Hey guys it's Dan package here with

another episode of historical teaching

today's episode will be about another

MLB franchise the Atlanta Braves lI hope

y'all enjoy and now let's get into this

unlike the diam backs from the last

episode the history of the Atlanta

Braves to see far longer one so Il be

more focused on key events rather than

doing the year by year overview as I did

with the time backs the history of the

Atlanta Braves starts way back in 1870

in Cincinnati Ohio in Cincinnati there

was a professional baseball team called

the Red Stockings

after a few years of playing decided to

dissolve after the 1870 baseball season

due to the dissolving of the team some

people were left without a job or a

hobby after the Cincinnati Red Stockings

dissolved some players joined the newly

forming Boston Red Sox in Boston

Massachusetts at the south end grounds

which would play in the National

players which would be in action from

1871 through 75 during that period the

Red Stockings where the dynasty of the

league as they won four of the five

championships the league held in 1876

the NA P BB which was the league's

name

abbreviated ceased and the Red

Stockings

team during this transition in leaguesthe Red Stockings became commonly

known

as the red caps as the Cincinnati Red

Stockings came back into existence the

same year as a charter team for the

National League during the period of

1877 through 1901 the red caps who

became renamed as the Boston

Beaneaters

yes what a fantastic name in 1883

dominated the National League winning

eight pennants and also had an powerful

1890 18 that one aim amazingly 102 and

47

this period of dominance would come

crashing down in 1901 however as the

new

American League introduced another

team

in Boston the still standing Red Sox who

were called the Boston Americans until

1908 for a pretty trivial reason they

didn't become the Red Sox until the

Beaneaters stopped using Red Sox in

their unit most of the towns of the

Beaneaters had was lured away to the

Americans due to the fact that the

Americans offered far bigger contracts

and the Beaneaters decided to offer the

truth was the Beaneaters didn't even

offer contracts for the players because

they thought that the loyalty would have

kicked in but instead the players left

and taking their talent with them the

loss of their talent hit them hard as

the period from 1900 to 1913 was a

ghastly one as they only had one winning

season the out of those thirteen years1908 for a pretty trivial reason they

didn't become the Red Sox until the

Beaneaters stopped using Red Sox in

their unit most of the towns of the

Beaneaters had was lured away to the

Americans due to the fact that the

Americans offered far bigger contracts

and the Beaneaters decided to offer the

and taking their talent with them the

loss of their talent hit them hard as

the period from 1900 to 1913 was a

ghastly one as they only had one winning

season the out of those thirteen years

also in six of those season they lost

over 800 games out of the 162 they

played this also marked a period in

which they were sold three times in the

span of five years the team was first

sold in 1907 to George and John Davi

who

named the team after some after

themselves as the boss of doves the

team

was then sold again in 1911 to william

hepburn russell who renamed the team

the

boston rustlers

(Music]

the team was then sold again the year

after to a group led by James Gaffney

and renamed to the Boston Braves after

those years of hardship the Bray'sfinally had success again in 1914 they

started the season pitifully slow before

starting back midseason and taking the

NL pennant from the New York Giants

they

went into the 1914 World Series as heavy

underdogs to the Philadelphia Athletics

somehow they ended up sweeping the

A's

playing al their home games infinitely

Park the home of the Red Sox as their

normal home the south and grounds was

far too small for the crowds due to the

success in the World Series Gaffney was

inspired to build Braves field which the

team would move into in 1915 after their

World Series win and their movement in

their move the team was competitive only

in 1915 and 60 after 1916 the team went

on a terrible period of losses as they

went from 1917 through 1932 withoutwinning seasons in that period in 1923

they were sold to Emil Fuchs which was

just about the midpoint of this

terribleness in 1933 and 1934 the team

began to get a new bout of life as they

began to compete once again in 1935 the

Braves made a deal with the New York

Yankees to get people one and only Babe

Ruth they succeeded gaining ruth as a

player as well as he as an assistant

manager vice president and he would get

a gain of the profits or so it seemed

the 1935 season spiraled out of control

as Ruth's health began to deteriorate

pitchers threatened striking if he was

in the lineup and he found out that

Fuchs had tried to finesse him lying

about managing and earning profits due

to this Ruth retired on June 1st 1935

leaving a team that would end at 38 and

115 the second worst in national league
