Atlanta Braves

The Atlanta Braves are an American professional baseball team based in the Atlanta metropolitan area. They compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League (NL) East division. The name “Braves”, which was first used in 1912, originates from a term for a Native American warrior. They are nicknamed “the Bravos”, and often referred to as “America’s Team” in reference to the team’s games being broadcast on the nationally available TBS from the 1970s until 2007, giving the team a nationwide fan base.
