1996 Atlanta Braves Team Signed Baseball. The 1996 Atlanta Braves were a powerhouse team, coming off their 1995 World Series championship and aiming to solidify their dynasty. Managed by Bobby Cox, they finished the regular season with a 96-66 record, winning their fifth consecutive National League East title. The team was anchored by its legendary starting rotation-Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, and Steve Avery-widely regarded as one of the best in baseball history. Offensively, Chipper Jones, Fred McGriff, and Ryan Klesko provided consistent production, while Andruw Jones emerged as a 19-year-old phenom during the postseason. The Braves advanced to their fourth World Series in six years after sweeping the Dodgers and defeating the Cardinals in the NLCS. However, they fell short in the World Series, losing to the New York Yankees in six games. Despite the disappointment, the 1996 Braves reinforced their reputation as a dominant team of the 1990s.

Offered is a Rawlings ONL-Coleman baseball signed by more than thirty members of the squad. Among them are Chipper Jones, Bobby Cox, Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, Fred McGriff, John Smoltz, Jermaine Dye, and more. Toning exhibited. Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
