The stakes aren't as high this weekend as the Milwaukee Brewers visit the Atlanta Braves to open a three-game series. A year ago, the two clubs met in the National League Division Series, with Atlanta going on to win the World Series.
While it's far too early to start talking playoffs, this is animportant series for Atlanta, which is hosting its annual "Hank Aaron Weekend." Aaron, who died last year, had deep ties with both cities and franchises. He began his career with the Milwaukee Braves, broke Babe Ruth's career home run record as at Atlanta Brave, then played his final season with the Brewers.
