                              The Story of the Braves
                              This is the story of the oldest continuously
                              operating professional sports franchise in America.
                              It's a story not only a great teams (the 1914
                              'Miracle' Braves, the 1995 Major League Baseball
                              World Champs) --and  great ballplayers (Aaron, Spahn, Niekro, and
                              Murphy), and memorable managers and pleasant
                              stadiums, but also a story of heartbreaking losses
                              and real  long pennant droughts. It's the story of the
                              Braves and their ancestors - the Red Stockings,
                              Beaneaters, Doves, Rustlers, and Bees - and their
                              wanderings from Boston to Milwaukee and Atlanta
                              and, in a way, it's also the story of professional
                              baseball in America.

                              In fact, the franchise that started as the Boston Red
                              Stockings in the 1870s and is now known as the
                              Atlanta Braves, is the only one of today's 28 Major
                              League franchises to have fielded a team every
                              season professional baseball has been in existence.
