The Atlanta Kings are an American professional baseball franchise based in Atlanta, Georgia. They are in the North American Baseball Association's Continental League. The Atlanta Kings have 13 American Grand Finals championships, tied for second in the league with the Baltimore Barons and Queens Bees, and behind the Kings' cross-city rivals, the Atlanta Thrashers. The Kings and the Thrashers were the proprietors of the Atlanta Monopoly, a period in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s where the two Atlanta teams dominated both leagues in the NABA. The Kings were also the team to pull off the reverse sweep of the Philadelphia Tigers in 1913, considered one of the best championship series in NABA history.
Despite the Kings' historical success, they haven't won a championship since 1967. They won their first Platinum Pennant in 50 years in 2017.
