The Milwaukee Braves' relocation to Wisconsin in 1953 was initially a triumphant success, as they drew a then-National League record of 1.8 million fans and finished their inaugural season second in the National League. Throughout the 1950s, the Braves became increasingly competitive; driven by sluggers Eddie Mathews and Hank Aaron, the team won or nearly won four straight pennants between 1956 and 1959. In 1957, Aaron's MVP season led the Braves to their first pennant in nine years, securing a World Series victory against the formidable New York Yankees. In 1966 the team moved again, this time to Atlanta.
