No team in the history of Major League Baseball has ever had a run of sustained success equal to the Atlanta Braves. For fourteen consecutive seasons—from 1991 through 2005—the Braves won the National League East title, a testimony to the franchise's rock-solid foundation. The names have become a part of baseball lore: Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, Bobby Cox, and Chipper Jones, among them.
The Braves are the only franchise to have won a World Series representing three different cities—Boston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta. It is the franchise of Hank Aaron, baseball's all-time home run leader and one of the game's icons. It is also the franchise that gave us Warren Spahn, Dale Murphy, and former owner Ted Turner, who transformed the sport when he made the Braves America's baseball team through cable television. Filled with stunning historical and contemporary photographs, along with humorous trivia and plenty of statistics for die-hard fans, 101 Reasons to Love the Braves is the perfect book for any fan of the Atlanta Braves.

Braves Lovers' Delight,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 101 Reasons to Love the Braves (Hardcover)
Some books are as deep as a canyon. Others are like a Texas stream after a thunderstorm--a mile wide and an inch deep. Braves fans, welcome to Texas."101 Reasons To Love the Braves" is a fast read, mostly photos and captions. You'll learn a little about the Braves that you didn't know, and you'll be reminded of some things you knew but forgot. If you are a fan of baseball history, or better yet, if you are a devotee of the Boston, Milwaukee, or Atlanta incarnation of baseball's oldest continuous franchise, here is a wonderful little volume to please and enlighten. If nothing else, you have to admire the photos.

This review is from: 101 Reasons to Love the Braves (Hardcover)
I purchased this book as a gift and was sort of worried about the size of the book when it arrived. It's about 6x6 but it went over great! She loved it! The perfect gift for a die hard Atlanta Braves fan.

This review is from: 101 Reasons to Love the Braves (Hardcover)
My girlfriend is a die-hard Braves fans, so when I came by this I knew it was the perfect gift for her.The book is beautifully laid out, small enough that it doesn't bulk up bags when taking it somewhere, but also large enough that you can read it clearly, and enjoy the many colorful pictures inside. My only complaint would be that ever since I bought this for my girlfriend, she uses it against me to show "why the Braves are better than the Yankees." I better go see if I can find "101 Reasons to Love the Yankees" to get her back. Best of luck and long-live Baseball!
