Book excerpt: "In this elaborately illustrated book filled with vintage photographs, veteran Braves sportscaster Pete Van Wieren teams up with bestselling baseball author Bob Klapisch to provide the definitive account of the Braves franchise from its first game to the present day. It's a dramatic season-by-season, often play-by-play chronicle of heart-breaking droughts redeemed by miracle years like 1914, 1957, and 1991, when the team rocketed from the cellar to the World Series."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
