50th Anniversary 1948 NL pennant
In 1948, the team won the National League pennant by capturing 91 games to finish 6.5 places ahead of the second–place St. Louis Cardinals. The pitching staff was anchored by Hall of Famer Warren Spahn and Johnny Sain, who won 39 games between them. The Braves lost the 1948 World Series in six games to the Cleveland Indians (who had beaten the Red Sox in a tie-breaker game to spoil an all-Boston World Series).
1948 NL pennant was the only one the Braves would win while in Boston. The Braves moved to Milwaukee in 1953
