Avery had three excellent years starting in '91. Good career, but I wonder how great he'd have been. I think I enjoyed his pitching more than any other.
I read on a Braves site somewhere that he suffered what was thought to be a minor injury in a Sept 1993 start in San Diego and he was never the same after that. Within a few years he was out of baseball. BUT he did have two key playoff starts in the Braves' '95 championship season so he definitely contributed to their title.
Avery wound up being overworked. He ended up starting 135 games before he had even turned 24. Most pitchers don't become full-time starters until the age of 23-24.
This was one fantastic pitcher's duel, the likes of which you rarely see today. Here's Avery, showing what a fine pitcher he was before his arm turned into hamburger, versus Drabek, in a game that kind of foreshadowed the following year's Game 7, in which he was untouchable until the ninth.
In this series, the Braves went 26 consecutive scoreless innings until the 9th inning of this game, while the Pirates went scoreless for the last 22 innings of the series. Even with the way pitching is dominating MLB nowadays I doubt we will see anything like this again anytime soon.
Except for Van Slyke, the 90s Pittsburgh Pirates were trash. Bonds will forever be remembered as the guy who couldn't throw out Sid Bream from left field a year after this series. He hit about .032 in the postseason for the Pirates. Essentially, Pittsburgh was the Buffalo Bills of MLB. I hated watching them choke, too, because Andy Van Slyke was one of my favorite players. Van Slyke was trying to get Bonds to move up some on the play when he failed to throw Sid Bream out but Bonds wouldn't listen to him.
Naw bro. This team was LOADED. The best team in the n.l. And arguably the whole league. Heavy favorites n this series and got upset and completely shut down by Avery & Glavine. just couldn’t get a clutch hit n the big moments n games 6&7
You gotta have some brass balls to throw a changeup on the outside corner like that. I couldn't breathe as a Braves bandwagoner. This was more stressful than both Game 6 of the World Series and Game 7 of this series.
So true. He's pathetic. Had to cheat with roids so he could break Hank Aaron's HR record. What a bum Bonds is. Same can be said for all those steroid cheating bums. They ALL should be banned from ever getting into the HOF. But I give Arron credit, for not pissing or moaning about how Bonds had to cheat to break his record. Bonds will forever hold the "TAINTED RECORD" but not THEE RECORD set by MLB's TRUE HOME RUN KING, HANK AARON!!!
@@allancove4483 That’s what Hank Aaron was all about…..class. Class during his career, especially during his chase of Babe’s record, with all the racist attacks by mail, the threats, etc…..you just knew he was going to be classy about all this, but he also knew the court of public opinion would always have his back and claim him as the true king. RIP, Hammer, you were the best!!!
@@paulburns2239 I so agree 100% with you as Hank was & always WILL BE the BEST!!! He busted his ass & he didn't have to cheat to do it. I hope the steroid class NEVER gets into the HOF but ya just know they will at some point. This country dare I say it, has become full of whiners & crybaby's to where if they whine or cry enough, they'll get their way. Case N point, the confederate flag on the General Lee. And then a race car driver whined long enough & now the flag is no longer seen at NASCAR Raceways. Not to mention all the statues being taken down in the south. And pretty soon all those steroid cheating freaks who's baseball skills sucked so bad, that the only way they could get into the HOF is by cheating, will eventually get there, once they start whining enough. So let me get this straight. I paid good money to take my kids too a game only to see a bunch of steroid cheating bums play. That's not only a slap in the face of us fans, but it shows that it teaches kids that cheating was OK back then. So damn disgusting. IMHO ALL steroid cheaters should either be shot or stoned to death. Or at the very worse, have em stare at my mother N law. That'll REALLY kill em for sure! The one who got me was Rafael Palmeiro who sat on his ass & said pointing his stupid finger, "I didn't do steroids." Really? And yet the dumb sumbitch was CAUGHT doing them! He's pathetic! Just saying.

@@walterlv01 Yeah, at the beginning of the Braves' dynasty, he was my favorite of their pitchers. Dude was so clutch

2:37:00 Fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball, change. One of my favorite Braves moments ever.
When the Championship League Series was a real big event
What do you mean by that? Of course it's a real event.
@@misterwesleysworld I do not think MLB playoffs are the same with these interleages games
Tres juegos de la serie, definidos por el mismo marcador ... 1-0. !Tremendo! De otra época, sin duda.

Baseball was SO much better before all the expanded playoffs
Steve Avery was so nails in that postseason.
@Montana Roots he didnt give up the HR to Leyritz in 96. That was Wohlers.
@@maalmade most of the players from that late Yankee teams were on steroids .... nice try 🤡
@@shotguner4258 I’m actually a Braves fan, dummy. Get out of your feeling
Post season Braves in 91 & 92 was prime time baseball! Back when ML baseball was great!
It's still great. What are you talking about?

1:26:14 Maybe one of the best turns of dos I’ve ever seen before or since.
Amazing game
This is that real when sports was good
Commentators:
Jack Buck & Tim McCarver.
thank you
After that series I thought Avery was going to be a perennial Cy Young contender.
a good Pitchers duel
2:30:32 rip wearing #42 in MLB

Leyland always giving away outs via the sac bunt finally came back to burn him with Merced in the ninth.
Barry "The Cheater" Bonds, can't stand to look at him here even before his head doubled in size.
