The Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians will face off tonight in a deciding World Series Game 7.
There have been nearly 40 Game 7s in World Series history dating back to 1909, three of them involved the Braves.
Atlanta's baseball franchise is 1-2 in winner-takes-all games of the Fall Classic.
The Milwaukee Braves were in back-to-back World Series Game 7s in 1957 and 1958.
On Oct. 10, 1957, the Braves cruised to a 5-0 victory over the New York Yankees behind seven shutout innings by MVP Lew Burdette.
The following year against those Yankees, the Braves were locked in a 2-2 tie until a four-run eighth inning secured New York's 18th world championship.
Atlanta's Braves were taken to a Game 7 by the Minnesota Twins in 1991. Some regard it as the greatest Game 7 in World Series history.
The game featured a matchup between the Braves' John Smoltz and 36-year-old Twins ace Jack Morris. Smoltz lasted 7-1/3 innings. Morris went the distance of a scoreless duel that went into extra innings.
The Braves' lone opportunity to score came in the eighth with a Terry Pendleton double that failed to score Lonnie Smith from first.
The lone run in the game came in with one out in the 10th.
Alejandro Pena intentionally walked Twins sluggers Kirby Puckett and Kent Hrbek to load the bases and face pinch hitter Gene Larkin. Larkin drove Pena's the first pitch into the outfield for a Series-winning single.
The Series has gone two seven games three times in six years.
In an interesting coincidence, Smoltz will be calling this Game 7 of the World Series.
The Cubs and Indians each are winless in World Series Game 7.
Chicago lost the 1945 World Series to Detroit at Wrigley Field. The Indians dropped the 1997 Series in an extra-innings loss to the Florida Marlins.
