Boston Braves owner Lou Perini blocks an attempt by the St. Louis Browns to move their franchise to Milwaukee

On March 3, 1953, Boston Braves owner Lou Perini blocks an attempt by the St. Louis Browns to move their franchise to Milwaukee. Since Perini owns the Braves’ minor league affiliate in Milwaukee, he is allowed to invoke “territorial privilege” in preventing the Browns from relocating to Wisconsin. Stating he has not been offered enough for the rights. By the time the season starts, it is the Braves who will have made Milwaukee their new home.
