Fuchs wanted him to hang on so he could play in every National League park.<ref name="Neyer"/> The Braves finished 38–115, the worst season in franchise history. Their .248 winning percentage is the second-worst in the modern era and the second-worst in National League history (ahead of the [[1899 Cleveland Spiders season|1899 Cleveland Spiders]] with a .130 winning percentage).

Fuchs lost control of the team in August 1935,<ref name="Neyer"/> and the new owners tried to change the team's image by renaming it the '''Boston Bees'''. This did little to change the team's fortunes. After five uneven years, a new owner, construction magnate [[Lou Perini]], changed the nickname back to the Braves. He immediately set about rebuilding the team. World War II slowed things down a little, but the team rode the pitching of [[Warren Spahn]] to impressive seasons in 1946 and 1947.

[[File:Warren Spahn Pitching transparency 1952 March 21.png|thumb|upright=1.0|Hall of Fame pitcher [[Warren Spahn]]]]
In 1948, the [[1948 Boston Braves season|team]] won the pennant, behind the pitching of Spahn and [[Johnny Sain]], who won 39 games between them. The remainder of the rotation was so thin that in September, ''Boston Post'' writer Gerald Hern wrote this poem about the pair:<ref>{{cite news |first1=Red|last1=Smith |title=Spahnie and Howie|work=[[The Berkshire Eagle]] |url=https://newspaperarchive.com/berkshire-eagle-jan-29-1973-p-21/|date=1973-01-29 |access-date=2024-01-05|ref=none}}</ref>

:''First we'll use Spahn''
:''then we'll use Sain''
:''Then an off day''
:''followed by rain''
:''Back will come Spahn''
:''followed by Sain''
:''And followed''
:''we hope''
:''by two days of rain.''

The poem received such a wide audience that the sentiment, usually now paraphrased as ''"Spahn and Sain and pray for rain"'', entered the baseball vocabulary.<ref>{{cite news |first1=Clayton|last1=Bellamy |title=Hall-of-Famer Spahn dead at 82 |url=https://newspaperarchive.com/us/ohio/delphos/delphos-herald/2003/11-25/page-7/ |work=Delphos Herald Newspaper |agency=Associated Press |date=2003-11-25 |access-date=2024-01-05|ref=none}}</ref> However, in the 1948 season, the Braves had the same overall winning percentage as in games that Spahn and Sain started.

The [[1948 World Series]], which the Braves lost in six games to the [[1948 Cleveland Indians season|Indians]], turned out to be the Braves' last hurrah in Boston. In 1950, [[Sam Jethroe]] became the team's first African American player, making his major league debut on April 18. Amid four mediocre seasons, attendance steadily dwindled until, on March 13, 1953, Perini, who had recently bought out his original partners, announced he was moving the team to [[Milwaukee]], where the Braves had their top farm club, the [[Milwaukee Brewers minor league|Brewers]]. Milwaukee had long been a possible target for relocation. [[Bill Veeck]] had tried to return his [[History of the St. Louis Browns|St. Louis Browns]] there earlier the same year (Milwaukee was the original home of that franchise), but his proposal had been voted down by the other American League owners.

===Milwaukee (1953–1965)===
{{see also|History of the Atlanta Braves#Milwaukee}}
[[File:MilwaukeeBaseballM.svg|thumb|upright=0.65|The Milwaukee Braves cap logo]]

Milwaukee went wild over the Braves, drawing a then-NL record 1.8&nbsp;million fans. The Braves finished 92–62 in their first season in Milwaukee. The success of the relocated team showed that baseball could succeed in new markets, and the [[Philadelphia Athletics]], [[St. Louis Browns]], [[Brooklyn Dodgers]], and [[New York Giants (baseball)|New York Giants]] left their hometowns within the next five years.

As the 1950s progressed, the reinvigorated Braves became increasingly competitive. Sluggers [[Eddie Mathews]] and [[Hank Aaron]] drove the offense (they hit a combined 1,226 home runs as Braves, with 850 of those coming while the franchise was in Milwaukee and 863 coming while they were teammates), often aided by another power hitter, [[Joe Adcock]], while [[Warren Spahn]], [[Lew Burdette]], and [[Bob Buhl]] anchored the rotation. The 1956 Braves finished second, only one game behind the Brooklyn Dodgers.

In [[1957 Milwaukee Braves season|1957]], the Braves celebrated their first pennant in nine years spearheaded by Aaron's [[MLB Most Valuable Player Award|MVP season]], as he led the National League in both home runs and RBI. Perhaps the most memorable of his 44 round-trippers that season came on September 23, a two-run [[walk-off home run]] that gave the Braves a 4–2 victory over the [[1957 St. Louis Cardinals season|St. Louis Cardinals]] and clinched the League championship. The team then went on to its first [[World Series]] win in over 40 years, defeating the powerful [[1957 New York Yankees season|New York Yankees]] of [[Yogi Berra|Berra]], [[Mickey Mantle|Mantle]], and [[Whitey Ford|Ford]] in seven games. One-time Yankee Burdette, the Series MVP, threw three complete-game victories against his former team, giving up only two earned runs.

In [[1958 Milwaukee Braves season|1958]], the Braves again won the National League pennant and jumped out to a three games to one lead in the World Series against the [[1958 New York Yankees season|New York Yankees]] once more, thanks in part to the strength of Spahn's and Burdette's pitching. But the Yankees stormed back to take the last three games, in large part to World Series MVP [[Bob Turley]]'s pitching.

[[File:Hank Aaron 1974.jpg|thumb|upright=0.95|Hall of Fame right fielder and designated hitter [[Hank Aaron]]]]
The [[1959 Milwaukee Braves season|1959 season]] saw the Braves finish the season in a tie with the [[1959 Los Angeles Dodgers season|Los Angeles Dodgers]], both with 86–68 records. Many residents of Chicago and Milwaukee were hoping for a Sox-Braves Series, as the cities are only about {{convert|75|mi|km|0}} apart, but it was not to be because Milwaukee fell in a best-of-3 playoff with two straight losses to the Dodgers. The Dodgers would go on to defeat the [[1959 Chicago White Sox season|Chicago White Sox]] in the [[1959 World Series|World Series]].

The next six years were up-and-down for the Braves. The 1960 season featured two no-hitters by Burdette and Spahn, and Milwaukee finished seven games behind the [[1960 Pittsburgh Pirates season|Pittsburgh Pirates]], who went on to win the [[1960 World Series|World Series]] that year, in second place, one year after the Braves were on the winning end of the 13-inning near-perfect game of Pirates pitcher [[Harvey Haddix]]. The 1961 season saw a drop in the standings for the Braves down to fourth, despite Spahn recording his 300th victory and pitching another no-hitter that year.

Aaron hit 45 [[home run]]s in 1962, a Milwaukee career high for him, but this did not translate into wins for the Braves, as they finished fifth. [[1963 in baseball|The next season]], Aaron again hit 44 home runs and notched 130 RBI, and 42-year-old Warren Spahn was once again the ace of the staff, going 23–7. However, none of the other Braves produced at that level, and the team finished in the "[[first division (baseball)|second division]]", for the first time in its short history in Milwaukee.

The Braves were mediocre as the 1960s began, with an inflated win total fed by the expansion [[New York Mets]] and [[Houston Colt .45s]]. To this day, the Milwaukee Braves are the only major league team that played more than one season and never had a losing record.

Perini sold the Braves to a Chicago-based group led by [[William Bartholomay]] in 1962. Almost immediately, Bartholomay started shopping the Braves to a larger television market. Keen to attract them, the fast-growing city of Atlanta led by Mayor [[Ivan Allen Jr.]] constructed a new $18&nbsp;million, 52,000-seat ballpark in less than one year, [[Atlanta Stadium]], which was officially opened in 1965 in hopes of luring an existing MLB, NFL or AFL team. After the city failed to lure the [[History of the Oakland Athletics#Kansas City (1955–1967)|Kansas City A's]] to Atlanta (the A's ultimately moved to Oakland in 1968), the Braves announced their intention to move to Atlanta for the 1965 season. However, an injunction filed in Wisconsin kept the Braves in Milwaukee for one final year. In 1966, the Braves completed the move to Atlanta.

[[Eddie Mathews]] is the only Braves player to have played for the organization in all three cities that they have been based in. Mathews played with the Braves for their last season in Boston, the team's entire tenure in Milwaukee, and their first season in Atlanta.

===Atlanta (1966–present)===

====1966–1974====
[[File:Aaron 715.jpg|thumb|upright|The portion of fence over which Hank Aaron hit his 715th career home run is located outside of [[Center Parc Stadium]].]]

The Braves were a .500 team in their first few years in Atlanta; 85–77 in 1966, 77–85 in 1967, and 81–81 in 1968. The 1967 season was the Braves' first losing season since 1952, their last year in Boston. In 1969, with the onset of divisional play, the Braves won the first-ever [[National League West]] Division title, before being swept by the "[[1969 New York Mets season|Miracle Mets]]" in the [[1969 National League Championship Series|National League Championship Series]]. They would not be a factor during the next decade, posting only two winning seasons between 1970 and 1981 – in some cases, fielding teams as bad as the worst Boston teams.

In the meantime, fans had to be satisfied with the achievements of [[Hank Aaron]]. In the relatively hitter-friendly confines and higher-than-average altitude of Atlanta Stadium ("The Launching Pad"), he actually increased his offensive production. Atlanta also produced batting champions in [[Rico Carty]] (in 1970) and [[Ralph Garr]] (in 1974). In the shadow of Aaron's historical home run pursuit, was that three Atlanta sluggers hit 40 or more home runs in 1973 – [[Darrell Evans]] and [[Davey Johnson]] along with Aaron.

By the end of the 1973 season, Aaron had hit 713 home runs, one short of Ruth's record. Throughout the winter he received racially motivated death threats, but stood up well under the pressure. On April 4, opening day of the [[1974 Major League Baseball season|next season]], he hit No. 714 in [[1974 Cincinnati Reds season|Cincinnati]], and on April 8, in front of his home fans and a national television audience, he finally beat Ruth's mark with a home run to left-center field off left-hander [[Al Downing (baseball)|Al Downing]] of the [[1974 Los Angeles Dodgers season|Los Angeles Dodgers]]. Aaron spent most of his career as a Milwaukee and Atlanta Brave before being traded to the [[Milwaukee Brewers]] on November 2, 1974.

====Ted Turner era====

=====1976–1977: Ted Turner buys the team=====
[[File:Международная Леонардо-премия 10.1.jpg|thumb|Media magnate [[Ted Turner]] purchased the team in 1976, and played a large role in the team's operation.]]

In 1976, the team was purchased by media magnate [[Ted Turner]], owner of [[superstation]] [[TBS (American TV channel)|WTBS]], as a means to keep the team (and one of his main programming staples) in Atlanta. The financially strapped Turner used money already paid to the team for their broadcast rights as a down-payment. It was then that Atlanta Stadium was renamed [[Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium]]. Turner quickly gained a reputation as a quirky, hands-on baseball owner. On May 11, 1977, Turner appointed himself [[manager (baseball)|manager]], but because MLB passed a rule in the 1950s barring managers from holding a financial stake in their teams, Turner was ordered to relinquish that position after one game (the [[1977 Atlanta Braves season|Braves]] lost 2–1 to the [[1977 Pittsburgh Pirates season|Pittsburgh Pirates]] to bring their losing streak to 17 games).

Turner used the Braves as a major programming draw for his fledgling cable network, making the Braves the first franchise to have a nationwide audience and fan base. WTBS marketed the team as "The Atlanta Braves: [[America's Team]]", a nickname that still sticks in some areas of the country, especially [[Southern United States|the South]]. Among other things, in 1976 Turner suggested the nickname "Channel" for pitcher [[Andy Messersmith]] and jersey number 17, in order to promote the television station that aired [[Braves TBS Baseball|Braves games]]. Major League Baseball quickly nixed the idea.

=====1978–1990=====
After three straight losing seasons, [[Bobby Cox]] was hired for his first stint as manager for the 1978 season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-10-23-sp-13995-story.html|title=Blue Jays' Cox Leaves Land of the Freeze for the Home of the Braves|date=October 23, 1985|website=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=June 23, 2022}}</ref> He promoted 22-year-old slugger [[Dale Murphy]] into the starting lineup. Murphy hit 77 home runs over the next three seasons, but he struggled on defense, unable to adeptly play either catcher or first base. In 1980, Murphy was moved to center field and demonstrated excellent range and throwing ability, while the Braves earned their first winning season since 1974. Cox was fired after the 1981 season and replaced with [[Joe Torre]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1981/10/23/sports/torre-accepts-3-year-braves-contract.html|title=Torre Accepts 3-Year Braves Contract|date=October 23, 1981|website=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=September 20, 2023}}</ref> under whose leadership the Braves attained their first divisional title since 1969.

Strong performances from [[Bob Horner]], [[Chris Chambliss]], pitcher [[Phil Niekro]], and short relief pitcher [[Gene Garber]] helped the Braves, but no Brave was more acclaimed than Murphy, who won both a [[MLB Most Valuable Player award|Most Valuable Player]] and a [[Gold Glove Award|Gold Glove award]]. Murphy also won an MVP award the following season, but the Braves began a period of decline that defined the team throughout the 1980s. Murphy, excelling in defense, hitting, and running, was consistently recognized as one of the league's best players, but the Braves averaged only 65 wins per season between 1985 and 1990. Their lowest point came in 1988, when they lost 106 games. The 1986 season saw the return of Bobby Cox as [[general manager (baseball)|general manager]]. Also in 1986, the team stopped using their Native American-themed mascot, [[Chief Noc-A-Homa]].

Immediately after the season, [[John Schuerholz]] was hired away from the [[Kansas City Royals]] as general manager.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/john-schuerholz-best-general-manager-in-braves-history|title=14 division titles: Schuerholz is Braves' best GM|last=Bowman|first=Mark|date=June 23, 2020|website=[[MLB.com]]|access-date=September 20, 2023}}</ref>

The following season, Glavine, Avery, and Smoltz would be recognized as the best young pitchers in the league, winning 52 games among them.  Meanwhile, behind position players [[David Justice]], [[Ron Gant]] and unexpected league Most Valuable Player and batting champion [[Terry Pendleton]], the [[1991 Atlanta Braves season|Braves]] overcame a 39–40 start, winning 55 of their final 83 games over the last three months of the season and edging the [[1991 Los Angeles Dodgers season|Los Angeles Dodgers]] by one game in one of baseball's more memorable playoff races.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.atlantamagazine.com/90s/unbelievable-the-braves-1991-worst-to-first-season/|title=Unbelievable!

The "Worst to First" Braves, who had not won a divisional title since 1982, captivated the city of Atlanta and the entire southeast during their improbable run to the flag. They defeated the [[1991 Pittsburgh Pirates season|Pittsburgh Pirates]] in a very tightly contested seven-game [[1991 National League Championship Series|NLCS]] only to lose the [[1991 World Series|World Series]], also in seven games, to the [[1991 Minnesota Twins season|Minnesota Twins]]. The series, considered by many to be one of the greatest ever, was the first time a team that had finished last in its division one year went to the World Series the next; both the Twins and Braves accomplished the feat.

Despite the 1991 World Series loss, the Braves' success would continue. In 1992, the [[1992 Atlanta Braves season|Braves]] returned to the [[1992 National League Championship Series|NLCS]] and once again defeated the [[1992 Pittsburgh Pirates season|Pirates]] in seven games, culminating in a [[Francisco Cabrera game|dramatic game seven win]]. [[Francisco Cabrera (baseball)|Francisco Cabrera]]'s two-out single that scored David Justice and Sid Bream capped a three-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning that gave the Braves a 3–2 victory. It was the first time in post-season history that the tying and winning runs had scored on a single play in the ninth inning. The Braves lost the [[1992 World Series|World Series]] to the [[1992 Toronto Blue Jays season|Toronto Blue Jays]], however.

In 1993, the Braves signed [[Cy Young Award]] winning pitcher [[Greg Maddux]] from the [[Chicago Cubs]], leading many baseball insiders to declare the team's pitching staff the best in baseball.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1992/12/10/maddux-to-braves-for-28-million/4d16b3f3-a534-4808-9761-42da3ab5039d/|title=Maddux To Braves For $28 Million|last=Maske|first=Mark|date=December 10, 1992|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|access-date=June 5, 2020|archive-date=June 6, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200606051349/https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1992/12/10/maddux-to-braves-for-28-million/4d16b3f3-a534-4808-9761-42da3ab5039d/|url-status=live}}</ref> The [[1993 Atlanta Braves season|1993 team]] posted a franchise-best 104 wins after a dramatic pennant race with the [[1993 San Francisco Giants season|San Francisco Giants]], who won 103 games.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/ATL/1993.shtml|title=Atlanta Braves 1993 Summary|publisher=baseball-reference.com|access-date=July 7, 2008|archive-date=July 9, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080709035421/http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/ATL/1993.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> The Braves needed a stunning 55–19 finish to edge out the Giants, who led the Braves by nine games in the standings as late as August 11.

In 1994, in a realignment of the [[National League (baseball)|National League]]'s divisions following the 1993 expansion, the Braves moved to the Eastern Division.<ref name=Realignment/> This realignment was the main cause of the team's [[Braves–Mets rivalry|heated rivalry]] with the [[New York Mets]] during the mid-to-late 1990s.<ref name=RivalryWithMets/><ref name=SubwaySeries>{{cite book|title=The subway series: the Yankees, the Mets and a season to remember|year=2000|publisher=The Sporting News|location=St. Louis, Mo.|isbn=978-0-89204-659-1}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=From Wild Card to World Series|date=October 17, 2000|first=Murray|last=Chass|newspaper=The New York Times|author-link=Murray Chass}}</ref>

In October 1996, Time Warner acquired Ted Turner's [[Turner Broadcasting System]] and all of its assets, including its cable channels and the Atlanta Braves. Over the next few years, Ted Turner's presence as the owner of the team would diminish.

A 95–67 record in {{World Series Year|2000}} produced a ninth consecutive division title.

They had a streak of 14 division titles from 1991 to 2005, three in the Western Division and eleven in the Eastern, interrupted only in 1994 when the strike ended the season early. Pitching was not the only constant in the Braves organization&nbsp;—Cox was the Braves' manager, while Schuerholz remained the team's GM until after the 2007 season when he was promoted to team president. Terry Pendleton finished his playing career elsewhere but returned to the Braves system as the hitting coach.

In December 2005, team owner [[Time Warner]], which inherited the Braves after purchasing [[Turner Broadcasting System]] in 1996, announced it was placing the team for sale.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/1995/09/23/MN70161.DTL|last=Pelline|first=Jeff|date=September 23, 1995|title=Time Warner Closes Deal for Turner|newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://money.cnn.com/2005/12/14/news/fortune500/braves_sale/|last=Isidore|first=Chris|date=December 14, 2005|title=Time Warner considers Braves sale|publisher=CNNMoney.com|access-date=April 27, 2011|archive-date=October 22, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022180011/http://money.cnn.com/2005/12/14/news/fortune500/braves_sale/|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Liberty Media]] began negotiations to purchase the team.

In February 2007, after more than a year of negotiations, Time Warner agreed to a deal to sell the Braves to Liberty Media, which owned a large amount of stock in Time Warner, pending approval by 75 percent of MLB owners and the Commissioner of Baseball, [[Bud Selig]]. The deal included the exchange of the Braves, valued in the deal at $450&nbsp;million, a hobbyist magazine publishing company, and $980&nbsp;million cash, for 68.5&nbsp;million shares of Time Warner stock held by Liberty, worth approximately $1.48&nbsp;billion. Team President Terry McGuirk anticipated no change in the front office structure, personnel, or day-to-day operations of the Braves, and Liberty did not participate in day-to-day operations.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.forbes.com/forbes/2008/0505/089.html?boxes=custom |title=Braves' New World – Forbes Magazine |work=Forbes |date=May 5, 2008 |access-date=July 25, 2011 |first=Monte |last=Burke |archive-date=May 24, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110524045942/http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2008/0505/089.html?boxes=custom |url-status=live}}</ref> On May 16, 2007, Major League Baseball's owners approved the sale.<ref name="BravesSaleApproved">{{cite news|last=Bloom|first=Barry M.|title=Braves sale is approved|url=http://m.mlb.com/news/article/1968024/|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=MLB.com|date=May 16, 2007|access-date=October 1, 2015|archive-date=August 18, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170818173225/http://m.mlb.com/news/article/1968024/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Bowman|first=Mark|title=Braves excited by news of team sale|url=http://m.braves.mlb.com/news/article/1969402|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=Braves.com|date=May 16, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150713200319/http://m.braves.mlb.com/news/article/1969402|archive-date=July 13, 2015|access-date=February 18, 2019|url-status=dead}}</ref> The Braves are one of only two Major League Baseball teams under majority corporate ownership (and the only NL team with this distinction); the other team is the [[Toronto Blue Jays]] (owned by Canadian media conglomerate [[Rogers Communications]]).

The 2010 Braves' season featured an attempt to reclaim a [[postseason]] berth for the first time since [[2005 Atlanta Braves season|2005]]. The Braves were once again skippered by [[Bobby Cox]], in his 25th and final season managing the team. The Braves started the 2010 season slowly and had a nine-game losing streak in April. Then they had a nine-game winning streak from May 26 through June 3, the Braves longest since [[2000 Atlanta Braves season|2000]] when they won 16 in a row. On May 31, the Atlanta Braves defeated the then-first place [[Philadelphia Phillies]] at [[Turner Field]] to take sole possession of first place in the [[National League East]] standings, a position they had maintained through the middle of August.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2010_05_31_phimlb_atlmlb_1&mode=wrap |title=MLB.mlb.com |publisher=MLB.mlb.com |date=May 31, 2010 |access-date=July 25, 2011 |archive-date=June 4, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100604233615/http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2010_05_31_phimlb_atlmlb_1&mode=wrap |url-status=live}}</ref>

The last time the Atlanta Braves led the NL East on August 1 was in [[2005 Atlanta Braves season|2005]]. On July 13, 2010, at the [[2010 MLB All-Star Game]] in [[Anaheim]], Braves catcher [[Brian McCann (baseball)|Brian McCann]] was awarded the [[MLB All-Star Game MVP Award|All-Star Game MVP Award]] for his clutch two-out, three-run double in the seventh inning to give the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] its first win in the All-Star Game since [[1996 MLB All-Star Game|1996]].<ref>{{cite web |author=Barry M.

In 2012, the Braves began their 138th season after an upsetting end to the 2011 season.

To compensate for this, the team went on to receive many key players such as outfielder [[Michael Bourn]], along with shortstops [[Tyler Pastornicky]] and [[Andrelton Simmons]].

Washington ended up winning their first division title in franchise history, but the Braves remained in first place of the NL wild-card race. Keeping with a new MLB rule for the 2012 season, the top two wild card teams in each league must play each other in a [[2012 National League Wild Card Game|playoff game]] before entering into the [[Division Series]]. The Braves played the [[St. Louis Cardinals]] in the first-ever [[Major League Baseball Wild Card Game|Wild Card Game]]. The Braves lost the game 6–3, ending their season.

The Braves updated their uniform set in 1987, returning to buttoned uniforms and belted pants. This design returned to the classic look they wore in the 1950s. For the 2023 season the Braves have four uniform combinations. The white home uniform features red and navy piping, the "Braves" script and tomahawk in front, and radially arched (vertically arched until 2005; sewn into a nameplate until 2012) navy letters and red numbers with navy trim at the back. The gray road uniforms are identical to the white home uniforms save for the "Atlanta" script in front.<ref>{{cite web|title=Braves Uniforms|url=https://www.mlb.com/braves/history/uniforms|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=Braves.com|access-date=January 19, 2019|archive-date=April 18, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190418025008/https://www.mlb.com/braves/history/uniforms|url-status=live}}</ref> Initially, the cap worn with both uniforms is the red-brimmed navy cap with the script "A" in front. In 2008, an all-navy cap was introduced and became the primary road cap the following season.

The Braves alternate navy blue road jerseys features red lettering, a red tomahawk and silver piping. Unlike the home uniforms, which are worn based on a schedule, the road uniforms are chosen on game day by the starting pitcher. However, they are also subject to [[Major League Baseball]] rules requiring the road team to wear uniforms that contrast with the uniforms worn by the home team. Due to this rule, the gray uniforms are worn when the home team chooses to wear navy blue, and sometimes when the home team chooses to wear black.

For home games the Braves also have two alternate uniforms. The team has a Friday night red alternate home uniform. The uniform features navy piping, navy "Braves" script and tomahawk in front, and white letters and navy numbers with white trim at the back. It was paired with the Braves normal home cap. For Saturday games, the Braves wear the [[City Connect]] uniforms in honor of Hank Aaron.<ref>{{cite news|title='Keep Swinging #44′: Braves unveil Hank Aaron tribute uniforms|first1=Justin|last1=Toscano|url=https://www.ajc.com/sports/atlanta-braves/braves-unveil-city-connect-uniforms/RDSZ64TM7JFJTEFPOLSBQF6D24/|newspaper=[[Atlanta-Journal Constitution]]|date=March 27, 2023|access-date=March 28, 2023}}</ref> The jersey is inspired by the 1974 Braves home uniform and is reimagined with "The A" emblazoned across the chest. The cap features the "A" logo and bears the colors of the 1974 uniform.

==Major rivalries==

===New York Mets===
{{main|Braves–Mets rivalry}}

The Braves–Mets rivalry is a rivalry between the two teams, featuring the Braves and the [[New York Mets]] as they both play in the [[National League East]].<ref name=RivalryWithMets>{{cite news |first=Lisa |last=Olson |url=http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/sports/crazy-scene-shea-takes-luster-mets-braves-rivalry-article-1.528122 |title=Crazy scene at Shea takes luster off Mets-Braves rivalry |newspaper=[[New York Daily News]] |date=July 8, 2003 |access-date=January 2, 2018 |archive-date=November 7, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107011232/http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/sports/crazy-scene-shea-takes-luster-mets-braves-rivalry-article-1.528122 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Although their first major confrontation occurred when the Mets swept the Braves in the [[1969 National League Championship Series|1969 NLCS]], en route to their first World Series championship, the first playoff series won by an expansion team (also the first playoff appearance by an expansion team), the rivalry did not become especially heated until the 1994 season when division realignment put both the Mets and the Braves in the NL East division.<ref name=Realignment>{{cite news|quote=The Pirates will switch from the East next season. They opposed the move last week when realignment was approved, but agreed to allow Atlanta to move to the East.|title=Pirates OK new realignment|date=September 16, 1993|first=Hal|last=Bodley|newspaper=USA Today|page=1C}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Pirates Relent on New Alignment|date=September 16, 1993|first=Murray|last=Chass|newspaper=The New York Times|page=B14|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/09/16/sports/baseball-pirates-relent-on-new-alignment.html?pagewanted=print|author-link=Murray Chass|access-date=February 14, 2017|archive-date=August 24, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170824094121/http://www.nytimes.com/1993/09/16/sports/baseball-pirates-relent-on-new-alignment.html?pagewanted=print|url-status=live}}</ref> During this time the Braves became one of the most dominant teams in professional baseball, earning 14 straight division titles through 2005, including five World Series berths, and one World Series championship during the 1995 season. The rivalry remained heated through the early 2000s.

===Philadelphia Phillies===
While their rivalry with the [[Philadelphia Phillies]] lacks the history and hatred of the Mets, it has been the more important one in the last decade. Between 1993 and 2013, the two teams reigned almost exclusively as NL East champions, the exceptions being in 2006, when the Mets won their first division title since [[1988 New York Mets season|1988]] (no division titles were awarded in 1994 due to the [[1994–95 Major League Baseball strike|player's strike]]), and in 2012, when the [[Washington Nationals]] claimed their [[National League East#NL East champions by year|first division title since 1981]] when playing as the [[Montreal Expos]]. The Phillies 1993 championship was also part of a four-year reign of exclusive division championships by the Phillies and the [[Pittsburgh Pirates]], their [[Phillies–Pirates rivalry|in-state rivals]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Pirates, Phillies Have Owned the Outgoing NL East Division |date=September 27, 1993 |first=Gene |last=Collier |newspaper=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette |page=D1}}</ref>

While rivalries are generally characterized by mutual hatred, the Braves and Phillies deeply respect each other. Each game played (18 games in 2011) is vastly important between these two NL East giants, but at the end of the day, they are very similar organizations.<ref>{{cite news|last=Schultz|first=Jeff|title=If Braves send message to Phillies, it will be done nicely|url=http://blogs.ajc.com/jeff-schultz-blog/2011/04/07/if-braves-send-message-to-phillies-it-will-be-done-nicely/?cxntfid=blogs_jeff_schultz_blog|newspaper=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution|access-date=May 26, 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110411043733/http://blogs.ajc.com/jeff-schultz-blog/2011/04/07/if-braves-send-message-to-phillies-it-will-be-done-nicely/?cxntfid=blogs_jeff_schultz_blog|archive-date=April 11, 2011|df=mdy}}</ref>  Overall, the Braves have five more [[National League East#Most Division Titles|National League East division titles]] than the Phillies, the Braves having won 16 times since 1995, and holding it for 11 consecutive years from 1995 through 2005. (The Braves also have five NL West titles from 1969 through 1993.) Recently, the Braves have struggled against the Phillies in the postseason, losing the 2022 and 2023 NLDS despite finishing with a substantially better regular season record both times.
<!-- ===Washington Nationals=== -->

==Nationwide fanbase==
In addition to having strong fan support in the [[Atlanta metropolitan area]] and the state of Georgia, the Braves are often referred to as "[[America's Team#Other uses|America's Team]]" in reference to the team's games being broadcast nationally on [[Braves TBS Baseball|TBS]] from the 1970s until 2007, giving the team a nationwide fan base.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.11alive.com/article/sports/mlb/atlanta-braves/braves-americas-team/85-b131adf6-9f6c-4f99-adde-5187c76d27d8|title=The Atlanta Braves are known as America's Team, but why?|website=[[WXIA-TV]]|access-date=April 24, 2023|date=October 29, 2021}}</ref>
