Since its founding in 1992, the Boston Braves Historical Association has sought to keep alive the memory of the Boston Braves in a variety of ways.  In addition to our annual meeting and player reunions and highly acclaimed newsletter, we have sponsored research publications (six of which are in the Baseball Hall of Fame Library), conducted tours of the remains of Braves Field, produced commemorative mementos and established a Boston Braves Hall of Fame.

The BBHA's membership is richly diverse and includes individuals from all walks of life as well as members of the Boston Braves family; including former players, bat boys, ownership, front office personnel and their relations. Members range in age from those who are too young to have ventured into Braves Field to those who fondly remember their days as members of the Knothole Gang.

The BBHA exists to assist you in preserving the memory of Boston's National League entry.  If we can be of service to you in this regard, please do not hesitate to contact us.  Similarly, we ask that you aid us in our preservation efforts. Should you uncover any photographs related to the Boston Braves, please allow us to make a copy for our archives. 

We would also appreciate receiving photographs of Braves items in your personal collection and/or copies of documents and other paper items. If you possess an expertise or access to resources that could aid the Association, please let us know. Your memories will be handled with the utmost respect and dignity and will be promptly returned.

June 2009 update: Sad news to report as BBHA founder George Altison passed away on Friday June 19, 2009. To learn about his life please click here.

It is with the deepest of regrets that we announce the unexpected passing of George Altison on Friday, June 19, 2009. George held the title of BBHA business manager but was much more than that. He was a founder and the heart and soul of the organization as well as one of the greatest fans of the Boston Braves. He almost single-handedly ran all of the Association's operations, including those memorable reunions that we hope many of you had the opportunity to attend. First and foremost he was a loving husband, father and grandfather and we extend our deepest sympathies to his family. Thank you George for all of your work preserving the memory of your beloved Boston Braves. You succeeded in your mission beyond any reasonable expectation. You have provided us with many fond baseball memories and you will always be in our thoughts. May you now be reunited with Tommy, Sibby, Spahnie and the rest of your heroes in an eternity where Braves Field serves as your Field of Dreams. The Executive Committee of the Boston Braves Historical Association
