Atlanta Braves
The Atlanta Braves are an American professional baseball franchise based in Atlanta since 1966, after having originated and played for many decades in Boston and then having subsequently played in Milwaukee for a little more than a decade. The team is a member of the East division of the National League (NL) in Major League Baseball (MLB). The Braves have played home games at Turner Field since 1997, and play spring training games in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. In 2017, the team is to move to SunTrust Park, a new stadium complex in the Cumberland district of Cobb County just north of the I-285 bypass.
The "Braves" name, which was first used in 1912, originates from a term for an Indian 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.
From 1991 to 2005 the Braves were one of the most successful franchises in baseball, winning division titles an unprecedented 14 consecutive times in that period (omitting the strike-shortened 1994 season in which there were no official division champions). The Braves won the NL West 1991–93 and the NL East 1995–2005, and they returned to the playoffs as the National League Wild Card in 2010. The Braves advanced to the World Series five times in the 1990s, winning the title in 1995. Since their debut in the National League in 1876, the franchise has won 16 divisional titles, 17 National League pennants, and three World Series championships—in 1914 as the Boston Braves, in 1957 as the Milwaukee Braves, and in 1995 in Atlanta. The Braves are the only Major League Baseball franchise to have won the World Series in three different home cities.

Shake Up
by: Bingo!I just wanna disappear
And run far away from here
Push all my problems to the side
Cause thees nothing left for me to hide
I just wanna break away
From everyone of my mistakes
Bet all my chances on regret
Start a new life and forget cause
Everywhere I turn I find myself in the same situations
That I've tried to avoid one too many times
And maybe it's time for me to just move on with my life
But first I'm gonna shake this town tonight
For the last time I'll leave it all behind
Because I promised myself the world this time
I just wanna wake up from this bad dream
Take flight on who I really wanna be
And I still got some tricks up my sleeve
And I'm hoping they take me to where I wanna be
I'm over this stupid town
Same faces same places
Where everyone meets to let loose
But god knows thats not me
And I've been trying to get up from the moment that I fell
Never count on luck because I know it always fails me
Everywhere I turn I find myself in the same situations
That I've tried to avoid one too many times
And maybe it's time for me to just move on with my life
But first I'm gonna shake this town tonight
For the last time I'll leave it all behind
Because I promised myself the world this time
I just wanna wake up from this bad dream
Take flight on who I really wanna be
And I still got some tricks up my sleeve
And I'm hoping they take me to where I wanna be
But first I'm gonna shake this town tonight
For the last time I'll leave it all behind
Because I promised myself the world this time
I just wanna wake up from this bad dream
Take flight on who I really wanna be
And I still got some tricks up my sleeve
And I'm hoping they take me to where I wanna be
But first I'm gonna shake this town tonight
For the last time I'll leave it all behind
Because I promised myself the world this time
I just wanna wake up from this bad dream
Take flight on who I really wanna be
And I still got some tricks up my sleeve
