1969 Atlanta Braves season 1969 Atlanta Braves season was the fourth in Atlanta and the 99th overall season of the franchise. The National League had been split into two divisions before the season, with the Braves somewhat incongruously being assigned to the National League West . The Braves finished with a record of 93–69, winning the first ever NL West division title by three games over the San Francisco Giants .National League Championship Series . They went on to lose the NLCS to the eventual World Champion New York Mets , three games to none.Offseason The 1969 season marked the first year of divisional play in Major League Baseball . The Braves were placed in the National League West division, despite being located further east than the two westernmost teams in the new National League East , the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals. This was because the New York Mets wanted to be in the same division as the reigning power in the NL, which were the Cardinals at the time. The Cubs consequently demanded to be in the NL East as well in order to continue playing in the same division as the Cardinals, one of the Cubs' biggest rivals . But the primary reason for this odd alignment was that the Cardinals, Giants , and Cubs finished 1-2-3 the previous two seasons and it was feared putting them all in the West would create too big of a disparity in strength between the west and EastNotable transactions started the All-Star Game, along with right fielder Hank Aaron , and won his first Gold Glove .Season standings Record vs. opponents Opening Day starters Player stats Batting Starters by position Note: Pos = Position; G = Games played ; AB = At bats ; H = Hits; Avg. = Batting average; HR = Home runs; RBI = Runs batted in Pos Player G AB H Avg.
