Atlanta Braves Tickets

The Atlanta Braves are a Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in Atlanta, Georgia. Originally founded in 1871 as the Boston Red Stockings, the team underwent several name changes and relocations before settling in Atlanta in 1966. The Braves have a rich history and are one of the oldest continuously operating professional baseball franchises.

Their home ballpark is Truist Park, located in the Cumberland area of Atlanta. Truist Park opened in 2017 and features state-of-the-art amenities, including a large LED video board, immersive fan experiences, and a wide variety of food and beverage options. The stadium's design incorporates elements of the surrounding community and pays homage to Atlanta's rich baseball heritage.

The Braves boast an impressive roster of notable players throughout their history, including:

1. Hank Aaron: Widely regarded as one of the greatest baseball players of all time, Aaron spent the majority of his career with the Braves franchise, including their years in Milwaukee and Atlanta. He famously broke Babe Ruth's all-time home run record in 1974, finishing his career with 755 home runs.
2. Chipper Jones: A switch-hitting third baseman who spent his entire 19-year career with the Braves, Jones was a cornerstone of the team's success in the 1990s and 2000s. He was a seven-time All-Star and the 1999 National League MVP.
3. Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz: Known as the "Big Three," these three pitchers formed the core of the Braves' dominant starting rotation in the 1990s. Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz combined for seven Cy Young Awards and helped lead the Braves to multiple division titles and a World Series championship in 1995.

The Braves have several significant rivalries, both historical and contemporary. One of their most storied rivalries is with the New York Mets, dating back to the 1960s when both teams were in the National League East division. The Braves also have a fierce rivalry with the Philadelphia Phillies, fueled by competitive matchups and playoff battles within the division.

In recent years, the Braves' rivalry with the Washington Nationals has intensified as both teams have competed for supremacy in the NL East. These rivalries add extra excitement to the regular season and contribute to the passionate fan base that supports the Braves year after year.
