Atlanta Braves Tickets

The city of Atlanta, Georgia is home to a member of the Eastern Division of the Major League Baseball's National League named the Atlanta Braves. Originally, the team called Boston home and the majority of their existence in the twentieth century was in Boston.

In 1953, the team changed locations and moved westward to Milwaukee, Wisconsin changing their home base of operations and training to that city. It was not until 1966 that the team moved to their current home in Georgia.

This team is one of a total of two charter franchises remaining in the MLB, alongside Chicago's Cubs. They underwent many name changes in Boston before settling on their current one. Their existing moniker was adopted officially in 1912 after many iterations including Boston Red Stockings, and Boston Bean Eaters.

The nickname of the team was The Bravos, a word used to describe a Native American warrior. Waging war is something the team has done well. They can boast something, which no other MLB team can boast, three World Series Championships in three different home cities.

Another event worthy of note is that while in their current home city during the 1974 season, Hank Aaron broke the long standing home-run record set by Babe Ruth. While many are quick to point out that most of Aaron's home runs were hit while in Milwaukee, his record breaking record of 1974 stood firm until the year 2007 when it was finally broke by Barry Bonds.

The Atlanta Braves have called Turner Field home since 1997, and even though they are now owned by Liberty Media, Ted Turner, the media magnate of fame has intoned in the past that he would like to buy back the Braves. The team continues to produce strong players and well played games keeping fans of America's Team on the edge of their seats praying for another Series win in the future.
