The Milwaukee Brewers were one of the original teams when the American League was
formed in 1901. However the team left for St. Louis after only one season. The
Milwaukee Brewers of the minor league American Association took their place and
played in Milwaukee from 1902-1952. Major League Baseball returned to Milwaukee when
the Boston Braves moved to Milwaukee the following year. The Milwaukee Braves played
in the National League from 1953-1965 and then moved to Atlanta at the end of the
season. The Milwaukee Braves won their only World Series championship in 1957. After
only playing one season in Seattle, the Pilots moved to Milwaukee and became the
Brewers in 1970, playing in the American League once again. In 1998, the Brewers
switched to the National League where they continue to play today.
