	Uniforms of the Atlanta Braves / Milwaukee Braves / Boston Braves by Baseball Almanac

		After eighty-two colorful and often glorious baseball seasons, the financially-strapped Boston Braves abruptly moved in 1953 to Milwaukee, en route to Atlanta, breaking the hearts of the team's faithful, die-hard fans.
		During its reign in Boston, the storied franchise, now the longest continuously active club in the history of baseball, had captured ten National League pennants and a world championship, and fielded thirty-eight Hall of Famers, including Kid Nichols, Warren Spahn, King Kelly, Rabbit Maranville, John Evers, Hugh Duffy, Eddie Matthews, and the Wright brothers.
		Here one relives the remarkable dynasties in the nineteenth century, the "Miracle Braves" of 1914, the glory year of 1948, when the rallying cry was "Spahn, Sain, and pray for rain," and the lackluster final seasons in Boston.

		So, in 1928 the Braves moved in the fences substantially, added bleacher sections in left field and center field, and turned the diamond about six degrees clockwise, resulting in a very short distance of 297 feet to the right field foul pole.
		(From 1936 to 1941 the Braves were called the "Bees," and their stadium was renamed accordingly.) After the outfield dimensions more or less settled down (with a very short power alleys and center field), they raised the height of the fence to 20 feet and finally 25 feet.
