About this park
Braves Field was built huge on purpose — a pitcher's cathedral with cavernous foul ground and early dimensions that turned home runs into rumors. The Jury Box and later fence moves changed the conversation, but the park's soul stayed spacious. Boston's National League club lived here for decades before Milwaukee called.
