My mom passed away after game 2 of the NLCS (i was at that game) and after that it felt like the Braves won it for her as well as all the other braves fans like me. Loved the video and chop on braves country
Wow sorry for your loss. Prayers
Nice tho but rip tho :;;( That u csnt enjoy the win as a Dodger fan happy we choked noectbh a lot more even tho we couldn’t win in an actual season thoo :;((((
Sorry for your loss. Chop on brother
Sorry for your.... Prayers for you and your family.... Chop on brother
My condolences to you and your family! Chop on bro!
If I could say something as a Yankee fan - you guys were *really* the *true* underdogs, and, in Professional Wrestling terms, the *ultimate* babyfaces. The '21 Braves went through so much, for lack of a better term, attrition, but.... you came from VERY far behind, and you ab-so-lute-ly fought back the whole time. And you kept fighting. And fighting. And fighting. Suddenly, you're avenging, well, everything and, suddenly, you find yourselves facing the final boss... the Houston Asterisks............ where you *immediately* made history with Soler's leadoff homer, and then *immediately* cemented yourselves as the *ultimate* good guys by stealing EVERYONE (and, stealing everyone, of all things) a free taco. This team is the reason why *no one* should give up; this team is the reason why you should *always* keep fighting, regardless of the odds against them. THANK YOU, BRAVES! You're a true inspiration to us all.
I ugly cried when the Braves won the series. I'd been waiting 26 years for them to win.
Definitely my NL team to root for always...now let's wow next year and get one for the Tigers and life will be complete.
Me too man it was beautiful too beat them cheaters
@@mrgoatbeard Dude! Same Here! I'm from ATL but my dad is from DET and i root for both. Let's go tigers!
You weren’t alone
@@mrgoatbeard small world. My family hails from Michigan. A cousin moved here to Georgia several years ago. He is, of course, a lifelong Tiger fan but his favorite NL team are the Braves.
Us older Braves fans waited 26 years for this.
I've waited 20 years, that's how long I've been able to wait.
Like a fine wine this victory tasted so beautifully
Waited since 95 .. god I love sports
DUDE, this season was legendary for the braves
Legendary for baseball up there with the 2004 Red Sox and the tale of MoneyBall
Canadian Braves fan here, I've travelled to Pittsburgh to see Chipper Jones' last regular season game, I've travelled to Atlanta to see their home ball park. I use to watch the ball games with my grandma over the past 13 years, we've seen the braves come up short so many times. We wanted to see them win it once though, she died though about 2 months ago, just before the post season started. They finally won the World Series on the year she died. Im sad she got to miss it but I dedicate that World Series as a fan to her and so happy I finally got to see my team win it all, especially my fellow Canadian, Freddie Freeman. Chop on!
Believe me brother, she was watching and rooting with you! What a miracle run of a season.
Same here my fellow Canadian Braves fan. I feel for you and know what it means to you. Awesome you went to that game too, Chipper is my favorite Brave ever and Freddie is right behind him. 30 years for me as a fan so yeah, shed many tears with this one. Chop on!!
I'm sure your Grandma is watching and smiling from heaven. Just one thing though, Freddie Freeman isn't Canadian

At the Battery!!!😍🔥🔥
@@TJ-om2qv Yeah, both his parents are from Ontario Canada, one from Windsor, the other from Peterborough, all within 3 hours of where I live. Freeman holds dual-citizenship and in fact played for Canada in the 2017 World Baseball Classic
Braves fan since I was 5 years old. That was the 95 world series season. Now as a 31 year old, I finally got to see them win it all again. A season for the ages.
I’m 32 and I know how you feel. We’ve waited so long for this and the Braves gave it to us in spectacular fashion this time.
Same here, remember staying up late during summer break watching the Braves as far back as I can remember. Was also 5, but didn’t really know enough to appreciate it but since I was a little boy playing rec ball til now at 31 I’ve been wanting to see my Braves win a WS so bad. I still can hardly believe it!
I was only a baby in 95. Now ive truely witnessed their victory
I’m 32 and the only thing I could remember from the ‘95 ‘chip is a Cleveland player crying and I felt bad for him. ‘Chop on!
I think all of us are about the same... 7 when they won it in '95 and stayed up late watching them win it then... Listened to every game on the radio this year and cried my eyes out I was so happy... The wife looked at me like I was crazy
Great video, one thing I would recommend- add Matzek’s 3 k’s in 7th inning of game 6 vs LA.
Agreed. That was a HUGE moment in that series.
Matzek and will Smith really clutched up this postseason.
Hell yeah 😎 #battlewon #wearethosemfs
Biggest moment of the postseason imo.
That's pretty much where I started thinking "destiny". Matz just got the f(#k off!
To add one more to this beautiful piece of work, Braves country will never forget the heroics of Tyler Matzek's escape from a 0-out, runners on 2nd and 3rd base 7th inning in game 6 of the NLCS.
Incredible vid and GO BRAVES!! #ChopOn
That inning won us the championship 😊💯
@@jermainesims8836 Agreed. It's so hard to rank all of the huge moments, and every single player in the lineup coming up huge at some point or another but it does seem fair to say that Eddie Rosario's 3-run HR off of Buehler and Tyler Matzek's 7th inning appearance were the stamps on the idea that the 2021 Braves were a different animal and just playing so far above anyone else at the time.
Never even faced an elimination game during an NLDS, NLCS, and World Series that what was apparently ranked statistically as the 2nd most difficult playoff path to a World Series win in the modern stat era.
@@MLB_CoercedFreeman5OutOfATL Honestly I celebrated both those moments like they were the championship. Really felt like we were gonna win it all after that.
Yeah yeah that was literally the scariest moment. It could have all ended right there and he put a stop to it. Video needs that scene otherwise it’s perfect
Matzek increased the Braves' cWPA (championship Win Probability Added) by more than 12%! Only Eddie's topped that with 18%. Unbelievable this guy.
As a lifelong Braves fan, I thought our season was over with Acuña’s injury, but then they kept winning. Such an improbable and unforgettable season. I’m buying all the memorabilia I can afford and I can’t believe we get to call ourselves World Series champions!
acuna jr didnt get his ws ring unfortunately 😢
This made me cry 😢😭 I'm so happy. Never thought I would see this in a city I moved too 17 year's ago. Unbelievable. Atlanta Braves
Any team that beats the Astros I become a fan of... great work Braves!
Wow, Mike Wilbon talking about the sense of spirit he could feel in this team like no other year. Great call right there!
Especially for someone who hates the Braves
@@grennis its must have been so obvious, he couldn't ignore the facts
My grandmother is 83 and live and well, she loves the BRAVES…. To share this special moment with her was everything! She witnessed both CHAMPIONSHIPS 🏆…. I love my City and I love my Braves!
So many amazing stories from this Braves team. The acquisitions, Freddie enduring all the losing seasons. Snit waiting 40 years in the Braves org for his shot, Matzek’s story is well known. And to a lesser degree AJ Minter. Will Smith having some struggles and Braves fans wanting him out and then doesn’t give up a single run in the postseason, and was absolutely brilliant in the World Series. This Braves season is a testament as to how to overcome adversity and never give up.
I hope to see Jesse Chavez back too he did some good work at times and the bullpen seems to really like him too.
@@CrashCarson14 Chavez seemed to bring the pitchers back to centre and show them from experience. He is an attack pitcher and the others took note.
@@tanyamcpeek9846 yeah I get that he’s good
Cold chills and tears!! Thank you Braves for a magical season!💖
@fork doubt it lol but congrats on winning this year 👏🏽
Best World Series of all time. Change my mind. This wasn’t a team expected to dominate, and they flat out dominated! From 0.3% chance to win the WS to bringing it back to ATL!
This has to be tied with the 19 nationals championship. Words from a Yankee!
The 2016 Series was great as well
2016 was better
Maybe not the best World Series of all time, but maybe the most inspirational team of all time when considering all they overcame and just... kept... moving... forward.
@@cubsbaseballfan4445 1991 was better then 2016
As a huge Braves fan i will say that there is So much left out from this crazy season, but it would be an actual movie length if you put it all in. Fantastic video, i'll end up watching this over and over again. 🤘
Yes this is a movie.
Dude, it really does feel like a movie after everything that's happened! GO BRAVES!
This video didn’t even get to Hank’s death, Soroka’s injury, D’arnaud’s injury (and the 8 catchers era), Pache being a bust, the many outfielders, Will Smith’s tanking/turnaround, people hating Snitker, Austin Riley’s mvp season, Freddie’s beginning struggles, Ozzie’s absurd season, Swanson’s defense, Duvall’s RBIs (and that game 5 grandslam), lockeroom heros (Heredia, Joc, and more), Fried’s turnaround (in the regular season and playoffs), Matzek’s incredible year and ridiculous playoff inning, Luke’s incredible year and postseason turnaround, Freddie’s postseason slump and turnaround, the All-Star game leaving ATL (and other voting bill, name, chop, and location controversy), 2nd best fan attendance, NLCS and World Series mvps, parade, and so much more. It would be a multiseason tv show, not just a movie.
i am almost daily asking the Braves IG account how long woll we wait until the season tribute video.
ALWAYS REMEMBER STEPHEN VOGT.....HE WAS THE GLUE THAT BROUGHT THAT TEAM TOGETHER!⚾️🇺🇸
I live in Atlanta and am a big fan, this year has been so emotional for us and today (celebration day) has been the best day in a long time for me
Me, too. It was a crazy year that ended well for us. Today's celebration was amazing. I wanted to go but had too much to do to get ready for a baby shower I'm throwing. Otherwise, I would have been down at The Battery at the crack of dawn. Go Braves!
I cry like a baby every time i watch this video. Being a braves fan my entire life, this will forever be a top 5 moment if my lifetime.
W
Even though I’m a Mets fan, I have the absolute respect for the Braves organization for being under .500 and losing two of the biggest bats in the NL and going after three names in the trade market and winning it all. This is an organization that knows to never give up.
Thank you it is so refreshing to finally hear from a Mets fan who isn't trolling and talkin trash. It is nice to know that there are some decent Mets fans. I feel better about the state of the world already.
@@donaldmackerer9032 as a mets fan I don't understand how why our fan base dislikes the braves so much, the braves are literally such a likeable team with their players and I was rooting for them to win a championship just like the 2019 nats.
Thank u bro
My face hurts because of all the smiling I was doing during this video!!!
WHAT A YEAR!!! CHOP ON!!!🪓🪓🪓💍💍💍💍
I am so impressed with this documentary. Very impressively put together. Chop on!
I’m gonna show this to my kids in 15 years
😁One of the greatest comeback stories in the history of baseball and probably all of sports.
The legend of this Braves team will get better with time…
I will never forget this championship run, for as long as I live! #NeverGiveUp
I wished Acuña Jr. was playing in the WS but it all worked out for them 👏🏻
I saw him on TV during game 6.
I wish that also...but I was thinking that these 4 new guys would be sort of an advantage because teams knew who was at the top of lineup for thr last 3 postseason...and shit it happened
This couldn't have been scripted/documented any better wowww i love this go BRAVES, this is a real example of never quitting!!
What a season, ups and downs , Thanks Double A and Snit!! What a team and what a fan base!!! RIP Hank and Knucksy!!
And Don Sutton who used to be on Braves Radio
Amazing video! Brought tears to my eyes. Well done!
As a life-long Braves fan that grew up in Marietta and who still lives in Georgia, I have fond memories of watching them when I was a kid with my grandfather and mom who were both HUGE fans. My grandfather passed away in 1992 while watching the Braves in his hospital room and my mom passed away from cancer in 2004 but I swear, as I was watching Game 6, I could almost hear and feel them on both sides of me sharing in the excitement as we watched that final out when the Braves won it all!
I knew they were up in Heaven with Hank Aaron doing the Tomahawk Chop, rooting for the Braves and with that last out, it was the perfect storybook ending. It was like God Himself planned the 2021 Braves season and victory as the perfect underdog movie to prove to all humanity that anything is possible when you have faith. With faith, we can overcome any obstacles thrown at us. When we love and support one another regardless of race, circumstances, or political beliefs - anything is possible!
Here is another thing I thought I'd mention that proves this couldn't have been scripted any better as a movie. Hank Aaron died on January 22nd of this year. The Braves had 44 wins at the All-Star break. They won 44 more games to get to the playoffs. They won the World Series on November 2nd, the 44th week of the year. Hank Aaron's number was 44.
That is destiny. This season was epic! I believe this season was God letting us know that even in these challenging times in which we live, when it seems that all hope is lost, that God is alive and well and that miracles are still possible when we have faith and persevere regardless of how bad things may appear.
I believe that God used the 2021 Braves season as a metaphor to show us that He loves this great nation and that it is still the land of the free and home of the brave(s).
This season united us all. Thank you Atlanta Braves for being the vessel that God used to show that through faith all things are possible!
Braves became America's team
WOW!!!! Can’t describe the emotions I have from watching this. I have been a Braves fan for over 45 years and it started when I would go to my grandparents house and if the. Braves we’re playing it was on the TV. My grandpa passed away before the 91 season and never got to see his Atlanta Braves in a World Series. He would have been so proud of his team now. As excited and great full for the “95” title I am, their was just something a little more special with this one. Thanks for the great movie and memories.
John Smoltz said this one was special because they weren’t supposed to win. In ‘95 they were expected to win after 2 consecutive losses in back to back World Series. No one expected them to win this year given all of their troubles.
Making me cry all over again. The beginning of this video of our heartbreaks makes this all the more sweeter! I was 11 when they won in 95. 26 yrs I've waited for this. Now being older this has sooo much more meaning! Chop on! Go braves! I hope they keep joc and duvall.
I truly love this team and the players. The last time they won I was 5 and to see them do it again in my lifetime is amazing. Go Braves, Chop On!!
What a story.. What a year.. So many memories, and I'll cherish 2021 forever for the same reason. It truly was something special to behold in the sport and with the team I love.
Honestly the Braves were so underrated in the Brewer's series against a cold line up and one of if not the best record since the deadline. LA and Houston were even matches going in.
A powerful tribute 👏🏽!!! To see what this Braves team of 2021 has done is truly remarkable in it of itself. I have been a fan of the team for all of my life and now I am grateful to see them win a championship for not only the city of Atlanta, but for the state of Georgia!!! Go Braves ⚾️🧢!!!!
I'm crying. This was beautiful.
Only thing that’s missing is Matzek’s shutout inning when he came in with two in scoring position in the NLCS.
Chills. What an incredible production!
They went to work and came out on top! Congratulations to my home Team Atlanta Braves! 🎉❤️💙
Long time Atlanta Braves fan of 30 years. No matter what the future holds for the next incarnation of the team, the 2021 team was the most fun to watch that I had ever seen. With the 1995 team, Bobby Cox, like Earl Weaver would hold out for th 3-run homer that never came. The 2021 had the full package AND they were fun to watch. I doubt that will ever be repeated.
There are three feature films waiting to be made about this 2021 Braves team. They are:
1. Incredible run after the deadline 3-games below .500 with a brand new outfield and a staff of bullpen pitchers that were the best in MLB the last six weeks of the regular season.
2. The story of Braves manager Brian Snitker.
3. The Tyler Matzek story.
Name a team in any era of MLB that can top what this 2021 Braves team did this year with so much adversity to overcome.
I have been a braves fan since 1991, so I've seen my fair share of great moments and disappointments. The championship season of 1995 was great, but we were expected to win that year. We were a 106 win team that year and thus the heavy favorites.
This year was different.
I cannot underscore just how magical this run has been! It seems like everything was against us: the Acuna and Soroka injuries, losing D'Arnaud for 3 months, losing Ozuna, the bullpen issues, the All-Star game moved to Colorado. For the vast majority of the season, we had a losing record. Ask any Braves fan back in July (myself included) if we were going to make the playoff and the answer would undoubtedly be: NO! (At the end of July, we had a 0.3% chance of winning the World Series!)
Then, we started winning, but everyone said that Atlanta was in a weak division, that we didn't really deserve to be in the playoff. All the "experts" wrote us off: they're just an 88-win team, they have the lowest wins total of all the playoff teams, "The Dodgers came back to beat the Braves 4-3 last year." LA and Houston media outlets mocked our team, predicting a quick series finish where the Braves lose soundly. We were underdogs with Milwaukee: we won. We were underdogs with LA: we won. We were underdogs with Houston: we won.
What's more incredible is that all the teams we beat could have easily have won the World Series themselves. We beat the two best pitching staff in the game, and the best offense!
This season will forever live in Braves country as one of the most, if not the most, incredible season in Braves history. Chop on, Atlanta!
Braves were not heavy favorites against the Indians in 95.
5:35 literal chills
11:31 literal tears.
This mini movie means almost as much as my Braves winning the WS this year. I can't thank you enough for this. And I can't give you all the likes it deserves. This is so far the best way I've seen to relive the whole adventure. Oh, and here's a sub.
They could really make a movie out of this season and it would be right up there with Moneyball.
This would be right up there with the movie Rudy
This was an amazing video but I swear it only scratched the surfac÷ of our season. Im not just saying this because im a Braves fan....this season needs a movie. Its a fairy tale.
Lifelong fan here I'm 49 now and was only 19 when they went from worst to first in 1991. Arguable the best Worst Series of all time even though they came up short losing Game 7 in the 10th 1-0. Almost every game was decided by 1 run and it had 4 maybe 5 extra inning games. Finally in '95 when I was 23 we brought the World Series home! I thought many more would come but as many of you know our last appearance was in '99 and it was so heartbreaking to only win one WS after winning the division 14 straight years...a record I don't see any team breaking. This season was so magical it reminded me most of '91 when we came out of nowhere. I hope for more to come but it's so hard. 26 years seems so long ago but also fells like yesterday. Enjoy the moment!
Man, I love this squad of guys, they all fit together so well, and I can't wait for next year. Add in a healthy Acuna, Soroka, and Morton... Dude.. it's gonna be great.
As a lifelong Braves fan, I knew I was going to cry before I even clicked on the video....and sure enough
They can make an actual movie about this season
THIS!!! I’ve been looking for a video like this. So glad I found it!! Let’s go BRAVES!!
I’ve watched this video probably 2 dozen times. It’s saved on my HDD. The chills never stop. Has to be the best World Series win ever.
Braves fan till I die! This is a season I won’t soon forget.
There needs to be a Netflix series because I am a die hard Atlanta fan. This is Netflix worthy. Start to finish. I am so proud, and even with the season done for now, I still get goosebumps thinking about it. I will never forget the sweep!
I will always remember this season, They won the world series, It was my first time going to a game at Truist and so many other things, Lets go Bravos! Chop On!
Absolutely beautiful! I might have cried.
I’ve watched this video more then 20 times since we won it all. Incredible production, great editing, I get chills every time. Awesome.
Great video. I forgot just how difficult a road this has been. Go Braves!
This is one of the most beautfiul things I have ever seen.
This video gave me chill bumps. Such a wonderful team. They worked hard & played through so many adversities to get to this point & they certainly deserve the final prize. I'm so proud of my Atlanta Braves!! 😊❤⚾️🏆🪓
Truly a magical year! The team of destiny! I will never forget the Braves of 2021!!!
What a fucking perfect video.... The Greatest underdog story ever. My favorite Braves team ever
What a run it was for braves fans, finally got Freddy his ring
As a SF Giants Fan I’m am thoroughly happy for the braves.
Love them Braves, they are a special group, after everything that happened they never gave up and they kept fighting, you could feel something different about this team, I hate that Acuna and Soroka didn't get to play in the postseason but we'll be back, GO BRAVES
I cried last year when this team won the World Series. I thank my dad for making me a Braves fan since 1995. Go Braves!
I was in TV sports for almost 30 yrs and this a wonderful tribute and recollection of what happened. It also helps that I am a Braves fan. Regardless, very, very well done!
Freddie man, please come back to Atlanta. We love you, and you’re a legend here. To all of Braves country, I’m late on this video, but our wait paid off. Chop on, and have a great day
Awesome video!!!! I been a Braves fan since Sid Bream, Dale Murphy, David Justice and those guys! To see them finally win the world series after so many years of disappointment was amazing!
I've watched this video daily since it was posted. This is the most beautiful Braves tribute I've ever seen. Still can't believe the Braves won it all this year.
Such a deserving squad of a world title! Resign Freddy and look out. I could see a multy year run from these guys! Go Bravos!!!!
NJ/NY Braves fan for 30 years. From my childhood I'd go to games at nearby parks and be heckled wearing my braves gear. So much pride in this organization and this team in particular for their fighting spirit. Thank you for this video, I cry every time and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Cheers, Braves country.
This video is saved on multiple hard drives. It’s 2023 and I truly believe this decade belongs to Atlanta. Only time will tell.
Not even a braves fan and I absolutely love this team
I'm 28, been watching Braves baseball since I was 5. This brought tears to my eyes. Great video!
I am so incredibly happy that Adam Duvall got to cone back for this!
I am extremely happy my dad got to see them win again before he passed. Such a happy win!
Chop on! Thank you for the documentary
As a kid who grew up in the 90’s watching the braves and all there wins but only 1 World Series this here means more than people know. I’m in South Carolina and we all love the braves. This means more than people know. Chop On. Let’s repeat. This is braves country.
A tip of my cap sporting a curly 'W' to the Braves and their fans.
It was a gas seeing you beat the Trashstros, too.
You earned that trophy, a parade and golden numerals next season.
very impressed. acuna's injury was heartbreaking the braves definitely deserved this title
This was incredibly done! Thanks and Go Braves!
Chills ! Awesome video !! Way to go braves !
Really nicely done! Thanks for putting together an awesome recap of the season for us!
Return to glory, reappear the dynasty ... Moving
This made me cry happy tears. Priceless. Thank you!
I was born on Peachtree St. I'm 61. Grew up in the lean years. Saw Hank,on TBS,Hit 455. Watched our awesome pitching, Glavin,Smolts,Maddux, and a decent bullpen. 1 out of 9 series. Awesome year 2020. They earned it. Congratulations. Capt.Bob ,SV (Sailing Vessel) 27th Chance ,Tampa Fl. Go Braves !
Born east point . Huge atl fan . Got it tattooed on me. Lived in ATL my entire life . Dawg till I die. Man we needed this . 30 years old and watched the falcons blow it . Needed a new phone when it into my wall . This was amazing ! I cried so much. it’s a community. If you know ATL you know ..
2021 Braves will never be forgotten
That game two vs the Dodgers was epic, I literally lost my voice from all the cheering as the Braves came back to win.
Game six Rosario HR and then the Matzek miracle most hype I've ever gotten watching anything. Wife threatened divorce after the way i was screaming like a madman after the Eddie HR lol
I’m a grown ass man and this nearly had me in tears. INCREDIBLE video
This was amazing. There needs to be an actual movie made about this 2021 Braves team. The obstacles they faced. The legendary run by a team that was under .500 at the trade deadline. The greatest trade deadline acquisitions of all time. Literally a story meant for Hollywood.
There's no crying in baseball...Congrats Braves!
Just for this season full of UPS AND Downs,the braves proof how resilient this team was.They played hard every game AND stay together.Never give up,never surrender.
“The Dodgers just have too many horses.” That line cracked me up. 😂
I was a braves fan in 2021 I like the dodgers now because of Freddie but any ways even now as a dodgers fan this is still my favorite CZcams video ever
Man... what a season for the Braves. Under .500, star players get arrested/injured, and they somehow came all the way back and won the World Series. I'm proud to be a Braves fan.
one of the most surreal moments of every Atlanta sports fan. There are certain things you never forget through your entire life and this is one of them
A lot of Braves played injured in 2021 including OZZY that showed it at the plate..back and shoulder but still played,strong ,you can also see it in his throws to Freddy ..most of ozzys throws came up short...way to hang in there little big man!
This is a great video. As a Braves fan this was definitely a rollercoaster season with a special ending!!! #ForTheA #BattleATL #WorldSeriesChampions
Fantastic work. Figured there was no point buying the DVD when I knew stuff like this was gonna be on CZcams.
