Braves Buzz: Can You Own a Piece of the Team? You Betcha!
Die-hard Braves fan? Do you dream of nights spent cheering from the owner's box, (pretending to) calling the shots, and celebrating World Series wins with high-fives from Freddie Freeman? Well, my friend, reality might not quite match those dreams (insurance on Freeman's hand alone would be astronomical) BUT there is a way to become a part of the Braves organization...sort of.

| Can You Buy Atlanta Braves Stock |
It's Not Busch Light Money, But You Can Be a Braves' Backer (Literally)
That's right! The Atlanta Braves are actually publicly traded, which means you can be a real-life, honest-to-goodness investor in the team. Imagine bragging to your buddies, "Yeah, I co-own a piece of the Braves. No big whoop." They might not believe you at first, but hey, a stock certificate is a pretty convincing argument.
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
Side note: Don't expect a salary or a discount on nachos at Truist Park. Being a shareholder is more about financial gain (hopefully) than baseball perks.
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
Alright, Alright, Alright. How Do I Actually Buy Braves Stock?
Now that you're all fired up about becoming a Braves co-owner (even if it is a tiny, tiny co-owner), here's the nitty-gritty. You can't just waltz into Truist Park and ask for some stock certificates behind the counter (although, that would be pretty cool). You'll need to use a brokerage firm, which is basically a middleman between you and the stock market.
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
Think of it this way: You're at a fancy restaurant and can't decide what wine to pair with your tomahawk chop. The sommelier (the brokerage firm) suggests the perfect bottle based on your taste (your investment goals).
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
