The Braves have a rich franchise history, with key moments such as Butch Nieman's grand slam in 1945 and Tommy Holmes breaking a hitting record. Felix Milan made history in 1970 with six hits in a game, while 1986 saw Bob Horner hit four home runs in a single game. Noteworthy performances continued into 1995 with Greg Maddux's shutout and injury concerns in 2001 with Rafael Furcal's shoulder dislocation. Key events in broader MLB history include the inaugural All-Star Game in 1933 and the introduction of the Cy Young Award in 1956.
In 1986, Bob Horner became the 11th player in major league history to hit four home runs in a single game, a feat achieved in a losing effort against the Expos.
Felix Milan made franchise history in 1970 by going 6-for-6 and driving in four runs in a 12-4 win, marking the first occurrence of six hits in a game for an Atlanta Braves player.
