The Atlanta Braves are one of the most storied franchises in all of Major League Baseball, making a name for themselves even before they settled in Atlanta. Plenty of big-name players have passed through their roster, and while their recent success certainly has made headlines, so have some of their first seasons too.
Founded all the way back on January 20, 1871, as the Boston Red Stockings, the team we currently call the Atlanta Braves made stops in Boston and Milwaukee before staking their claim down south. Having finally arrived in Atlanta in 1966, the Braves have created a storied history of successes and struggles that have built that team into what they are today.
