Answer : ATLANTA BRAVES

The Atlanta Braves are an American professional baseball team based in Atlanta. The team is the only existing major league franchise to have played every season since professional baseball came into existence. They have won four World Series titles (1914, 1957, 1995, and 2021) and 18 National League pennants.

The franchise was founded in 1871 as the Boston Red Stockings. During its 82-year stay in Boston, the team was known by various nicknames but finally settled on Braves. While in Boston the team won 14 pennants, and a memorable World Series championship in 1914.

The franchise moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1953. The restructured team quickly improved, winning two pennants (1957, 1958) and a World Series (1957), behind the hitting of Hank Aaron and Eddie Matthews. The team moved to Atlanta after the 1965 season.

In 1976 the team was purchased by media entrepreneur Ted Turner.

The team was revitalized in the 1990s under the leadership of manager Bobby Cox. The team was led by the pitching trio of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz and hitters such as David Justice and Chipper Jones. During the 1990s and early 2000s, the Braves won an unprecedented 14 consecutive division titles, playing in five World Series, and winning one in 1995.

In 2021 the Braves advanced to their first World Series appearance in 22 years. Atlanta then defeated the Houston Astros in six games to capture the franchise’s fourth championship.
