My parents made me go to bed and read. I turned on skip and pete on 104.7 out of Crestview, FL. When Gant hit that dong I went nuts yelling down the stairs. I told my dad what happened so excited and he smiled. I'll never forget that moment.
I’ve lived in Massachusetts my whole life but as a kid loved the Atlanta Braves. I became so obsessed with them I would watch every game on TBS. I remember staying up late to watch this very game, which wasn’t on TBS but on ESPN Sunday Night baseball. I was 11 at the time. I was the only one in the house up, both of my parents upstairs in their bedroom asleep. I was downstairs directly below them in the living room. When Ron Gant hit that homer over the left field wall I was so excited I began jumping up and down!! I made so much noise I woke my mother up who came running down the stairs!! When she saw the huge grin on my face she knew what had happened. That the Braves had come from behind and won!! What a great summer and pennant race!! I still remember that summer like it was yesterday.
Bro, Louisiana here and I was 7. The Atlanta Braves brought our household together. And Chris Berman didn’t call the Braves game like the sportscasters on TBS.. gotta here Chip Carey with that iconic “There’s a drive!”
This made me cry because i got sent to my room on this night i was 15 and my mom and dad were watching the game in rhe living room i was out side the door with my ear to the door listening to the game all night long and risked getting my ass wooped but bro i grew in savannah as a kid at my grannys house watching the braves 82-92 before moving to montana but i busted the door open and my mom knew nothing could keep my excitment down and she acually ungrounded me lol what a great memory and wonderful summer my first playing babe ruth baseball for the Cascade montana Badghers lol thank you for the wonderful memorys with your comment
@@shannonwomack5660 those Braves in the 90’s had such great teams. Dave Justice was my favorite player. Had a poster of him in my bedroom. I’m still a Braves fan and I was so happy to see them win the series last year.
I was at this game. I sat in the right field stands just above the Braves dugout. Klesko's homer was one of the most impressive I've ever seen in person - it seemed like it was still rising as it reached the right field bleachers. One of the most impressive homers I've ever witnessed. Gant's game winning homer seemed inevitable in that electric atmosphere. Those of us in the crowd almost expected it to happen! Thanks for bringing back such a wonderful memory!
You can tell this vid is from Chippers rookie year because look at his jersey number! Number 16 WTF?? He didn't get that iconic #1O until tha next year and I bet this #16 is a collector's item somewhere in somebody's vast collection of memorabilia! Awesome
I am a Reds fan residing in Atlanta, and I attended this game with a female friend who is/was a Braves fan. We sat in the upper deck seats behind, slightly right of the Braves' dugout, so I got a good gander of Ryan Klesko's HR, it was a blast to say the least. From where we were sitting, it gave us a/the perfect view of Ron Gant's HR just barely making it over the leftfield wall. An unbelievable comeback for the Braves, and it's safe to say that my friend made the trip home even longer, with her onslaught of razzing me, 😄...
I was at this game, sat in the left field stands in the 9th with my family. I was at the 2015 world series when Gordon hit his game 1 tying homer. Both ballparks were incredibly loud!!! I LOVE BASEBALL!!!!
The Braves needed that win! They ended the year with 104 wins..while The Giants ended with 103 wins! Great comeback! It was an ESPN Sunday Night game, I remember watching it back then.
Ron Gant was my favorite player behind Nolan Ryan as a kid in the 90's. People always talked about Griffey's sweet swing, Gant had the righty's sweet swing.
Wow, that was quite a bat flip by Klesko there. Right in the catcher's face. Good thing it was the 9th inning or he would've probably gotten beaned in his next at bat. Klesko was always one of my favorite Braves.
Goes back to when the Braves were in Milwaukee. When they were there, the only teams further west than they were was San Fran and LA. When they moved to Atlanta, they were kept in the same division until '94.
Braves wound up beating the Giants by one game for the division title. As a Giants fan I still can't get this game out of my mind, even after all the WS titles they've had recently.
i remember this game, i was 10 years old going nuts in my grandmothers living room......im 30 now and my kids 9 & 6 go nuts every time one of the uptons blast one out.......gotta love the braves!
This was a great game because the Braves needed every win they could get that season. The Giants won 103 games while the Braves won 104 Games. The 1993 Giants are probably the best team ever to not make the playoffs..
I listened to this finish in my folks 1985 Cadillac because my cable company didn't have Sportsouth and ESPN blacked this out in my part of Alabama! Honked the horn loudly, that night! 750 AM from Atlanta!
Atlanta had there best team ever in 1993 imo. To lose to Philly in the NLCS just shows the best team doesn't always win. All you have to do is make the playoffs. Atl and SF were the two best teams in baseball that year and neither made it to the Series. lol
They should show this on Good Day Atlanta every once in a while. Gant always seems to downplay his very underappreciated MLB career. He was the man though, batting 3rd for some very good Atlanta teams.
I remember this season... Every game was important just like 1991... We beat the Giants by a half a game that season just like we beat the Dodgers by half a game in 1991 to go to the playoffs...
I don't disagree with you at all. I was enraged by the fact that they would suspend the season over what seemed to be a petty argument over their already ridiculous salaries; that said, I feel it was more the fans that suffered. That year aside, still a great decade, with alot of incredible players, throughout the league, and I feel priviledged to have been able to witness that.
I disagree, it was a great decade for the Braves, but not for baseball because of the 94 strike. Alot of fans gave up baseball after 94, and some teams suffered alot because of it (like the old Braves' rivals, the Expos)
why do people seem to think it's only the players with big power numbers that were doing steroids? how about other players? pitchers? players who used it and failed? how about the pitcher-batter battle with both of them using them. who cares? the entire sport was doing it at this time, just the way it is...
Who are all the announcers for this game? I hear Chris Berman and what sounds like Red Sox announcer Joe Castiglione (but I don't think that's Joe, though).
Look at this the other way...if they didn't come back in this game, they TIE the giants and have to play in a playoff game. Who knows what happens then...
Dykstra and Daulton were not Juiced out of their minds. Atlanta had chances to win that series. But squandered of alot of opportunities to win that series. Lost too many one run games. No, the postseason is good where it is. Best of 7. Best of 15 is too much baseball.
My parents made me go to bed and read. I turned on skip and pete on 104.7 out of Crestview, FL. When Gant hit that dong I went nuts yelling down the stairs. I told my dad what happened so excited and he smiled. I'll never forget that moment.

It's weird hearing Chris Berman calling a Braves game...I miss Pete van Wieren and Don Sutton and Chip Carey.
I was 10 year old Braves fan in Georgia...one of their best seasons ever just got beat by Phillies in NLCS
Bro, Louisiana here and I was 7. The Atlanta Braves brought our household together. And Chris Berman didn’t call the Braves game like the sportscasters on TBS.. gotta here Chip Carey with that iconic “There’s a drive!”

That '93 pennant race against the Giants was probably my favorite Braves season ever. Unforgettably fun!
That was a great season!
1993 was one of the best seasons because they acquired Maddux and McGriff plus they still had Gant, Nixon and Deion Sanders
Don’t forget Justice!
i didn't mention Justice because he was with the them before 1993 AND he was with them 1994, 1995, 1996

This is when Klesko became my favorite player. He freaking abused that pitch! Thanks for posting! The good old days!
That swing tho...lol
Classic. The whole comeback was epic but Klesko going Captain Caveman on that ball is something I will never forget. Thank you for posting, kind sir.
It's 2023, and I still love Ron Gant!! Thanks for my Ron Gant fix! GO BRAVES!!
the braves in the 90s were a great team, but the 91, 92 and 93 teams were so special. great memories, thanks so much for this!
we had all that excitement those teams gave us the rest of the decade love it
You can tell this vid is from Chippers rookie year because look at his jersey number!
Number 16 WTF?? He didn't get that iconic #1O until tha next year and I bet this #16 is a collector's item somewhere in somebody's vast collection of memorabilia! Awesome
God, Klesko's swing was hilarious.

The fact that Gant wasn't there in 95 to get a World Series ring is so sad.
One of my favorite childhood memories, thanks for posting.
Ron Gant was my favorite player behind Nolan Ryan as a kid in the 90's. People always talked about Griffey's sweet swing, Gant had the righty's sweet swing.
Wow, that was quite a bat flip by Klesko there. Right in the catcher's face. Good thing it was the 9th inning or he would've probably gotten beaned in his next at bat. Klesko was always one of my favorite Braves.

Possibly the greatest team in terms of talent ever assembled. The 93 and 94 Braves
Thanks for posting. These come from behind wins were what the Braves were all about in the 90s.
Braves wound up beating the Giants by one game for the division title. As a Giants fan I still can't get this game out of my mind, even after all the WS titles they've had recently.
I remember going crazy in my living room that night. Great call by Boomer too. Love the excitement
What ever you do..NEVER remove this video! ^_^
i remember this game, i was 10 years old going nuts in my grandmothers living room......im 30 now and my kids 9 & 6 go nuts every time one of the uptons blast one out.......gotta love the braves!
Makes me really miss my child hold watching this game
read all my comments i cant help but read everyones also i belive we all cryed watching and reading as braves fans its happy but a happy sad lol
This was a great game because the Braves needed every win they could get that season. The Giants won 103 games while the Braves won 104 Games. The 1993 Giants are probably the best team ever to not make the playoffs..
How funny love seeing this Chipper looks so young lol Miss Chipper i was 14 when this took place Chipper was my favorite always!!
I was 14 also and still love chipper. Karen your very beautiful 😄
Great decade for baseball; especially Atlanta. Hard to believe this was 20 yrs ago. I miss this team. Alot of great games. Alot of great memories.
I missed those Braves. I really do...
Majestic Klesko bat flip.
I listened to this finish in my folks 1985 Cadillac because my cable company didn't have Sportsouth and ESPN blacked this out in my part of Alabama! Honked the horn loudly, that night! 750 AM from Atlanta!

Remember this like it was yesterday. I was in college at the time and we went nuts. Thanks for posting!
The catchers reaction to Klesko’s bat flip
They should show this on Good Day Atlanta every once in a while. Gant always seems to downplay his very underappreciated MLB career. He was the man though, batting 3rd for some very good Atlanta teams.
He was good in St. Louis, too..him and Brian Jordan. Both are still seen regularly in ATL.
I barely remember this but it's coming back to me . . . thanks for posting
The glory days of the Braves
What a comeback. Looking back on it now, changed the 1993 season. Should have beaten Philadephia in the 1993 NLCS.
I remember this season... Every game was important just like 1991... We beat the Giants by a half a game that season just like we beat the Dodgers by half a game in 1991 to go to the playoffs...
This brings back so many memories!!!
Klesko trying to hit an elephant all the way to the moon with that swing
It was about a time when MLB only had four divisions. Before 1969, MLB only had two divisions (one in each league).
hard to see Chipper with a different number (16)
And to think if he never got hurt, he may have worn 16 his entire career.
Chipper was obviously distracted by the Hooters sign in right field. But seriously, I didn't realize he played on a team with Otis "The Flash" Nixon!
the home run robbery up the wall like spiderman chip said after calling the game lol
Gant guessed slider, got the slider, and was almost TOO ready for it!
Cool stuff, man. I love old baseball footage, thank you for sharing!:-)
GREAT GREAT GREAT Video! Thanks for posting...
I see a lot of this attitude in this year's Braves. Let's hope they're back for good.
were going back to back this year baby
Klesko had a bat flip before bat flips were a thing.
Very true...Atlanta had a very good team that year and definitely would have had revenge against the Blue Jays.
LOL. 12:37 Davey Johnson is pissed
That ball left the yard in a hurry.
It was 104 games we won. They won 103 games. Maddux pitched in games 2 and 6.
I'm sure Klesko got plunked for that show of shenanigans.
this was a time where we didn't have wusses,
I don't disagree with you at all.

Man...Nixon, Blauser, Gant...wow
Thank you for this.
t. drunk baseball fan
Someone need to call homicide because Klesko straight murdered that pitch!
A lot of people don’t remember Chipper wore 16
Gant was such a beast
Jeff Reardon, of course
Even though it was a toilet bowl, I miss Fulton County Stadium...
me to buddy and ted turner and chip carry
Yeah, he wore #16 in 1993 and switched to #10 when he came back in 1995.
I Was Just An Toddler When This Happened
I used to always think klesko was fulton from the mighty ducks 😎
I disagree, it was a great decade for the Braves, but not for baseball because of the 94 strike. Alot of fans gave up baseball after 94, and some teams suffered alot because of it (like the old Braves' rivals, the Expos)

Wow Davy Johnson looks young...lol
Should have seen him as manager of the 86 Mets with a mustache.
@6:30 Jeff Reardon looks odd without his trademark beard. Anyone remember Marge Schott Reds owner having a policy players couldn’t have facial hair?
That Cincy facial hair rule was long before Marge Schott. The Big Red Machine had it in the early 70s.
Pat OK Corrales lol.
He had a ton of great nicknames! One of my favorites was Chuck “New Kids on the” Knobloch.
Pete and Don!
Why the Hell were the Braves in the NL WEST back then!!?? what the heck is that all about lol
Who are all the announcers for this game? I hear Chris Berman and what sounds like Red Sox announcer Joe Castiglione (but I don't think that's Joe, though).
Dave (Soup) Campbell is the other
The 2019 braves do this once a week.
Look at this the other way...if they didn't come back in this game, they TIE the giants and have to play in a playoff game. Who knows what happens then...
Baby Larry! Lol
Dykstra and Daulton were not Juiced out of their minds. Atlanta had
chances to win that series. But squandered of alot of opportunities to
win that series. Lost too many one run games. No, the postseason
is good where it is. Best of 7. Best of 15 is too much baseball.
anybody got the ernie johnson call on this??? (sportssouth version)
A Long Time Ago, Relax Yourself By Guarding Anyway. Go to Chipper
Jones Fan.
Thank god they pulled Chris Berman from baseball announcing...he is so terrible.
This Chippper Jones character...nothing will come of him...naaaa!!
haha, Captain Caveman
i think the florida state seminoles stole the chop and music and chant from the braves
bill veal pecota
I want to be 200 like but u can tell they just video the tv
Ryan kleskos 💣. 😂
