Braves celebrate 1914 World Series title

The Braves celebrated the 100th anniversary of their 1914 World Series during Saturday’s game against the A’s.

Both teams wore retro 1914 uniforms – although they did include numbers. The Braves wore a cream colored jersey with a red ‘B’ on the chest. The A’s wore a gray jersey with a black ‘A’ on the chest.

In 1914, the “Miracle Braves” had a 26-40 record on July 4th. They went 68-19 (.782) over the final 87 regular-season games. They went from 15 games out to first place in about seven weeks. They won the league by 10-1/2 games. The Boston Braves swept the Philadelphia A’s, managed by Connie Mack, in four games for the World Series title.
