This was taken on what was expected to be the final home game for the Braves in Milwaukee. A deal was reached to move the team to Atlanta in 1965, but was temporarily blocked by a lawsuit filed by team shareholder, Bud Selig. The Braves played one more season in Milwaukee before relocating to Atlanta for the 1966 season. |
