The Braves franchise has hosted four All-Star Games; the first being in 1936 when they were the Boston Bees. They hosted again in 1955 in Milwaukee and then in 1972 at the old Atlanta Stadium. Today, we'll be revisiting the most recent All-Star Game to be played in Atlanta: the 71st All-Star Game, which took place July 11, 2000 at Turner Field.
When NL president Len Coleman (back when the separate leagues had their own presidents) awarded the 2000 All-Star Game to the Braves, he had done so at the expense of the Marlins.
