The letters ATL printed on the baseball cap are instantly recognizable as representing the well-known city of Atlanta. Atlanta is the capital and largest city of Georgia. It is also where the Fulton County Office is located. Atlanta has had a prominent role in shaping the American culture. It was a major organizing center for the American civil rights movement during the 1950s and 60s and home to Martin Luther King Jr. Since 1998, Atlanta has gained international acclaim as a major transportation hub, with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport being the world's busiest airport in terms of passenger traffic. It is also home to the Atlanta Braves, another source of pride for the locals. The Braves boasts a record of 14 consecutive division titles between 1991 and 2005, a feat unmatched in North American professional sports. The team also advanced to the World Series five times during this period, taking the championship in 1995.
