Atlanta Braves

The Atlanta Braves are a professional baseball club housed in Atlanta, Georgia. The Braves are part of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball's National League (NL). The "Braves" name, which was first used in 1912, originates from a term for a Native American warrior. The organization is one of the National League's two remaining charter franchises, the other being the Chicago Cubs, and was founded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1871 as the Boston Red Stockings, which has no relation to the Boston Red Sox. After numerous name changes, the team finally settled on the Boston Braves. In 1953, the team moved to Milwaukee, in 1966 they moved to Atlanta. The braves have won the World Series three times, once in each city.
