	Atlanta Braves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Braves were a.500 team in the first few years in Atlanta--85-77 in 1966, 77-85 in 1967 and 81-81 in 1968.
		The Braves announced their intention to move to Atlanta for the 1965 season, but a lawsuit filed in Wisconsin kept the Braves in Milwaukee for one final year.
		However, the Braves were forced to play the World Series (and before then, the last few games of the 1914 season) in the rival Red Sox' Fenway Park since their normal home, the South End Grounds, was too small.
