Tickets for the Braves

If you bought Braves tickets in the 1990's, you know those were the Braves' golden years, marked especially by their legendary pitching dominance. That decade saw six National League Cy Young Awards go to three Braves pitchers: Tom Glavine in 1991 and 1998, Greg Maddux in 1993, 1994, and 1995, and John Smoltz in 1996. These three future hall of fame pitchers gave the Braves one of the strongest pitching staffs in the game's history, and if you bought Braves tickets you were guaranteed a great show.

Braves tickets are still hot, even with the team being in rebuilding mode now, having finished either third or fourth in their division for the last three seasons.

The Braves are one of the National League's charter franchises, founded in 1871 in Boston, Massachusetts, under the name Boston Red Stockings (not to be confused with the Boston Red sox, which were not founded until 1901 and did not adopt the Red Sox nickname until 1908).

They won their first World Series title in 1914, sweeping the Philadelphia Athletics. Once the team name was changed to the Braves, they won their second championship in 1957 over the New York Yankees. In 1966, the Braves moved to Atlanta, and it was there that Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's major league home run record in 1974, a record that stood until 2007.
