	Braves Field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Braves Field was a baseball park that formerly stood on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts.
		The stadium was home to the Boston Braves from 1915-1952, when the team moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
		After the Braves moved to Milwaukee in 1952, the stadium was sold to Boston University, which eventually reconfigured the stands, demolishing all but the pavilion grandstand along the right field line, which was retained as the core of a football, soccer and field hockey stadium named Nickerson Field.

		In 1957, the Braves celebrated their first pennant in nine years led by Aaron's MVP season, leading the National League in home runs and RBIs.
		At present, Cox is still the Braves' manager, and Schuerholz remains the team's GM, though Mazzone moved on to become the pitching coach of the Baltimore Orioles shortly after the 2005 season.
		In 2002, 2003, and 2004 the Braves won their division again, but lost in the NLDS in all three years 3 games to 2, to the San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs, and Houston Astros respectively.

	Boston Braves - Stadium
		An anachronistic, dead ball-era survivor that never quite made the transition to modern baseball, Braves Field was a huge, luxurious palace when it opened in 1915, an outdated, oft-renovated dinosaur when it closed 38 years later.
		For example, in 1916, the distance to center field was 550 feet, while the distance to the foul poles were 402 feet to left and 375 feet to right.
		Home to the Braves until their move to Milwaukee, the park also hosted the Red Sox' home WS games in 1915 and 1916 and their Sunday games from 1929 to 1932, and was the scene of ML baseball's longest game, a 26-inning tie between the Dodgers and Braves on May 1, 1920.
