Savannah Braves
February 24, 2014
The Savannah Braves were the Class AA farm club of the Atlanta Braves for 13 seasons from 1971 to 1983. Several notable Braves prospects made stops at Savannah’s Grayson Stadium on their way to the Majors, highlighted by future National League Most Valuable Player Dale Murphy and 1987 N.L. Cy Young Award Winner Steve Bedrosian. The Braves moved to Greenville, South Carolina following the 1983 season.

A rare misfire for sports & media mogul Ted Turner. This 1979-1981 edition of the Atlanta Chiefs pro soccer team was actually a resurrection of an earlier club, also known as the Atlanta Chiefs, that played in the city from 1967 to 1972. Both editions of the Chiefs were tied into the Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves through common ownership (hence the Native American-themed identity).
