In 1953 baseball history was made. For the first time since 1903, a major league franchise moved cities creating the way for others to follow. Milwaukee was just completing the construction of County Stadium built in hopes of luring a major league team but was preparing for the opener of the Milwaukee Brewers minor league season. Then it happened, on March 18th, 1953, Lou Perini the owner of the Boston Braves announced his team was headed west, to Milwaukee. That began the love affair Milwaukee, and much of the world, would have with the Milwaukee Braves. The Braves would call Milwaukee home for thirteen glorious years before heading to Atlanta after an ownership change. In thirteen years the Milwaukee Braves never had a losing season, a statistic that no other franchise can claim. Fan support was fanatic and a matter of civic pride for people in Wisconsin. As a result the Braves set attendance records and shattered expectations. ![]() This site is dedicated to preserving those memories, when Wisconsin loved its baseball team and the world was a little more innocent.
