1959 Milwaukee Braves- The Fightin' Braves of '59

[@markroberts9577]

So much incredible Talent on that team

[@kevinmadden1645]

With all of the talent, they couldn't win more than 86 games . Classic underachievers. The dynasty that never was.

1959 was the beginning of the end of the Braves in Milwaukee, attendance started to drop and never recovered the 2M+ 1954-57.

Note the kid at 7:46, wearing a Brooklyn Dodgers cap, more than a year after the Bums went West,

Those “bums” went west and won 6 World Series championships 😭💙⚾️💙⚾️💙

[@MarlinWilliams-ts5ul]

Why didn't fans in Milwaukee support the Braves enough so that the team could stay in Milwaukee?

[@joeydbball1729]

For a franchise that never had a losing record.

[@michaelleroy9281]

Beginning in 1958 attendance began to go down and in 1962 they were bought by new owners who wanted to move the team almost immediately
