The story of the 1914 “Miracle” Boston Braves is one of the
most memorable in baseball history, but less well known is what the
club did after that spectacular season. They didn't “flash and
disappear”, as sports writer John Kieran put it. In 1915, they
were strong contenders for the National League pennant, and almost
won it again in 1916. This book is the first to look at the
“Miracle” Braves in a larger context. Under the innovative
manager George Stallings, the Braves won Boston's first National
League pennant in 17 years. Their startling sweep of the mighty
Philadelphia Athletics was their league's only World Series victory
from 1909 to 1919. The Braves of those years - like the
hot-tempered Georgian who managed them - were a roistering,
pugnacious crew that battled the opposition, the umpires and
sometimes each other.
