===The Macon Braves=== In 1991, the low league Braves saw themselves on the move once more when they transplanted the team to [[Macon, Georgia]], thus becoming the [[Macon Braves]]. Macon had a very long history with minor league baseball before their time with the Braves, with the earliest assumed records dating back to 1885 with some nameless forms before their predominant history as the Macon Peaches in the original iteration of the South Atlantic League, which is still active today as the AA [[Southern League (1964β2020)|Southern League]]. The Braves brought baseball back to Macon following a three-season gap with the departure of the Pirates affiliate in 1987. As the Macon Braves, the team saw marginal success, earning a playoff bid in their inaugural 1991 season (2β0 series loss to the [[Columbia Mets]]), mid or lower pack of the SAL South Division from 1992 to 1996, a 1997 South Division Championship in 1997 which saw them win their first-ever Playoff series with a 2β1 win over the [[Augusta GreenJackets]] before falling to the [[Greensboro Bats]] 2β0 in the following round, subsequent Playoff runs in 1998 (2β0 series loss to Augusta) and 1999 (2β0 series loss to the [[Hickory Crawdads]]), and mid pack success in their final three seasons in Macon. In total, the team racked up an 850β820 record during their Macon years, with notable alumni such as [[Al Lopez]], [[John Smoltz]], [[Chipper Jones]], and [[Andruw Jones]]. The Macon Braves would serve as the last time the city would host a major-league affiliated minor league team.
