ATLANTA, Ga. (WRBL/AP) – It’s a celebration a quarter of a century in the waiting. On Friday an estimated one million people will line the streets of Atlanta for the World Series Championship parade celebrating the Atlanta Braves.
The Braves beat the Houston Astros to win the 2021 World Series. It’s the first World Series win for the Braves since 1995. They beat the Houston Astros 7-0 in Game 6 of the series.
The Braves will give a nod to past and present with a two-part parade.
Friday’s procession will start at Woodruff Park in downtown Atlanta, not far from their former homes at Turner Field and the old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium.
