Think of all the future Hall of Famers in this series: Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Chipper, Bobby Cox, Murray, Thome. Bunch of guys who easily could be in there: McGriff, Ramirez, Vizquel, Baerga.
Man this year was awesome I remember being the biggest Braves fan at the time...cause in Miami all we could get growing up was Braves on TBS. The Marlins were just breathing so most of us stuck with the Braves till 97. Now I have to remind myself I used to love them. How did they only win 1 ring?
We defintely need a couple more championships. I feel like they should have won three in the '90s ('91 and '96) but always seemed to fall apart at the end...except for 1995.
I loved that when I first started following baseball, Lofton was the Indians CF and when I first saw Major League 1 and 2 it was like the Indians had a real life version of Willie Mays Hayes in center. Same type of player, same personality, same look.
It's pretty awesome that the Braves were able to beat the Indians offense. It was also great for the fans and the Braves that they won all three series in Atlanta.
ReubenBlade Great team man and one of my favorites by far! It was an awesome time growing up and watching the Braves back in those days. This was when baseball was baseball including playing in Fulton County Stadium. I loved that park.
@@jeremyrochford1282 yeah im a yankee fan and always will admitt that 96 team was theyre strongest team great line up that got Terry Pendleton back and added more young talent, that post season they just didn't play like they played all season. That seemed to be the big problem for those Atlanta teams they would roll through the NL but when October came they just didn't play as strong except for maybe DJ and Jon Smolts didnt get clutch hits when needed and guys cox purposely played for defensive purposes would make errors it would piss me off cause everyone liked the braves in the 90s they were that dominant and consistent sad they only got the 1 championship cause it takes away from that amazing run.
the Braves had one of the best starting pitching staff's in history during the 90s. the offense let them down a lot in world series games. if they had the offense to go with the pitching they would have won more than 1 during the 90s.
They had the talent and the offense. Just not the coaching. Bobby is a great coach don't get me wrong. A hall of famer for sure. But when it came down to touch decisions he usually came out of it on the wrong end.
Yeah AOL did Ted wrong. If Ted was still in charge the Braves would be still on TBS. WCW would still be going. The only reason wcw was canned is because the AOL people didn't want southern Rassling on there channel. Even though it brought in ratings. And so did the Braves.
I dunno that's it's irony. Especially in the 90's, pitchers will go after hot hitters hugging the plate. If the hitter is on your team, you side with the hitter -- no matter what. Vice versa. That's how it goes. Very similar instances betwen GM1 and Gm5, but the difference is personality. Murray hugged the plate much more than Justice -- he's more hotheaded that DJ. Maddux knew what he was getting into. Hershiser knew too, when he threw in GM1. But in the end, it was Murray who cleared the benches. Orel and Greg worked it out on the mound, as men. No hypocrisy. Untouchable choirboys in negotiation. I love it. #ChopOn
I’m 32 and a life long Braves fan living in the North East. My Dad and I would put this on every Sunday during Family dinner night, Best memories of my childhood, Despite my uncle and grandma being huge Metropolitan fans....Braves Country!!!! Let’s go Braves
Many HOFers and likely/possible HOFers in this Series: G Maddux, T Glavine, C Jones, J Smoltz, J Thome, M Ramirez, O Vizquel, D Winfield, E Murray, F McGriff. In time, O Vizquel, F McGriff and M Ramirez should make it. Plus this Series featured a lot of non-HOFers who had distinguished careers: O Hershiser, D Martinez, A Belle, D Justice and K Lofton.
To think that each team's speed demon played the same posotion. Braves CF: Marquis Grissom Indians CF: Kenny Lofton True Story About Me: I never met Marquis Grissom but I did meet Kenny Lofton and got an autograph from him 5 years ago at the College World Series (CWS) in Omaha. My mom thought he was taller. I thought he was shorter. He's actually the same exact height as me. My mom was telling me "He's cute." I said to my mom "Then ask him out. He's right there. I would like Kenny to be my dad". My mom was kind of hesitant at the time because of a tough divorce she had unfortunately she didn't want to. I'm telling my mom "You won't get this chance ever again mom. You can marry a MLB player. Are you kidding me, mom. Do it! Oh maaaan. Dammit Mom. It's okay though. I tried.
@@paultheaudaciousbradford6772 they won more games in the 90s and division titles than the Yankees. But if you want to be technical yes the Yankees was the team of the decade and the 20th century
This was the perfect matchup of hitting vs. pitching. That Cleveland lineup was stacked. They reminded me of the A's teams from the late 80s. Great pitching usually wins out in the postseason though.
This was really a great match-up. The clear-cut two best teams in baseball, teams with diametrically opposite styles (Indians with their offense, Braves with their pitching) and diametrically opposite ways of doing things (boisterous Indians, business-like Braves.) It's kind of crazy in retrospect that the loser of this series was destined to get shut out of a world title. The Braves should've won more and the Indians should've won at least one.
Super Nintendo it also didn't help Klesko's cause that two of his three homers came in the games the Braves lost. Gotta go with Glavine here. If a pitcher wins two games in a series including the clincher it's virtually automatic that he'll be the MVP
wvXvxvXvw that was a bad move. Lofton was not happy in Atlanta and left after one season, and Grissom, a local boy, never wanted to leave the Braves. They would have done better to keep Grissom. He would have stayed there his whole career given the option.
A few things from this series. 1. Kenny Lofton was defiantly out at third in game one in the first inning. Today he would have been out. 2. Awesome to see How many future hall of famers are in this series. 3. This World Series is underrated. It could have easily gone seven games. Every game was exciting or had some sort of excitement. 4. It is weird to see how young Chipper is here and to see how beautiful his wife is. To think he would have cheated on her years later with a hooters waitress is beyond me.
Kink E. Sizemore yep, he has the most home runs of any player not in the Hall other than those who are being kept out specifically because of steroid use. Pretty safe to say the Crime Dog never used steroids--he was as skinny when he retired as he was early on. Plus he had too much integrity, I think. He was always highly regarded, very decent, modest guy.
Cleveland is a very giving baseball team. After Atlanta gets their first championship, Florida does the same at their expense 2 years later... Then the Cubs break their curse on them last year. Ouch, Indians. Ouch.
HD Gemstones yes it seems like you can be dumb and be like urination tree where you can never predict right and end up picking the team against Indians and get it right every time in the ws maybe even the postseason recently
Pedro was the real hero for Atlanta in that series. Sure Justice and Glavine helped in game 6. But with out Pedros performance in game 4. The Indians probably had a chance to come back and win that game. And then win the next night going up 3-2. Pedro was the real hero for the Braves.
The Atlanta Braves won the most head to head against every team they played during their 14 straight division championships run. The Braves will always be the team of the 90s! The Braves were just the better team! Look at the Yankees and Blue Jays they lost for most of the decade. The history books worldwide calls the Braves the team of the 90s! That is a real nickname for the Braves. Just like the Amazin' Mets. You can't change history. The Braves are and will always own every team in the 90s in the regular season. Most games played between all the teams happened in the regular season. My Atlanta Braves own the Yankees team! My Atlanta Braves own the Phillies team! My Atlanta Braves own the Marlins team! Overall the Braves beat all those teams when those teams were at their very best most of time in the regular season even if they lost to those same teams in the playoffs. The Atlanta Braves only team of the 90s in baseball!
Irony I noticed here where they talk about the mistake Hargrove made in leaving Nagy in too long in Game 3, which cost them the lead but not the game. Bobby Cox made the exact same mistake in Game 3 four years later with Glavine--exact same situation. Down 0-2 in the series, up 5-3 in the game, low pitch count going into the 8th so he leaves him in. He also blew the lead and the Braves lost any chance they had to get back in the series and ended up getting swept. Hargrove's line was a bit naive too--saying Nagy had "handled Grissom and Polonia all night long and there was no reason to believe that wouldn't continue." Of course there was--good hitters adjust to pitchers after several times through the line-up. Same thing as happened to Glavine in that Game 3 of '99.
Sad how the Braves were overshadowed by the Yankees in the 90’s, as this was their only title(albeit in a strike shortened season) despite winning the division several times.
Out of curiosity I tried to dig for the song's origins. I can't believe it but google does not recognize the song lyrics. Can't get the name of the artist, only got an answers.com webpage with someone asking the same question and no one giving a sure answer. It sounds like either a musical showtune or a song off an animated kids movie soundtrack. Def doesn't belong in a sports documentary.
This was probably your best team on paper but your least disappointing World Series loss in terms of how the series went (blowing a ninth inning lead in Game 7 in 1997 and blowing a 3-1 series lead in 2016).
Fun Fact: Chipper Jones' wife in the video is Karin Fulford. They later got divorced when it was revealed that Chipper was cheating on her during road trips. He wound up getting a hooters waitress pregnant.
The Braves outscored their opponents in 4 of the 5 world series they were in the 90's, it's hard to believe they only won one of them. They certainly had the likes of the Twins and Blue Jays beat but it just wasn't their time yet. Nice to see them win this one though. 1991. Braves 29, Twins 24 1992. Braves 20, Blue Jays 17 1995. Braves 23, Indians 19 1996. Braves 26, Yankees 18 1999. Braves 9, Yankees 21
Tony Iacomi Man you seem to be all over the fact the Braves somehow won the World Series in 95? Stop making excuses and actually admit the Braves time was due and hard work pays off! When you have guys like Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz your gonna shut down a team on any given night and the Indians were no exception in this case. Get over it dude and how about make up an excuse how the Cubs somehow won in 16 after almost 100 years? You guys had chances 3 times in World Series play and choked but then again the teams that beat you WERE BETTER!!!
@@tylerstephens7152 The Cubs were a better team. I didn't expect us to even be in the Series. Plus we had 2 starters out altogether. One was our 2nd best. I'm not making excuses. The Cubs were better. The Indians were better than the Braves though. They had 3 good pitchers and Wohlers. They didn't have much else. It was more of a fluke than anything, as proven by the fact that the Braves got spanked in every other World Series. You say with that rotation they can beat anyone anytime. Well they only won a single world series so obviously that's not true. They didn't make the Indians look like a t ball team. It was 4 games to 2 and the Indians absolutely slaughtered Maddux in Cleveland. Glavine pitched an amazing game in game 6. If they Indians had gotten a second look at some of those pitchers, like play them 10 times for example, their bats woulda come around. Plus the umpires were really giving them pitches outside off the plate. Instructions to umpires specifically were changed because of that series as MLB acknowledged this. You don't see pitches that far off the plate getting called strikes anymore. Look, Maddux and Glavine and Smoltz were great pitchers. And they did deserve a world series, but the Indians were a better team that year. They won 100 games for christs sake and lost only 44. To this day it stands as the highest winning percentage since the 1954 Indians won 111 and lost 43. That still stands as the best regular season in the history of the game. The Yankees won 113 but played 162 game schedule, 8 more than in 1954. So the winning pct. is the highest ever. The Braves deserved a world series, and they beat a better team that year. Sometimes you beat better teams. The Braves hitting absolutely sucked in all of those years. They didn't have even one great hitter.
Tony Iacomi How in the world can you sit there and say the Braves didn’t even have one great hitter?? Fred Mcgriff? Chipper Jones? Javy Lopez was pretty good too. And as for the Braves losing the other World Series I would say in 91 the Twins had the advantage on a rookie team that was just getting their feet wet and the Twins proved the better team. In 92 the Braves made mistakes on the base paths and didn’t capitalize when they should and the BlueJays didn’t let up. In 96 we got way too relaxed and didn’t put the hammer down after a 2-0 lead on the Yankees and there is no excuse for losing that series. 99 the Yankees were on top of the world and didn’t have too many holes in the whole team vs a Braves team that was absolutely drained and done right after the NLCS vs the Mets. So yeah I agree we were 1 for 5 in the World Series and didn’t capitalize better. But don’t give me that fluke shit vs the Indians man come on! The Indians were a great team during the mid 90’s and kicked ass. But and I say but the Braves were just a little better and shut them down. Glavine gave up a total of 2 runs in 14 innings in 2 games that fall classic vs your Indians ok. That’s good enough along with Maddux pitching a complete game 1 and Avery pitched very well too. I love my Braves more than anything and loved that team in 95 and I just hate hearing that garbage about oh it’s a fluke or the Braves sucked. Well we were good enough to beat the Indians that year!
Fun fact: They would divorce a few years later when it was revealed that Chipper Jones was cheating on her during road trips. He wound up getting a Hooters girl pregnant.
Jollyroger then he had a second marriage with three children, another divorce, then a third marriage to a significantly younger woman who already had a child and now they have two more together. Hopefully Chipper finally got it right the third time.
The Joe Brinkman game. You can see the Indians swinging at pitches way outside because he kept calling those pitches strikes. No one 1 hits the 95 Indians without help.
Jim Kaat used to say Tom Glavine drives on low and away avenue because that's where most of his pitches were. I suppose his reputation got him a lot of outside pitches called strikes as his career went on. Rivera got a lot of called strikes out of the strike zone too.
A lot of us only count pro sports with college championships being separated for not being at the highest level of the sport. But I'm sure in the south and Midwest that mentality is different. In the northeast, college sports are not as high of a priority because we don't have many great college teams around here and we do have many great pro teams.

The Braves should have more than one World Series unfortunately for them they ran into a twins team in 91 that was on a mission they were the all around best team of the decade in the 90s in my opinion and in 96 they ran into the Damn Yankees man I can't stand the Yankees
3:05: "...and the celebration begins down on the natural surface of this ballpark..." What an odd non sequitur. It's kind of like saying "the celebration begins in this ballpark where they sell hot dogs..."

the Braves had one of the best starting pitching staff's in history during the 90s. the offense let them down a lot in world series games. if they had the offense to go with the pitching they would have won more than 1 during the 90s.
So did the defense & bullpen (at least in '96)
They had the talent and the offense. Just not the coaching. Bobby is a great coach don't get me wrong. A hall of famer for sure. But when it came down to touch decisions he usually came out of it on the wrong end.

Imagine how different things could have been for them if they had a closer almost as good as Mo.
THE ATLANTA BRAVES ARE THE REAL TEAM OF THE 1990's! Yes they are! No doubt about it! This was MLB baseball's very best team of the decade.
Blue jays beat them
Does anyone know the name of the song at the end? I'm absolutely obsessed with how awful it is.
Well judging by the chorus, I'd be surprised if it was called anything other than Reaching For The Top. Lol.
Out of curiosity I tried to dig for the song's origins. I can't believe it but google does not recognize the song lyrics. Can't get the name of the artist, only got an answers.com webpage with someone asking the same question and no one giving a sure answer. It sounds like either a musical showtune or a song off an animated kids movie soundtrack. Def doesn't belong in a sports documentary.
billny33 Here's what you're looking for -- I wondered what this was forever myself...itunes.apple.com/ng/album/reaching-for-top-multimedia/id444709935
+billny33 its called Reaching For The Top by Network Music Ensemble (?) I shazamed it.
deez nuts
I wish the braves still could play like this
Wish came true.
You called it.
who remembers when Kenny Lofton was traded to Atlanta? Talk about an absolute bust...
I do not miss the massive 90's strike zone
I shuddered a little at that deliverance banjo joke. 🐷
El presidente dennis martinez good pitcher
First Nicaraguan in the Major Leagues
37:08 What the HELL does Jose Mesa say there???
You heard exactly what he said.
He said your hair looks nice
@@orbonds3603 lol
Being Born and raised in Cleveland......this is still bitter sweet but it feels good to know what it took fto triumph over the tribe
This was probably your best team on paper but your least disappointing World Series loss in terms of how the series went (blowing a ninth inning lead in Game 7 in 1997 and blowing a 3-1 series lead in 2016).
Just think the caves and Indians both made it all th r way that yr wouldive been epic to bring both titles home Cleveland be overachieving most times
didn't Dave Winfield say something similar to jays fans in 92 but they didn't question it
What he say?
That's my brother! See you at Ty' s Wedding!
World Series of bat flips
Flint
game 1 orel going into 7 and greg throwing complete game and they barely get excited about it like it was normal.
Fun Fact: Chipper Jones' wife in the video is Karin Fulford. They later got divorced when it was revealed that Chipper was cheating on her during road trips. He wound up getting a hooters waitress pregnant.
The Braves outscored their opponents in 4 of the 5 world series they were in the 90's, it's hard to believe they only won one of them. They certainly had the likes of the Twins and Blue Jays beat but it just wasn't their time yet. Nice to see them win this one though.
1991. Braves 29, Twins 24
1992. Braves 20, Blue Jays 17
1995. Braves 23, Indians 19
1996. Braves 26, Yankees 18
1999. Braves 9, Yankees 21
Jay Nicks
Still can't get over the loss in 96 after being up 2-0.
Its hard to believe they won this one. The Indians were better.
Tony Iacomi Man you seem to be all over the fact the Braves somehow won the World Series in 95? Stop making excuses and actually admit the Braves time was due and hard work pays off! When you have guys like Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz your gonna shut down a team on any given night and the Indians were no exception in this case. Get over it dude and how about make up an excuse how the Cubs somehow won in 16 after almost 100 years? You guys had chances 3 times in World Series play and choked but then again the teams that beat you WERE BETTER!!!
@@tylerstephens7152 The Cubs were a better team. I didn't expect us to even be in the Series. Plus we had 2 starters out altogether. One was our 2nd best. I'm not making excuses. The Cubs were better. The Indians were better than the Braves though. They had 3 good pitchers and Wohlers. They didn't have much else. It was more of a fluke than anything, as proven by the fact that the Braves got spanked in every other World Series. You say with that rotation they can beat anyone anytime. Well they only won a single world series so obviously that's not true.
They didn't make the Indians look like a t ball team. It was 4 games to 2 and the Indians absolutely slaughtered Maddux in Cleveland. Glavine pitched an amazing game in game 6. If they Indians had gotten a second look at some of those pitchers, like play them 10 times for example, their bats woulda come around. Plus the umpires were really giving them pitches outside off the plate. Instructions to umpires specifically were changed because of that series as MLB acknowledged this. You don't see pitches that far off the plate getting called strikes anymore.
Look, Maddux and Glavine and Smoltz were great pitchers. And they did deserve a world series, but the Indians were a better team that year. They won 100 games for christs sake and lost only 44. To this day it stands as the highest winning percentage since the 1954 Indians won 111 and lost 43. That still stands as the best regular season in the history of the game. The Yankees won 113 but played 162 game schedule, 8 more than in 1954. So the winning pct. is the highest ever.
The Braves deserved a world series, and they beat a better team that year. Sometimes you beat better teams. The Braves hitting absolutely sucked in all of those years. They didn't have even one great hitter.
Tony Iacomi How in the world can you sit there and say the Braves didn’t even have one great hitter?? Fred Mcgriff? Chipper Jones? Javy Lopez was pretty good too. And as for the Braves losing the other World Series I would say in 91 the Twins had the advantage on a rookie team that was just getting their feet wet and the Twins proved the better team. In 92 the Braves made mistakes on the base paths and didn’t capitalize when they should and the BlueJays didn’t let up. In 96 we got way too relaxed and didn’t put the hammer down after a 2-0 lead on the Yankees and there is no excuse for losing that series. 99 the Yankees were on top of the world and didn’t have too many holes in the whole team vs a Braves team that was absolutely drained and done right after the NLCS vs the Mets. So yeah I agree we were 1 for 5 in the World Series and didn’t capitalize better. But don’t give me that fluke shit vs the Indians man come on! The Indians were a great team during the mid 90’s and kicked ass. But and I say but the Braves were just a little better and shut them down. Glavine gave up a total of 2 runs in 14 innings in 2 games that fall classic vs your Indians ok. That’s good enough along with Maddux pitching a complete game 1 and Avery pitched very well too. I love my Braves more than anything and loved that team in 95 and I just hate hearing that garbage about oh it’s a fluke or the Braves sucked. Well we were good enough to beat the Indians that year!
Really great video go Braves
The Atlanta braves should have at least 6 championship 91 92 93 95 96 2021
dad flirting with chippers girl
like father like son right?
Totally. Her body language was NOT about Chipper's dad. She looks like she is telling everyone "Chipper's dad gives me the creeps!".
Fun fact: They would divorce a few years later when it was revealed that Chipper Jones was cheating on her during road trips. He wound up getting a Hooters girl pregnant.
Jollyroger then he had a second marriage with three children, another divorce, then a third marriage to a significantly younger woman who already had a child and now they have two more together. Hopefully Chipper finally got it right the third time.
ADEAL918 well when you have the money you can get any girl over 19 lol
Those Indians uniforms are 🔥🔥the road ones
At 39:19 when he says there has never been a club come back from 3-0 please remember this was made in 1995
The Joe Brinkman game. You can see the Indians swinging at pitches way outside because he kept calling those pitches strikes. No one 1 hits the 95 Indians without help.
Jim Kaat used to say Tom Glavine drives on low and away avenue because that's where most of his pitches were. I suppose his reputation got him a lot of outside pitches called strikes as his career went on. Rivera got a lot of called strikes out of the strike zone too.
Awesome
As a Indians fan appreciated the respected rivalry and even now braves mabye fav sec team way before this year btw no bandaging lol
Carlos Baegra made the last out in 3 of the 4 losses Cleavland had in the world series
59:41 technically it wasn't Atlanta's first championship. Georgia Tech won the college football national title in 1990.
A lot of us only count pro sports with college championships being separated for not being at the highest level of the sport. But I'm sure in the south and Midwest that mentality is different. In the northeast, college sports are not as high of a priority because we don't have many great college teams around here and we do have many great pro teams.
Derek wears the same blue shirt in A World Of Music Tina wears the same overalls with a white shirt in A Splash Party Please Min wears the same outfit with a green shorts in Hi Neighbor Kathy wears the same pink shirt in A Camping We Will Go
@billny33 hello I’m sorry I know it may seem jibberish. It’s my son who has autism who loves your videos but writes/comments kind of what he can.
Is it me or did Carlos Baerga make the final out in every game? Lol
At least all the games in Atlanta.
Look how young Chipper is oml
With all that starting pitching, Braves should've won more than one World Series
It's very hard to build a dynasty but they definitely should have won a second championship at the very least.
This is why you need a good bullpen to go along with it.
Eddie Murray was a former Met and Charlie O'Brien was also a former Met. How ironic.
@ 18:27 this clip is no wonder why scalping tickets is illegal
What in the world is the song at the end 😂
Dang chipper looks like his dad
batman's prediction was right glavine did give up just 3 hits. (in 6 innings)
Pretty sure they mistakenly show Mo Vaughn with the Red Sox at 3:23 during a Cleveland montage.
That was a swing and a miss by Vaughn, I think they were trying to show Cleveland's pitching.
The song at the end has always made me feel better and blessed!
Pffft
Is what I say to that.
That's for old people.
The Braves should have more than one World Series unfortunately for them they ran into a twins team in 91 that was on a mission they were the all around best team of the decade in the 90s in my opinion and in 96 they ran into the Damn Yankees man I can't stand the Yankees
Arriba los Pinches bravos de Atlanta y ese chingón bullpen, el mejor de los 90s
53:17 Thomenator
Pena didn't get his ring as an Indian player but at least he got one as a Yankee coach lol.
The other team's fans always seem so cocky to me.
@Paul Robinson They're the one team that won't break their drought. The Red Sox, White Sox and Cubs all got it done.
87Khein Does the Expos/ Nationals count?
ha the drunk Cleveland fan needs to get his sports analogies in order
@29:49 You can actually witness the antithesis of rhythm.
3:05: "...and the celebration begins down on the natural surface of this ballpark..." What an odd non sequitur. It's kind of like saying "the celebration begins in this ballpark where they sell hot dogs..."
Damn...Chipper's original wife was gorgeous.
Why is the audio mono for this video?
pwnn00bzorz1 I have a speaker and it does perfectly fine for mono and stereo.
I would say this is a VHS from 95...so...anything is possible
Expos fans at 1:00:01 why did we get rid of Grissom
I'm calling it now. Atlanta's next World Series title will come against the White Sox.
Well you got the World Series title right just not the opponent but you got the most important part right 😁😁
ATL!
Orel Hershiser was the biggest crybaby of his generation.
Costas: the team of the 90s has its world championship
Yankees: wait just a second
