The Atlanta Braves Baseball Team

Formed in 1876, the Braves were one of the charter members of the National League. First playing in Boston, then Milwaukee, and now Atlanta, the Braves are the first team to win the World Series in three different cities. Some of their brightest stars have included Hall of Famers such as all-time home run leader Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn, Eddie Mathews, and Phil Niekro. The Braves of today, led by pitchers Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz, have been a dominant team in the National League, reaching the playoffs, as well as winning the World Series.
