Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
As Harry Carey, the father of Braves broadcaster Skip Caray, is wont to say: "Holy cow!" This book has everything one would want to know about the Atlanta Braves, from their early incarnations in Boston (as the "Beaneaters") and Milwaukee to their popular Atlanta habitation. Reference librarians will feast on the clear profiles, many illustrations, and heavy-stock double pages featuring players, dates, stadiums, and more. Regional libraries will want both a reference and a circulating copy. Larger libraries nationwide should also consider.

Review
"For about 50 years Braves baseball has been my life. Gary Caruso's The Braves Encyclopedia covers all the bases. It's well researched and is a must read for all who love this great game." --Ernie Johnson "I spent over 25 years of my life with the Braves, yet I didn't realize I was with the oldest continuously operating pro sports franchise in America. The Braves Encyclopedia brings to life the rich history of this fascinating team, from its birth in 1871 to the present. No Braves fan should miss it." --Phil "Knucksie" Niekro "What I really like is the way all the information is broken down by year, player, manager and into various other categories. This makes it easy and fun to read, whether you've only got a few minutes or several hours. It's brought back a lot of wonderful memories for me about my Braves career and taught me a lot...about the team and the role my teammates and I played in this fascinating story." --Dale Murphy
