Picture this: it’s April 8th, 1974, and the world stops as Hank Aaron steps up to the plate. With one mighty swing, he passes Babe Ruth and makes history with his 715th home run. Fulton County Stadium erupts into pandemonium as fans celebrate, and the game is delayed while everyone takes a moment to let this incredible milestone sink in. Aaron would eventually retire with an astounding 755 home runs.

Let’s jump to 1994, and the Braves are dominating again, this time with Kent Mercker on the mound. Mercker throws a no-hitter, leaving the Dodgers scoreless in a 6-0 victory. Now, how often does that happen?

You know it’s a good day at Turner Field when former US President Jimmy Carter shows up to catch a Braves game. In 2005, Carter cheered on his beloved team as Atlanta triumphed over the Mets with a 3-1 win in their home opener.

But, not all Braves history is rosy. Back in 2008, prospect Jordan Schafer got hit with a 50-game suspension for using Human Growth Hormone. Oops! A little HGH hiccup in an otherwise storied franchise.

The history of MLB has no shortage of colorful moments, from legalizing Sunday baseball to Pete Rose working a walk in his first-ever at-bat. We can’t forget the greats like Nolan Ryan and Goose Gossage, making their mark as teammates in the same game in 1991. Or the barrier-breaking Frank Robinson, who made his debut in 1975 as the first black manager in Major League Baseball.

One of the coolest things about being a baseball fan is getting to experience and remember these iconic moments. As Braves fans, we’ve been privileged to witness some incredible achievements that will go down in history, and we can’t wait to see what’s next!
