Atlanta braves score professional#
The team states it is "the oldest continuously operating professional sports franchise in America." After various name changes, the team eventually began operating as the Boston Braves, which lasted for most of the first half of the 20th century. The Braves were founded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1871, as the Boston Red Stockings (not to be confused with the American League's Boston Red Sox). The Braves and the Chicago Cubs are the National League's two remaining charter franchises. They are nicknamed "the Bravos", and often referred to as " America's Team" in reference to the team's games being broadcast nationally on TBS from the 1970s until 2007, giving the team a nationwide fan base. The name "Braves", which was first used in 1912, originates from a term for a Native American warrior.

The Braves play spring training games at CoolToday Park in North Port, Florida. Since 2017, their home stadium has been Truist Park (formerly SunTrust Park), located 10 miles (16 km) northwest of downtown Atlanta in Cumberland, Georgia. The team played its home games at Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium from 1966 to 1996, and at Turner Field from 1997 to 2016. The Braves compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League (NL) East division. The Atlanta Braves are an American professional baseball team based in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
