Maddux's Game 1 was one of the most dominant, least remembered starts in postseason history: CG, 2 H, 0 ER, 4 K against a team with a .694 W%, with 8 .300 hitters. But then, of course it's forgotten. What would a Maddux game be without people forgetting how incredible he was?
Maddox was a beast on the mound he could also hit you don't see that any more hell Steve Avery was hitting Homer's in 1995. I just can't believe right now everytime we catch the Mets tie them this year they catch up we were tied yesterday now the Mets lead by .5 games Braves better get it together for that repeat Worldseries and I hope we have to smash the Dodgers again only this time we will show why you don't turn on your team after a championship sweep them in 4 and head to the Worldseries #ChopHouse and leave the Braves name alone nothing wrong with being Brave and personally I'd be pissed if I was native American and they keep taking my teams away this is a prime example this series in this vid. the Indians are no more and for what so woke rich white people feel good about it when most all Native Americans don't mind having teams for the ones I know they're more pissed about being excluded. NFL Redskins Fans who are native Americans are pissed about that also
It was so amazingly frustrating to watch as a Cleveland fan. I'd actually moved to Cleveland from Chicago, and I dreaded watching Maddux pitching against Cleveland.
I think Greg Maddux is the greatest picture of the modern generation because he studied hitters and mastered his craft of getting batters out. He did not over exert himself by 100+ mph rather he knew tendencies to take advantage of the hitters weakness. The way he pitched should be studied for generations to come.
A few random and fun notes: 1.) Carlos Baerga recorded the final out in 3 of his team's 4 losses. 2.) With the exception of 97 and 99, Fox has broadcast every WS game since. 3.) The win gave the Braves the distinction of being the first team to win in three cities (Boston 1914, Milwaukee 1957). 4.) Dave Justice was booed during Game 6 until his go-ahead HR due to comments about the lack of enthusiasm by fans compared to Cleveland. 5.) Javy Lopez' pick off of rookie Manny Ramirez was nominated for the ESPY Play of the Year 1996. 6.) The Indians won 100 games in a 144 game season. Their .694 W% was the highest by a team who lost the WS since...the 1954 Indians (.721) 7.) The Indians had 8 .300 hitters in their starting lineup. 8.) The Braves held the vaunted Indians to .179 during the series. 9.) Hall of Famers: *Atlanta: 5: Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, C. Jones (edited in), Cox (Mgr) *Cleveland: 2: Murray, Thome (with 4 more borderline: Lofton, Ramirez, Vizquel and Hershiser), plus Winfield actually played for them but did not make the WS roster. 10.) Steve Avery, the only member of Atlanta's starting rotation not in the Hall of Fame, won Game 4 in relief. 11.) 5 of 6 games were decided by one run (Braves +6 Total runs) 12.) Of Cleveland's 100 wins 48 come from behind wins, 27 walk offs, and they won their division by 30 games, and have the 12th highest WP% in history as of 2021. 13. This remains the highest rated WS since the strike of 1994 (Nielsen 19.5).
Yeah Avery was bad ass though I'm surprised he's not in the Hall of fame he belongs hell of a lot better than a lot of them in the Hall. Plus I think 4 years ago Chipper Jones was inducted into the hall of fame. Those are some great statistics you gave us now we just got to hope we can bring a third to Atlanta October November will come and go before we know it I for one would like to see another Worldseries now and not have to wait 26 years again.
I was rooting hard for Cleveland to win the World Series in '95, they had the deadliest-hitting lineup in baseball...UNTIL they met head-on with the Braves' vaunted pitching in the World Series. Cleveland scratched out a pair of wins at home in their 1st WS appearance since 1954, but, man, the Braves' pitching proved to be too much. I was disappointed at 1st that the Braves won, but...they really needed to win it that year to validate their run of success at that time. Not to mention their narrow WS losses in their previous two tries only made the organization that much hungrier to get it done in '95.
As a Mets fan, this Braves team still gives me nightmares. One of, if not THE best rotation ever. A bunch of great hitters who always killed us, especially Chipper. As much as I hated that team, there’s really nothing that compares to that rivalry for me.
Lol FCS was a massive dump, but the memories I have there as a kid are priceless. I loved it no matter how ugly it was. I enjoyed Turner Field as well, it just didn’t have the history that Fulton County had. Truist might not be that old yet, but it’s getting it’s own glorious history over the last couple of years.
Man I loved this Braves team so much. As a kid playing lil league I remember I used to emulate The Crime Dog Fred McGriff's swing. He was my favorite player. He really did have such a big, beautiful, dramatic looking swing. He should be in the HOF.
I can say I was there 1995 the city was partying it was wild for a 12 year old boy from Alabama I got my bace ball sign by chipper Jones I still have to day
My childhood right here. Playing little league all stars. Huge braves fan from Tennessee. Both these teams were stacked with talent! Both teams were so fun. Braves should have 2 more rings.
The first of two. I was 7 years old watching this World Series. Two Native American teams. Indians vs. Braves. My favorite player at the time was Fred McGriff (Crime Dog) who is finally in the Hall of Fame. Fred McGriff started the huge statement & was the guy who made me a Braves fan with TBS in 1993. David Justice ended it despite everyone mad for a valid reason. Luckily Justice was served & he saved the Braves with my favorite pitcher Tom Glavine. When it ended I was bouncing on the walls. It was a Saturday night. Dad wanted me to go to bed. My mom said just let him, he will tire out. Oh I did later in the night but was knocked out for 12 hours as a kid. You don't see that anymore for anyone 7 years old. Fun Fact: I met Glavine in 2019 at the CWS in Omaha. Met Smoltz in 2013 at the CWS in Omaha as well as Kenny Lofton in 2016 and yes at the CWS & got autographs from each of them those years.
I was there that night...upper deck behind home plate...great seats...I could see everything...it seems so long ago...in fact, it's two stadiums ago...my greatest sports highlight of my life. Braves Win!!
It's amazing to see the class players had back then, but now baseball players show much more emotion. Such a stark difference between baseball now and then, but LOVE THEM BOTH.
The Braves did everything in this series that they didn't do in the 4 WS they lost in the '90s. Clutch hitting, big contributions off the bench, great bullpen work and fantastic defense.
Yep, it was the one year where the whole team was able to click during the postseason. Strange they weren't able to do it more but at least they got the one world series.
Only Ken Griffey Jr could match Fred McGriff in regards to having the most beautiful swing in the history of the BIGS, Crime Dog's swing was second to none, the fact he isn't in the HOF, it kinda baffles me...
@@packersauburneric3625 As in any MLB Playoff, pitching was the difference. That is what seperated the Braves & the Indians in '95. Conversely, the next season (1996) the pitching & hitting were equal. It was bench depth that is where the Yankees ultimately had the edge over the Braves.
I am so thankful that our parents, who were big baseball fans lived to see the Braves win their first World Series in Atlanta. Our Dad died on the seventh anniversary of their win 22 years ago today.
Love the Braves saw this when I was 12 after watching losing to the Twins and Toronto I think twice then 26 years later I saw it again at 38 will I see it at 39 Braves and Mets now tied for 1st place in the division with about 9 games left LFG I LIKE DIVISION TITLES BUT AS LONG AS WE GET A REPEAT ILL BE HAPPY AND IN THE NLCS I HOPE ITS THE DODGERS AND WE SEND FREEMAN A MESSAGE YOU DON'T LEAVE A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM BRAVES SWEEP DODGERS IN 4 FREEMAN 2 FOR 17 IN THE SERIES A SINGLE AND INTENTIONAL WALK SEND HIS ASS BACK TO LA. #GOBRAVES
No they didn't. In fact, they actually had +5 net runs in that series, and lost four games by a combined 6 runs. You want to say they lost, that's fine, but losing in the 10th inning of Game 7 (all because of a key baserunning mistake) is hardly an ass-kicking. Frankly, with all the shit we learned about the Twins after the fact, you could say it was stolen from them. Let me refresh: 1. Recall how the Twins artificially piped noise into the dome at key moments? 2. Or Kent Hrbeck's fat ass throwing Ron Gant off first base? 3. Or the fact that Kirby Puckett (and his famed "Jose Canseco milk shakes") was likely one of the steroid pioneers? Again, it was one of the greatest series in history, and the Twins won it fairly. But don't be counterfactual.
@@americankulak2294 Let me refresh. Kent Hrbek, Kirby Puckett, and the twins beat the braves ass in 91. We can have a pity part about loud noises and milkshakes, but frankly, I’m not a little bitch. As if braves players weren’t juiced up.

Maddux's performance in game 2 of the 1996 World Series was insane also. Dude was just a stud.
Agree with that - will never forget seeing this ferocious Indians lineup reduced to tapping weak ground balls around the infield all night.

Steve Avery started the game, did not win in relief. It’s notable for being his only WS victory.
How do you miss Chipper Jones being a Hall of Famer?

Glavine had the greatest game of his career in G6 WS95 when he allowed 1 hit to a that was a powerful as the Indians.

It was a great World Series

U could tell there was no way the braves weren’t going to win a World Series that year after so much heartbreak for them
One year after that, Yankee dynasty started.
96 was a heartbreaker for Braves fans. I was so excited games 1 and 2 of World Series. Then my heart broken 4 straight games after that
@@amy5262 I will love to see Yankees and Braves in 2022 World Series. Hopefully.

The Cleveland Indians are a charter member of the American League (1901). For whatever reason, they've only decided to win 6 pennants.
It's a shame these 2023 Braves sucked ass in the post season. The 1995 Braves could actually hit in the postseason. What a difference
If it weren't for the Yankees, the Braves would have won 3 championships easy.
