Rivalries
I think the whole "team rivalry" section is poorly written and shows lack of NPOV. I suggest removal or complete rewrite with historical background and sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.21.33.62 (talk) 16:55, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Team ownership
Regarding [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Atlanta_Braves&diff=683691435&oldid=683666111 this edit]: the chairman of the Braves organization is not the club's owner, although I imagine McGuirk acts as Liberty Media's representative to Major League Baseball. isaacl (talk) 23:10, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

MLB's recognition of the National Association as a major league
Hello, I believe my previous revision to the Atlanta Braves article (seen here) should be accepted. After all, Major League Baseball (MLB) does not officially recognize the National Association as a major league, as explained by MLB's official historian, John Thorn. So officially, MLB says the founding date for both the Braves and Chicago Cubs should be 1876. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 16:10, 1 November 2015 (UTC)


 * You want to throw out Braves' pre-MLB history simply because that's not MLB? This article covers all the Braves' history, not just the MLB history.  The pre-1876 years seem like relevant background to me and would not likely be covered elsewhere. -Fnlayson (talk) 16:30, 1 November 2015 (UTC)


 * MLB doesn't recognize the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players (or National Association) as a major league. As such, Wikipedia should reflect that fact in the Atlanta Braves article. Officially speaking, the Braves franchise has only existed since 1876.

 * The article is not solely about the MLB franchise, but the entire team history, including its existence prior to the National League. isaacl (talk) 00:11, 2 November 2015 (UTC)


 * "The Braves and the Chicago Cubs are the National League's two remaining charter franchises." Not true since MLB does not officially recognize the National Association as the National League. The Cubs and the Reds are the other remaining charter teams of the NL. 130.76.112.15 (talk) 17:40, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Cincinnati Reds
My edits are correct according to baseball history, the Braves were originally the Cincinnati Red Stockings and in fact the first professional baseball team and to revert the changes back is lying to people and denying history.Sportsguru1987 (talk) 23:10, 19 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Please provide reliable published sources to support your claim per WP:RS. Add them here, not in the article, and other editors will evaluate the claims. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 23:16, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
