I was 28 and my brother and I were sitting four rows back, upper deck on the third base side. I had a feeling the whole game that the Braves were going to "steal defeat from the jaws of victory" like they always did. Dave Justice said, "I don't think so". When he hit that homer, the only run Glavine needed, a 300 lb black lady sitting behind me, bear hugged me an lifted me up in the air and screamed, "We are going to win, baby!" It was awesome and I will never forget it!
He should have been a Brave for way longer...every postseason he showed up clutch player...he gave the Braves an edge and called out he fans...thats what we needed but didnt have in the late 90's and early 2000's teams...he also was clutch for the Indians and Yankees in the postseason
That trade for Lofton was awful they not only lost him the following year to the same team they traded him from but they lost Grissom as well. Also the Jermain Dye trade was messed up imagine having Dye, Andruw and Justice in the OF.
@@joemixon834 they showed a stat in 2021 postseason that Grissom has the 1st and 2nd most hits in franchise history in a single postseason…Eddie Rosario tied for 2nd most this season…justice got ring with the Yankees and Dye got one with the White Sox
I met David Justice today at a Braves scouting camp in Socal. He gave us an amazing speech about following our dreams and not giving up just because of where we are from. Needle in the haystack baby
I just wish we could have repeated in 1996. This team had the potential to win three or four World Series but that's the year I just can't get over because we won the first two games up in New York and then lost four straight, including three at home, despite having a 6-0 lead in Game 4.
87Khein : I’ve always wondered, after the fold following the first two games, what might have happened if Justice hadn’t been forced to miss the entire ‘96 season with that shoulder surgery! A real “what might have been.”
Lots of folks just harp about the games they lost. Dave Justice was right about what he said about the fans. The Braves of the 90's was some awesome baseball period !!! This last world series and playoffs reminded me of the 90's Braves !!! They'll always be my favorite baseball team period !!!
Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot Pitchers miss their spot all the time. You don’t show him up like that. You do that when you know it’s over. Glavine went 8 and gave up one hit. They knew.
Man I still talk about that game today.... I was 26 when that happened, I'm 51 now, still one of the best memories..... And remember this, The Braves had been winning a few years before that, and kept winning years after....
- Prior to Game 6, Justice had critical words for the fans in Atlanta, questioning their support of the team, even while they were playing in the World Series; he actually got booed the 1st couple of times up at the plate, but this Series-clinching HR, any animosity by the fans towards Justice was put aside. :-)
@@oeao2841 Chipper Jones called fans out during the run in 2010 or 2012. And as one fan so elegantly put "everytime we show up you all choke." I'll never forget that.
The best Braves, and MLB, World Series was against the Twins. I remember it well. We lost but it was one helluva series for both teams. Kirby Puckett killed us!
I was deployed to Bosnia that year. I believe half of my unit were Braves fans to. I don't think I've ever screamed so loud in my life, after watching the final out from the MWR with my battles. Go Braves.
16 years ago...I witnessed my first BRAVES WORLS SERIES VICTORY....a lot has happened since, and now I can rejoice with my kids seeing their first BRAVES WORLD SERIES VICTORY. #CHOPON
Tony Pena knows #1 it’s long gone , & #2 it probably enough for GLAVINE the way he’s been pitching . Pride of Billerica TG47, When Tom Glavine pitched when I was a kid it was like church everybody in the house watched and nobody talks lol 😂
Always seemed like David Justice was too "Hollywood" for the Braves' liking - he was a guy not afraid to stir the pot and the Braves didn't go for that stuff in those days. They liked the quiet types who just went about their business without a lot of noise which is why they got rid of guys like him and Deion. But you wonder if that was a smart move considering their teams from 1997-2005 often seemed like emotionless zombies in the postseason compared to other teams.
Justice went on to win one more World Series title with the 2000 Yankees. He was a solid contributor too, hitting three homers and driving in 12 runs during that season's playoffs. He was also the MVP of the ALCS. I'd say he got the better end of the deal in a way.
The Braves had five outfielders heading into '97 so something had to give. They had Grissom, Justice, Andruw, Dye, and Klesko. Justice and Grissom were the most expensive. That's probably why they were traded. If you want to blame someone for Justice leaving, blame McGriff. The Braves made a courtesy offer to him. They wanted to move Klesko to first base, but McGriff surprised them when he signed the four year deal.
My fav player. Reason I became a Braves fan. And then Larry "Chipper" Jones just took it to that next GOAT Level. Damnnn it's good to be a Braves fan. More Chips to come
Joe Morgan was full of it, this time. They didn't try and bust him inside. The pitcher crossed up the catcher. Alomar was set up outside, and Poole threw inside. That is why Alomar reacted the way he did.
I was lucky enough to be there. $225 right field foul pole one row from the top I had to stand up to see the ball go over the fence and still didn't really see it. Best money I ever spent.
Saul Goodman dang same story. I was against the first wall leaned down spitting Copenhagen and everyone stood up around me, I jump up in time to see the ball go behind the fence twenty feet in front of me
Pena wanted it on the outside corner at the knees, and Poole put it belt high on the inside corner. You cannot miss much worse than that.... And this footage proves that Cleveland can't win a World Series as long as Bill Murray is in attendance.
And what did the Braves do? They traded Justice away to the very team they just beat and got Kenny Lofton, who all Braves fans had just learned to despise. wtf And people wonder why the Braves havent won a WS since. Moneyball doesn't take into account chemistry.
0:38 Look where the catcher was setup compared to where the pitch was thrown. I'd say the pitcher missed his spot and you can tell by the catcher's reaction he wasn't very happy about it, lol. Go Braves!
That’s back when the tomahawk chop really meant something!! How about this recent World Series!! 2021 Atlanta braves champions!! But no Atlanta braves team will ever be better than the 1995 team!! Ever!! Let’s go braves!!! Let’s go Brandon!!! Tomahawk chop for life!!!
If you think about it that's the biggest hit in Atlanta history they won the game 1-0 I would not have wanted to have to face them in a game 7 never know what the out come would have been not for that blast
Man I was in middle school about to go to high school man we are getting old but I went to 5 or 6 games that your it was epic the stadium was so loud I did love Fulton county stadium

Man do i miss the good ol days here! 1988-2008 now it SUCKS! WAY to much traffic, people and greed. End of story
Been a Brave fan since 90, once got cable. But do not remember this game, funny things u don't remember.

I am one of the biggest brave fans and I will never regret it or forget no matter what

He should have been a Brave for way longer...every postseason he showed up clutch player...he gave the Braves an edge and called out he fans...thats what we needed but didnt have in the late 90's and early 2000's teams...he also was clutch for the Indians and Yankees in the postseason
Schurholtz knew how to build but tear down including the two stars of this game; Glavine going to the Mets and Justice..to Cleveland
as they was saying in the vid, bad postseason, barely any extra base hits. 1 hr in 20 games. Not good
That trade for Lofton was awful they not only lost him the following year to the same team they traded him from but they lost Grissom as well. Also the Jermain Dye trade was messed up imagine having Dye, Andruw and Justice in the OF.

@Dave's guitar pick yes, indeed he did. Murphy is one of the best alltime Brave but gets lost in the mix because he played on terrible teams.

It's ok to talk the talk if you can walk the walk. Dave Justice walked the walk that night. Unforgettable.
He came up big for them
Justice is the man. David clutch what memories. 90s braves were awesome.
David Justice had such a beautiful swing
I think my favorite part is Tony Pena's reaction. He know that this one run was going to be enough for Glavine.
I think it was more that Poole missed his location BADLY.
I agree
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 yes, he missed.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 Yeah, he's set up on the outside corner and knew off the bat that it was out. Not happy with his pitcher.

@@MeargleSchmeargle I was home with my wife watching
Fulton county stadium was bland, but man do I have some memories of that place. And when the crowds in that place popped, that place could get loud!
That stadium was way better than turner field and the one they have today.
What I would give for Bob Costas to have called these world series games since they went to Fox.
Bob Costas sucks.
Bob Costas was the man to do baseball games. He was so cool to listen to.
"THE SHOT HEAR AROUND 285"

In some ways, that homer killed Atlanta as well. The animosity remained.

@@PhonyPhoniPhone Justice didn’t leave til after the 1996 season.

I’ve watched ever WS since 1982, and the ‘91 was the most exciting ! 2001 was awesome, too.
I hated Kirby Puckett with a passion growing up in metro Atlanta
Bobby Cox killed us leaving Charlie Leibrandt in the game to face Puckett.
That's pretty rad that Bill Murray was there too. 1:09

Thank you Dave Justice for giveing atlanta it's only championship in any sport
Well it's first because now it's 2 !!!!
I was there!!! He had complained about Atlanta fans earlier in the day, and he was booed a little, but all was forgiven.
Miss this guy, might be the last time Atlanta wins anything for a while.

One of the best memories of my life
What a great moment, I love it
Loved David Justice when he was with the Braves still remember him telling Bream to slide in game 7 of the NLCS in 92
Braves had awesome memories in that stadium before they moved to turner field.
I have this game recorded on VHS.

I think when they built Suntrust park, they should have built it like Atlanta Fulton County Stadium, bigger with a retractable roof!
Seeing him swing brought me back. He was a hell of a hitter
A great clutch hitter in baseball
lol Cleveland's catcher is pissed that the pitcher badly missed the target
It might of not been a homerun if the pitcher threw it in the target of the catchers glove.
My love for baseball started with Dave Justice ❤️
And what did the Braves do? They traded Justice away to the very team they just beat and got Kenny Lofton, who all Braves fans had just learned to despise. wtf

The best part of that homerun was the catcher. He was pissed cause location was missed.
Blame it on the pitcher.

Can't believe what the catcher did there. Pitcher must have been pissed when he saw it.

Typically Atlanta. Trade our clutch leader after he wins the World Series and we haven’t won since.
That stacked Braves team should’ve won more championships than they did (only 1?)
Braves vs Indians, and no one was offended in 1995.
