The Braves led the league as late as August 20th, but they faltered down the stretch and finished fifth.
Phil Niekro was a rookie in 1965.
The 1965 season was the first for the Braves without Warren Spahn since World War II. Spahn had been sold to the New York Mets in November of 1964.

Mathews, Aaron, Mack Jones, Joe Torre, and Felipe Alou each posted more than 20 home runs, and the team led the league in homers with 196. Hank Aaron led the league in doubles with 40.
