    Academic Forum 36 (2018–19) Progressive Team Home Run Leaders of the Milwaukee Brewers, St Louis Cardinals, and Atlanta Braves Fred Worth, Professor of Mathematics Abstract - In this paper, we will look at which players have been the career home run leaders for the Milwaukee Brewers, St Louis Cardinals and Atlanta Braves since the beginning of the organizations. Introduction In the past, I published the progressive team home run leaders for the New York Mets, Chicago White Sox, Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Boston Red Sox, and New York Yankees. Since I simply enjoy this kind of statistical amusement, I have done similar research and decided to publish three more this year. I find this topic interesting for a variety of reasons. First, I simply enjoy baseball history. Of the four major sports (baseball, football, basketball, and cricket), none has had its history so consistently studied, analyzed, and mythologized as baseball. Secondly, I find it amusing to come across names of players that are either a vague memory or players I had never heard of before. Atlanta Braves Franchise Name History In the 19th century, team names were not always as firmly established as they are now. The franchise that is now known as the Atlanta Braves started to play in the 1876 National League. They were based in Boston and were known as the Red Stockings according to most of my sources. But others call them the Red Caps. One simply calls them the Boston NL Team. In 1883, a different subset of my sources gave the name as the Boston Beaneaters.
