1961

Milwaukee Braves
The Braves spent thirteen seasons in Milwaukee and did not have a losing one: the worst was 1963, at 84-78. The record is 1,146-890, a winning rate of .563 that only a handful of clubs have bettered over any comparable stretch. They won the pennant in 1957 and 1958 and the World Series in 1957, beating the Yankees in seven games.
The best season is 1957, at 95-59, and it ended in the title. The club drew more than two million people in each of its first four years in the city, which no club had done before, and then the crowds fell away and it moved to Atlanta after 1965.
Seven Hall of Famers played here: Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, Warren Spahn, Red Schoendienst, Joe Torre, Phil Niekro and Enos Slaughter. Aaron and Mathews played together for all thirteen Milwaukee seasons. Home for all thirteen seasons was County Stadium.
