The Atlanta Braves franchise predates the National League, which was founded in 1876. The club was started 6 years after the end of the Civil War, in 1871, as a founding member of the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players, known in baseball circles as the NA. The only team to predate the Braves is the Chicago Cubs but, because the Cubs missed two seasons following the Great Chicago Fire, the Braves are recognized as baseball’s longest continuously playing team and the longest continuously playing professional sports organization in North America.
The Atlanta Braves started as the Boston Red Caps in 1871 and played under various names, including the Boston Braves, until moving to Milwaukee in 1953. After 13 seasons as the Milwaukee Braves the franchise relocated to Atlanta in 1966. Seventeen National League pennants hang from the rafters of home field, Turner Field, where the club has played since 1997, and only 3 World Series Championship pennants. While 3 World Series Championships puts the franchises in the lower end of postseason spectrum, the club’s 17 league titles is in the very top echelon.
The Atlanta Braves appeared in the postseason 14 times over the 15 seasons from 1991 through 2005. The only season the team didn’t appear in the playoffs in that period was in 1994, when the postseason was cancelled due to a labor dispute. From 1991 through 1999 the Braves appeared in the World Series 5 times and lost 4 times. In 1991 they lost in 7 to the Minnesota Twins, in 1992 they lost in 6 to the Toronto Blue Jays, in 1995 they defeated the Cleveland Indians in 6, and in 1996 and 1999 the Braves were beaten in the World Series by the New York Yankees.
After appearances in 14 consecutive MLB postseasons the Atlanta Braves have gone 3 seasons without an appearance. The club’s 90 losses in the 2008 season was the worst showing since 1990 – the year before the remarkable run of playoff appearances began.
The Atlanta Braves are in the 5-team East Division of the 16-team National League of 30-team Major League Baseball.
