Ventura Braves
January 6, 2013
The Ventura Braves were a farm club of the National League’s Boston Braves in the Class C California League from 1950 until 1952. Only one Ventura farmhand ever advanced to the Majors with the Braves. Bob Roselli was an 18-year old rookie on the 1950 Braves club and returned again to play for Ventura in 1951. Roselli made it to the big leagues with the Braves in 1955, who had by then moved to Milwaukee. The unaffiliated Ventura Oilers replaced the Braves in the California League in 1953 after the Boston Braves withdrew their support.
