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.

A red line month in a stall out year,
but then it crashed somehow and we landed here.
In your doorway on a fall day, I try and salvaged what I can.
Say that if I could hit stop I'd rewind tonight.
But then I guess some things are just black or white in your eyes.
So goodbye never had a chance I realize.
It's been sparks in gasoline and we got lit up, ignite.
I was part way through a dream when it blew up tonight.
So so long. Alone and halfway gone.
I try and find my way but I get lost in thought
on neon streets in parking lots.
A long walk where I belong.
I try and find my way but I get lost in thought
on neon streets in parking lots (tonight).
Up there's where they say heaven lies.
Know it's just black clouds in a dirty sky.
I'd call you but it's risky because I make no sense on whiskey.
With all my jumbled thoughts strewn across the floor,
I know they all read wrong so I write some more.
Some failed tries, my pen dies.
All a waste of time I realize.
It's been sparks in gasoline and we got lit up, ignite.
I was part way through a dream when it blew up tonight.
So so long. Alone and halfway gone.
I try and find my way but I get lost in thought
on neon streets in parking lots.
A long walk where I belong.
I try and find my way but I get lost in thought
on neon streets in parking lots (tonight).
I guess everything falls apart.
Loose lips sing ships and hopeful hearts.
Tonight I'll sit here soaking.
