The Braves franchise history features memorable games and players, including a doubleheader sweep by the Robins in 1914, rookie Johnny Antonelli's debut in 1948, and Sid Gordon's record-tying grand slams in 1950. The team witnessed notable moments like the 1967 matchup featuring brothers Phil and Joe Niekro and a 1969 doubleheader loss to the Dodgers. An unforgettable 1985 19-inning game against the Mets highlighted the franchise's resilience, lasting over six hours amid rain delays, culminating in a narrow loss.
In a marathon game that borders on the surreal, the Mets endure two rain delays and 6:10 of playing time to beat the Braves, 16-13, in 19 innings on Fireworks Night in Atlanta.
Braves slugger Sid Gordon ties the major-league record for season grand slams with four when he hits one against the Phillies, contributing to a total of 40 runs, 55 hits, and 90 total bases for the day.
