The championship parade began at the spot where Braves legend Hank Aaron's record-breaking 715th career home run landed at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium in 1974. The defending champion has been battling the crowd as much as his opponents this week, and despite struggling for large periods of the event, he has relinquished just three sets in advancing to the final. "I just took it day by day, step by step. I had fantastic support around me to help me through that, and I'm just excited to get out there," Stokes toldSky Sports'Tim Thornton. The Braves celebrated winning their first World Series title in 26 years in front of approximately 400,000 fans at the championship parade in Atlanta.
