Atlanta Braves

The Atlanta Braves, a historic MLB team in the National League East Division, were originally founded in 1871 in Boston as the Boston Red Stockings, making them one of the oldest continuously operating professional sports franchises. After moving to Milwaukee in 1953 and finally to Atlanta in 1966, the Braves became a powerhouse known for their strong pitching rotations and consistent postseason appearances.
