Randy Johnson's Perfect Game
Randy Johnson threw a perfect game for the Arizona Diamondbacks against the Atlanta Braves on May 18, 2004, winning 2–0.
Between 1991 and 2005 the Braves finished first in their division in every season that had a champion, fourteen in all, and turned that into six pennants and one World Series, in 1995. A second title came in 2021. The record across 60 seasons in Atlanta is 4,926-4,547, and the 23 division titles are as many as any club has, level with the Dodgers.
Bobby Cox managed for 25 of those seasons across two spells and won 2,142 games with the club, behind only Connie Mack and John McGraw for a single franchise. The best season is 1998, at 106-56, which ended in the Championship Series. The worst is 1988, at 54-106, three years before the run began.
Seventeen Hall of Famers have played here, among them Hank Aaron, who arrived with the move from Milwaukee and hit his 715th home run in Atlanta, Phil Niekro, and the rotation of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz, all three of whom are in the Hall. Home was Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, then Turner Field, and Truist Park since 2017.
