The Atlanta Braves franchise is one of only two remaining charter teams of Major League Baseball’s National League (the other being the Chicago Cubs). The team was founded in 1871 in Boston, Massachusetts, as the Boston Red Stockings of the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players, and they are recognized to be the oldest continuously playing team in major North American sports. An Impressive History The franchise operated out of Boston between 1871 and 1952, during which time they won their first World Series (1914) in addition to a handful of National League Pennants. But then they moved to Milwaukee for the 1953 season, and the city welcomed them with open arms: over the course of their first season, the team, which was by then known as the Braves, drew a National League-record attendance of 1.8 million fans. After winning another World Series in 1957, in addition to two more NL Pennants, the Braves moved for a second time in 1966—this time to their current home in Atlanta. Once there, the team rose to dominance in the 1990s. The Braves won the NL Pennant in 1991, 1992, 1995, 1996, and 1999, and they won their third World Series in 1995. Save on Atlanta Braves Tickets The Atlanta Braves have been playing their home games at Turner Field since 1997.
