Book Description
1996 marked the 125th season of the oldest continuously operating professional sports franchise in America: the Atlanta Braves. This comprehensive reference begins with the team's birth in 1871 as the Boston Red Stockings, and follows them to Milwaukee in 1953 and to Atlanta in 1966, playing under such a variety of names as Beaneaters, Doves, Rustlers, Braves, Bees, and back to the Braves. Because of this transient past, much of the franchise's history has been misplaced over the years—until now. Beloved not only by their tomahawk-chopping local fans but by baseball fans everywhere, the Braves have become one of today's most successful sports organizations. The Braves Encyclopedia brings it all together. 150 player profiles—from Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Warren Spahn, and Eddie Matthews to all-time greats Dale Murphy, Phil Niekro, and Terry Pendleton to today's stars like David Justice, Greg Maddux, and Steve Avery 600 photographs of players, game highlights, and memorabilia extensive statistics, including box scores, team and individual records, and trades season-by-season descriptions bring to life the great moments, the World Series championships, the managerial strategies, the personalities, and the milestones a comprehensive history of the ballparks a wealth of little-known facts and surprising anecdotes Author note: Gary Caruso is the editor of Chop Talk a monthly magazine covering the Atlanta Braves.

Book Description
I'd like to thank you remaining reading dinosaurs for your interest in this project. I believe this compilation of baseball championship statistics differs from any previous attempts at documenting the history of the World Series.Since the Sports Encyclopedia-Baseball was discontinued by the Neft brothers & Richard Cohen there are few, if any, books that specifically delve into the Fall Classic with the fervor of World Series Chronology.Even if "Encyclopedia" were still available it would pale comparatively regarding the convenience "Chronology" provides. Their Baseball Encyclopedia, a wonderful and informative text to be sure, made the reader dig very deep to find information and determine how that data compared to similar numbers and teams from different eras. The World Series Chronology, as it states in the title, compares contrasts & coordinates the champions.For instance; if one were curious to know which team comes the closest to the New York Yankees record 5 consecutive titles (1949-53) one could in fact garner the answer in "Encyclopedia" after substantial investigation. But in "Chronology" it's easy to see that the Oakland Athletics string of 3 straight (1972-74) is the next franchise in line.Or if someone was interested in knowing which two teams faced one another the most times in World Series competition, again this could be found after much tracking in another publication. Finding that the Yankees and Dodgers have met 11 times would not be impossible to decipher from the "Encyclopedia". But again, "Chronology" does all the research and the information jumps right off the page for the reader. The Yanks dominated the BROOKLYN Dodgers in their 7 meetings, by winning 6 times. But since the Dodgers have moved to Los Angeles the teams have split their 4 match-ups evenly.These are just two examples of the myriad of comparisons, contrasts, & relative similarities of all of the franchises that have played the glorious game of baseball into the fall.Want to know what teams dominated a specific decade in their respective league? Or how many times? How about how many times have teams that won 100 games in the regular season have faced one another in the Fall Classic? Which team has the most sweeps? Who got there with the least amount of wins? How they all fare historically? Which league holds the edge? What effect does winning a title have on that team's city's crime rate?All of this information, combined with anecdotes, social & historical correlations, and so much more is conveniently at the disposal of the reader.Thank you for your time. I suspect that afterward, you'll thank me for mine.
