Atlanta Braves Tickets

2009 Atlanta Braves MLB Preview:
The mission for the 2009 Atlanta Braves ball club will be to return to excellence. The Braves were one of the top teams in baseball for the last decade, and their roster is strong enough so they should be able to earn back top team status in '09. The Braves will pitch Derek Lowe and Javier Vazquez in-front of a talented field lineup that includes Chipper Jones and Garret Anderson. If Atlanta Braves Manager Bobby Cox can squeeze out a little of his old magic from this team, then Atlanta fans should be doing the Tomahawk Chop this postseason.

The Atlanta Braves play in the East Division of Major League Baseball's National League. The Braves were founded in 1871 as the Boston Red Stockings. The team's nickname would change multiple times before they were moved to Milwaukee as the Braves in 1953. The Braves would then move to Atlanta in 1966. The Braves are one of only two remaining National League founding franchises, and are the only team to win a World Series for three different home cities. The Atlanta Braves were most recently the team of the 90's, winning their division every year between 1991 and 2005, going to the World Series 5 times, and winning once in 1995.

The Atlanta Braves play their home games at Turner Field, or “the Ted”, in Atlanta, Georgia. The stadium holds just over 50,000 fans for Braves games. Turner Field was originally built as an Olympic stadium for 1996, but part of the field was afterwards demolished to create a permanent baseball stadium for the Braves. Recent renovations in 2005 make this an ideal setting for baseball fans to cheer on their team.
