Less than a year earlier, this facility had taken center stage in the sports world as the track and field venue for the 1996 Summer Olympics. Now, with the northern end of Olympic Stadium and some 35,000 seats gone, it's 49,714-seat Turner Field, the new home of the Atlanta Braves. With their pitching staff and recent history of team success, it's a sure bet the spotlight's going to shine on this new ballpark for a long time.
When he was Minor League Player of the Year, you could see him coming. Chipper Jones had superstar written all over him as he worked his way up the Atlanta farm system. In 1995, he arrived, shifted from shortstop to third base, and has helped the Braves to 6 division titles in his first 6 seasons.
We knew the Braves had a superb young pitching staff in 1991, when Cy Young Award winner Tom Glavine (20-11), Steve Avery (18-8) and John Smoltz (14-13) led Atlanta to the first of 2 straight World Series appearances. Then Greg Maddux was added to the arsenal. 2 more trips to the post-season have followed, including the Braves' 1995 World Series triumph over the Indians.
