Anotácia knihy

1996 marked the 125th season of the oldest continuously operating professional sports franchise in America: the Atlanta Braves. This comprehensive reference begins with the team's birth in 1871 as the Boston Red Stockings, and follows them to Milwaukee in 1953 and to Atlanta in 1966, playing under such a variety of names as Beaneaters, Doves, Rustlers, Braves, Bees, and back to the Braves. Because of this transient past, much of the franchise's history has been misplaced over the years until now. Beloved not only by their tomahawk-chopping local fans but by baseball fans everywhere, the Braves have become one of today's most successful sports organizations. The "Braves Encyclopedia" brings it all together. It includes: 150 player profiles from Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Warren Spahn, and Eddie Matthews to all-time greats Dale Murphy, Phil Niekro, and Terry Pendleton to today's stars like David Justice, Greg Maddux, and Steve Avery; 600 photographs of players, game highlights, and memorabilia; extensive statistics, including box scores, team and individual records, and trades; season-by-season descriptions bring to life the great moments, the World Series championships, the managerial strategies, the personalities, and the milestones; a comprehensive history of the ballparks; and a wealth of little-known facts and surprising anecdotes. Gary Caruso is the editor of "Chop Talk", a monthly magazine covering the Atlanta Braves. As a sports reporter for nearly 25 years, he has written for the "Atlanta Journal", has been executive sports editor of the "Atlanta Journal-Constitution", and a senior editor and writer for "The National Sports Daily".
