About this episode

This episode explores the Boston Braves' historic turnaround in 1914 that led them to become World Series champions.

On July 14, 1914, the Boston Braves were still under .500 and sitting in fourth place, trailing the National League leaders by over 7 games. Just days after a humiliating loss to a minor league team, the Braves began a historic turnaround that would see them surge from last place to World Series champions in less than three months. This episode explores the pivotal moments, key players, and the remarkable resilience that defined the “Miracle Braves.” Discover how Johnny Evers, Rabbit Maranville, and a dominant pitching staff rewrote baseball history and inspired generations of underdogs.
