The Atlanta Braves franchise has a rich history marked by notable games and events. In 1982, they tied the major-league record for double plays in a dramatic 14-inning victory. Fast forward to 1993, when Ron Gant set a record for consecutive strikeouts during a game against Houston. Off the field, in 2000, controversy arose when announcers were barred from charter flights after discussing the catcher's box issue. The team also experienced ups and downs, such as in 2001 when they overtook the Phillies to reclaim the NL East lead amid a significant slump for their rivals.
In 2000, the Atlanta Braves reversed their decision to bar announcers from flights after controversy surrounding the catcher's box at Turner Field, which led to a commercial flight for the team members.
In 1993, Atlanta outfielder Ron Gant struck out four times against Houston's Darryl Kile, marking a streak of seven consecutive strikeouts over three games.
