This MLB baseball club, The Atlanta Braves, are a baseball team originated in Boston. In 1876, the Boston Braves migrated to present day Milwaukee before finally moving to Atlanta in 1966. This is where the Braves plan to spend the rest of their career, with a big city full of supporters and professional teams from the NBA and NFL joining them (Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Falcons). The atmosphere of Atlanta, where Turner field is placed, is outstanding. The stadium can hold almost 50,100 people at a time and when the Braves organization hold games there, ninety percent of the seats are most likely filled with exuberant fans ready for some baseball. As a fan of their baseball team, it is on my bucket list to witness a game.
Growing up, I was raised in a household of Atlanta Braves' fans, so naturally, I followed in those footsteps and became a fan too. Ever since I was old enough to comprehend what was going on and understand what baseball is, I watched the Braves on T.V. My favorite baseball player of all time, that played his career with Atlanta, is Chipper Jones. Chipper Jones was a third baseman whom was drafted in the first round of the 1990 draft by Atlanta. Chipper had the chance to play for the Braves when they won the only World Series that Atlanta has won in the last nineteen years. Although he only won one World Series, he made five appearances in the World Series throughout his career. He was a legendary third baseman and hitter which he could do from either side of the batter's box. He will forever be a legend in Atlanta Braves' history and one day soon, he will be nominated into the baseball Hall of Fame. In recent years, the Braves have been no where as good as they were in the 90s and early 2000s.
Today, the Braves are unable to make progress deep into the playoffs. In the season of 2013, they fell short in the Wild Card series and this year, season of 2014, the Braves have fell completely out of the playoff race. Hopefully, they will be able to unite together, use their talents, and strive to become the dynamic team they were in the 1990s. With skilled young players of Justin Upton, Jason Heyward, Freddie Freeman, and Craig Kimbrel, The Braves could possibly bounce back next year with an outstanding performance.
The Washington Redskins are a football team in the NFL. Originally they were named The Boston Redskins when founded in 1932. They are located out of Washington D.C., but their home field, specifically, is stationed in Landover, Maryland. This is where their football organization plays all of their "home" football games. Many fans and sports analyzers refer the field as "FedEx Field" because that is the name of the owner gave it. During the history of the team's existence, they have had some great times, decent times, and some very bad times. Even though the Skins may have had some rough years of bad football, they have still won three NFL championships.
