The1991 Atlanta Braves season was the 26th inAtlanta and the 121st overall. They became the first team in theNational League to go fromlast place one year to first place the next, doing so after remaining 9.5 games out of first at the All Star break. Coincidentally, the Braves' last-to-first feat was also accomplished by the1991 Minnesota Twins, the team they would face in the1991 World Series. The lastMajor League Baseball team to accomplish this was the1890 Louisville Colonels of theAmerican Association. The 1991 World Series, which the Braves ultimately lost, has been called the greatest World Series in history by ESPN.

Despite finishing last in theNational League West in1990, the Braves managed to overtake theLos Angeles Dodgers for first place in 1991, clinching the division on the penultimate day of the regular season.[1][2] This was the first of three consecutive division titles won by the Braves.
