September 27, 200422 yr YES Winning 13 division title is one of the most difficult task in any sports.
September 27, 200422 yr of course they are. Doesn't matter about championships. They have been dominating their division since 1991. This includes the division rivals of the Giants, Dodgers, Astros, Mets, Phillies and two time world series champs Florida Marlins.
September 27, 200422 yr the braves are what i would consider a minor dynasty. minor in that even with all their success, they have still vastly under achievers when it counts.
September 27, 200422 yr Yes, they are, in terms of their division. They've had the talent though to win it all and haven't.
September 27, 200422 yr unfortunatly they are not, since they have only won one championship you can win your division all you want, yes its a remarkable feat but you still have nothing to show for it ... they know it and the people in atlanta know it
September 27, 200422 yr So many divison titles, yet only one championship. Come postseason, their season just fades away.
September 27, 200422 yr Yes, they are, in terms of their division. They've had the talent though to win it all and haven't. 574386[/snapback] Agreed. They're an NL East dynasty, but not an MLB dynasty. You can't be a dynasty on one championship. I think at least 3 is requred. 3 in a short time.
September 27, 200422 yr i consider them an NL dynasty. to go with the 13 divisional titles, they got 5 pennants in a 9 year span.

September 27, 200422 yr Author well the Braves arent exactly 1 and done in the playoffs every year they do have 4 NL Pennants to go with that 1 WS and if the Braves win this year... do you consider them a dynasty?(for those who dont now)
September 30, 200422 yr 13 straight division titles = dynasty. Too bad they've won fewer titles than the Marlins during that time....
September 30, 200422 yr Atlanta 1 World Championship and 6 World Series appearances in 13 years - No. The Yankmees 4 World Championships and 6 World Series appearances in 8 years - Yes.
September 30, 200422 yr 13 straight division titles = dynasty. Division titles = meaningless in this day of 3 divisions and a Wild Card. They've only made it to the LCS once in the past 4 years.
