The 2001 Atlanta Braves season saw the team finish first in the NL East Division with an 88-74 record - the worst among playoff teams in 2001, and also the worst for the Braves since 1990 (not counting the strike-shortened 1994 season), when they had the worst record in baseball.
The Braves swept the favored Houston Astros in the NLDS before losing to eventual world champions Arizona in the NLCS.

Famous quotes containing the words braves and/or season:
“The brave man braves nothing, nor knows he of his bravery.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When we reached the lake, about half past eight in the evening, it was still steadily raining, and harder than before; and, in that fresh, cool atmosphere, the hylodes were peeping and the toads ringing about the lake universally, as in the spring with us. It was as if the season had revolved backward two or three months, or I had arrived at the abode of perpetual spring.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
