Atlanta Braves have existed under their present name since the 1966 season - their playing squad in the first season included players such as Joe Torre and Hank Aaron. Their first game of the season, on April 12, 1966, was a 3 - 2 defeat against the Pittsburgh Pirates - the Braves' only pitcher of the game - which went into its thirteenth inning before discovering its victor - was Tony Cloninger.
