When the Braves Ruled the Diamond: Fourteen Flags over Atlanta
From 1991 through 2005, the Atlanta Braves did something no pro sports team can match, finishing in first place for fourteen consecutive seasons.During that stretch, the Braves parlayed powerful pitching with potent hitting that produced under pressure.
