By splitting the first two games in Houston, the Braves put themselves in position to hoist a World Series trophy on their own field.<\/p>\n<p>A village of restaurants, bars and stores outside the ballpark, called The Battery, adds a Mardi Gras-like element to the scene. Fans arrive several hours before the first pitch and stay late, turning game days, especially in the postseason, into a giant party.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Braves-fans.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Braves fans have given Atlanta a big home-field advantage throughout these playoffs.\" class=\"wp-image-19961351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Braves-fans.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Braves-fans.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Braves-fans.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Braves fans have given Atlanta a big home-field advantage throughout these playoffs.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI think the whole Battery, Truist Park concept and all led to this being a really fun place to come and watch a game,\u201d Braves manager Brian Snitker said. \u201cIt\u2019s wild in here. It has been all year really. We\u2019ve had great crowds from the beginning of opening things up again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Atlanta is cognizant of heroes past, as this first World Series game at Truist Park, which opened in 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roaches. In the past year, Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Phil Niekro and Don Sutton (he was a longtime broadcaster for the team) all died, hurting the soul of the organization.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Aaron\u2019s retired \u201c44\u201d is ingrained in the center-field grass, a reminder of his stature as the game\u2019s all-time home-run king for over three decades, and the class and stature he brought to the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve said many times there\u2019s a lot of bragging going on in heaven right now with all those guys,\u201d Snitker said, referring to Aaron, Niekro and Sutton, along with former Braves owner Bill Bartholomay, who died in 2020. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine how all of them guys, how proud they would be of everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another link to Braves history will be sitting in the visiting dugout. Astros manager Dusty Baker was Aaron\u2019s teammate with the Braves for seven seasons, beginning in 1968.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are the chances of me being back here with the Houston Astros, where I got my first hit, back in Atlanta, back when I was a kid?\u201d Baker said. \u201cYou think about the things that transpired in your life here. This is kind of where I grew up in my professional career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Braves\u2019 home losing streak in the World Series consists of five straight losses to the Yankees, in 1996 and \u201999. The Braves\u2019 postseason winning streak at home overall is six games, dating to the 2019 NLDS against the Cardinals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBraves Country is real,\u201d Snitker said. \u201cIt\u2019s been around for a while, for a lot, a lot of years. This has been a special area, what the Atlanta Braves bring. The fans have come out in droves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know that this group needs a lot more energy than what they have, but I think they can draw on the energy of the crowd, and they enjoy it and appreciate it.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
