      You can choose to walk away. (It's what I did.)

    As a Tribe fan, this series never bothered me that much. I was really just happy they got there. I had a lot of respect for the Braves, and they were the better team in that series. There are only two things that bother me about 1995: they still haven't closed the deal since then (and they've had some golden opportunities) and I know that if they'd beaten Atlanta, the '95 Indians would be considered one of the greatest teams of all time. Still, 1997 and 2016 bother me a lot more. So does 2007 and 2017, for that matter.

  • @DrewSki12115

    As a Tribe fan at 10 years old that was tough. The 95 Indians were extremely fun to watch. Don't forget the start of Manny being Manny, getting picked off by Javy Lopez at 1st base late in a loss.
    Incredible memories and a exuberant amount of 9th inning comeback victories. Atlanta's pitching staff just had our number that year. Still waiting for that championship....

    • @davidwindell
      @davidwindell 3 місяці тому

      No, Atlanta’s pitching staff were given strikes for balls 3-4” off the plate throughout the series while CLE pitching had a traditional strike zone to deal with. It’s not just acrimony or revisionist history either, there have been multiple analysis on how the ATL staff was essentially given the four wins they got in the series.

      Not winning a ‘chip in ANY spot shouldn’t have an impact on your HOF candidacy. He played for a competitive Cleveland team, played in front of the Yankees crowd (HoF voters like that) had a long career…

    It's wild knowing that Cleveland now has the longest World Series drought and unlike the Cubs before them, they've appeared in the Series a number of times since their last championship. The Cubs didn't play in the Series for 71 years, barely even sniffing a chance at being MLB champions all that time, whereas Cleveland has been to four in the time since their last championship. I don't know if that's better or worse than the Cubs' plight, tbh, but it feels good not being team with the longest championship drought in baseball at long last!

    I think it’s crazy that the braves are hailed as the ‘team of the 90’s’ and they only won a single World Series, that’d be like NBA fans saying the Spurs are the team of the 2010’s

      Chipper Jones and the Braves were hot stuff back then. I was a kid in (actually) small-town Texas, not even much of a baseball fan, and I still had a Braves cap that I wore fairly frequently. Also, in that same small town’s nearest Wal-Mart , I was able to get one of the championship “Repeat 3-Peat” shirts that the ‘98 Bulls wore after their title run. It’s crazy to think about how much more present elite sports teams and brands were in our collective consciousness in the pre-mainstream-Internet age when TV made our popular culture somewhat more homogeneous

      Because they were. They won 8 division titles in 9 years from 1991-1999, only falling short in the strike-shortened 1994 season where they ended the season in position for the NL wild card (and would actually continue to win their division every year from 2000-05). But they weren't merely division winners. They had the best record in all of MLB in 1992, 1993, 1997, and 1999, and the best record in the NL and second-best in all of MLB in 1995, 1996, and 1998 (trailing Cleveland in the first two instances and the Yankees in 1998).
      And the MLB season is quite different from the other major sports. The NFL regular season is only roughly 4 months long, and teams play only once a week. The NBA and NHL regular seasons are roughly 6 months long, but their postseasons last multiple months, and they still only play roughly every 2-3 days. A Major League Baseball season is 162 games long, while the postseason is relatively short. Even without that much postseason success, the Braves' consistency makes them the obvious choice for team of the nineties.

    Stop using BA as a measure of how good a hitter is. McGriff had a 121 WRC+ while Justice had a 120WRC+. They were more than “just serviceable” that’s 20 percent better than the league average hitter.

    You know, the 1995 World Series doesn’t get as much appreciation as it deserves for bringing sports fans back to baseball. Remember, coming of the Strike of 94-95, a lot of fans were still mad at both the players and owners for all that had happened. But the fans were finally rewarded with a truly memorable Fall Classic. And our love for the National Pastime was rekindled again.

    This series reminds me of what happened to the Texas rangers in 2010 when they played the San Francisco Giants.
    They had a very good hitting lineup, and it went ice-cold against San Francisco's pitching. In fact, the Texas rangers only one a single game behind a shut out from Colby Lewis. That's how bad their offense was that series

    It is incredible to see how the current group of Braves have a chance to go on another absurd run of success. They honestly were a few lucky plays and injuries from already having at least 2 titles and 3 NLCS appearances in the current run(no reason we should've blown that '19 NLDS, and we win the 2020 NLCS and possibly WS with a healthy Soroka in the rotation).

  • @wafersmash338

    So I'm a Guardians fan. Growing up however, I was a Braves fan first, Indians fan second. This was like the best series possible for me. I watched Justice homer in the first game I ever watched on TV and was a fan of his from the jump. Him winning the series was just the best for me.
    But I felt bad for the Indians. I had met Bob Feller at a minor league game and since it was a bad minor league team, no one was paying attention to him at the autograph table. I stared at him for like a whole inning because I was enchanted that a hall of famer was sitting there. He noticed and called me over and asked me what position i played (I was in my little league uniform). I told him outfield or whatever I played and he asked if I ever wanted to pitch. I told him I didn't throw well. He spent about a half inning showing me how to hold the ball to throw a curve. He then gave me a signed picture of him and told me good luck. Couple that with the Major league movies, the Indians were a close second. Atlanta was technically my home team (I'm in South Carolina) and TBS always had their games on, so it was hard not to root for them. Over the 90s, I got more and more baseball obsessed. After the Braves finally won their title, I wanted it for the Indians. Then 1997, The Braves traded my guy to the Cleveland Indians, David Justice. I converted on the spot.
    I've been a big Indians/Guardians fan ever since. After the pleasure of the 95 World Series, I had to feel the pain of the 2016 series. It looks like the Guards are going to end the Tito era without a title, which is a shame.
    Thanks for the rewind on this moment. It was really well done and impacts me in a special way.

      The teams they lost to were better though. They lost to the Twins who had won the World Series 4 years earlier and had most of the cast from 87 with them, they lost to the Blue Jays who would eventually win back-to-back titles in 92 and 93. And obviously, they lost twice to the Yankee Empire under Joe Torre twice. Its unfair to say the Braves choked. Besides 95 where they won, the Braves weren't the better team in any of those series.

I did feel bad for the Cleveland fans because of the many decades of losing for all of their sports team. Then in 97 they made it to the series again against the expansion team in Florida, i thought surely that Cleveland would win against a team that was only in its 4th season. Boy was i wrong haha.
