Chapter 1: The Early Years

The Braves franchise was founded in 1871 as the Boston Red Stockings. The team was one of the most dominant in the early days of baseball, winning six National League pennants in its first eight years of existence.

In 1914, the Braves moved to Boston and became known as the Braves. The team continued to be successful, winning four more National League pennants and two World Series titles in the 1940s and 1950s.

Chapter 2: The Move to Atlanta

In 1966, the Braves moved to Atlanta. The team struggled in its early years in Atlanta, but it eventually became a contender in the 1990s.

In 1991, the Braves won their first World Series title in Atlanta. The team went on to win another World Series title in 1995 and four National League pennants in the 1990s.

Chapter 3: The Glory Years

The 1990s were the glory years for the Braves. The team won 14 division titles, five National League pennants, and two World Series titles during the decade.

The Braves were led by a core group of players that included Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, Chipper Jones, and Andruw Jones. These players were some of the best in the game, and they helped the Braves become one of the most dominant teams in baseball.

Chapter 4: The Lean Years

After the glory years of the 1990s, the Braves entered a period of decline. The team failed to win a division title from 2000 to 2004, and it did not make the playoffs again until 2009.

The Braves struggled during the lean years because they could not replace the core group of players that led them to success in the 1990s. The team also made some poor decisions in free agency, which contributed to its decline.

Chapter 5: The Rebirth

The Braves began to rebuild their team in the late 2000s. The team drafted and developed several young players, and it also made some smart free agent signings.

The Braves returned to the playoffs in 2009, and they have been a contender ever since. The team won the National League East division title in 2013, and it reached the World Series in 2021.

The Braves have a rich history that is filled with both success and failure. The team has won 14 division titles, five National League pennants, and two World Series titles. The Braves have also struggled at times, but they have always managed to rebuild and return to contention.

The Collection of the Greatest Braves Stories Ever Told is a must-read for any Braves fan. The book features tales from the team's rich history, from its early days in Boston to its current home in Atlanta. The book is a celebration of the Braves' storied past and a look ahead to the team's bright future.
