The 1998 Atlanta Braves were a professional baseball team that competed in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member of the National League (NL) East division. They finished the regular season with a record of 106-56, which was the best in the NL and tied for the best record in MLB, along with the New York Yankees.
The Braves were led by Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox, who had been the team's skipper since 1990. Their lineup featured several talented players, including Chipper Jones, Andruw Jones, Javy Lopez, and Ryan Klesko. On the pitching side, Atlanta featured a strong rotation anchored by Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz, who combined for 53 wins and 3.06 ERA during the season.
The Braves cruised through the NL playoffs, defeating the Chicago Cubs in the NLDS and sweeping the San Diego Padres in the NLCS to advance to their second World Series appearance in three years. However, they were ultimately swept by the Yankees in the World Series, failing to capture their second championship in franchise history.
