With the 2018 Major League Baseball season just around the corner, let’s take a look back at the Atlanta Braves of 20 years ago.
The 1998 Braves were a little more than two years removed from Atlanta’s first World Series title when their season began, and still had the majority of key players in place… and then some.
The ’98 squad finished 106-56, finishing as champions of the National League East a full 18 games ahead of the New York Mets. It would be one of six 100-plus win seasons for Bobby Cox’s Braves and the second of three straight.
