The Atlanta Braves: Champions of the Fall Classic... Except When They're Not
Ah, the Atlanta Braves. A team steeped in history, boasting a loyal fanbase (who occasionally dress up as tomahawks, but that's a story for another day), and a trophy cabinet that would make your local bowling alley jealous.

How many times have the Braves choked (just kidding, kind of) in the Fall Classic?
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.

The Not-So-Fun Facts
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.

- 1914: The Philadelphia Athletics said, "Not today, Boston Braves," in a clean 4-0 sweep.
- 1957: The New York Yankees, those pesky Bronx Bombers, snatched victory from the Milwaukee Braves' grasp in seven games.
- 1991: The Minnesota Twins, bless their hearts, brought the broomsticks and swept the Braves in a shocking turn of events.
- 1992: It was another Yankee pinstriped party, with Atlanta falling short in six games.
- 2019: The Houston Astros allegedly used some special technology (wink, wink) to steal their way to a World Series win over the Braves.
But Wait, There's More! (The Good Kind)
Okay, okay, enough with the misery! Let's not forget the four times the Braves did conquer the Fall Classic:
- 1914 (Yes, you read that right!): The Boston Braves bounced back to defeat the Philadelphia Athletics in a rematch.
- 1957 (Again, with a twist!): The Milwaukee Braves turned the tables on the Yankees, winning the Series in seven games.
- 1995: The "Braves Dynasty" began in Atlanta, with a thrilling six-game victory over the Cleveland Indians.
- 2021: After a long title drought, the Braves returned to World Series glory, defeating the Houston Astros (who, hopefully, had learned their lesson by then) in six games.
