THE TEAM: The Braves are the oldest continuously operated franchise
in National League history and are one of just six Major League
clubs with more than 10,000 victories-that's more than the Boston
Red Sox or the New York Yankees and nearly 1,000 more than the
Philadelphia Phillies (though the Phils have lost 10,000-plus
games). In baseball's modern era the Braves franchise has won three
World Series titles, 17 Pennants, and made 21 playoff appearances
... not to mention an unprecedented run of 14 consecutive Division
Titles and the team of the 1990s under the leadership of Bobby Cox.
A virtual who's who of Hall of Fame legends also claim the Braves
as their home team: Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn, Eddie Mathews, and
Phil Niekro to name a few. THE FORMAT: Atlanta Braves: An
Interactive Guide to the World of Sports is composed of ten
chapters, each offering numbered "mini-stories"-facts, anomalies,
records, coincidences, and enthralling lore and trivia from Hall of
Fame legends Aaron, Spahn, Mathews and Niekro to future Hall of
Famers Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz to contemporary
stars Chipper Jones, Brian McCann and Tim Hudson.Each chapter
begins with an introduction that highlights the many exciting
stories found in these pages such as the "Worst-to-First" 1991
Braves, the legendary career of Manager Bobby Cox, and the
unprecedented Cy Young success for the Braves during the 1990s.
SPORTS BY THE NUMBERS books are not just for diehard sports fans,
but for every fan and sports history reader who loves sports and
