I’ve lived in Ga since I was born in 1959. Grew up in middle Georgia as a farm boy. My dad was a huge Braves fan. We had no cable in the country. My dad spent fortunes on TV antennas trying to get Superstation 17 (TBS) so he could watch the Braves. We got the games but always a snowy picture. Still watched it. I’m talking through the rough years too. Occasionally would drive two hours and watch them live. Empty seats everywhere. But we loved our Braves then and still do. Unfortunately, my dad passed away in June 1991. Just when the Braves took off on their run. I remember describing how they were playing while he was laying in the hospital bed. I’m grateful for the memories that my dad created with the Braves. I will always remember those days. Braves fan for life here as they hold a special place in my soul.

1991 - They played in the greatest WS ever and were worthy opponents in a 1-0 10 inning Game 7 battle. 1992 - They went 6 deep with an ultra talented Jays team after making an incredible comeback to beat the Pirates. 1993 - In one of the greatest division races ever, somehow they prevailed over SF. They ran into a red hot, highly motivated Phils team. 1994 - Who knows what might have happened. 1995 - They got it done. 1996 - They ran all the way to the WS and took a 2-0 lead and nearly went up 3-1 before Leyritz marched the Yankees back and into the foundation of a dynasty. 1997 - Winning 103, they had no trouble until they met the $$ rich Marlins. 1998 - This time they won 106 but fell to a team that was similar to the 1993 Phillies, the 1998 Padres 1999 - They dominated the NL in the regular season and playoffs. The 1999 Yanks were almost as good as the 1998 Yanks. While winning more championships might have been nice, the journey each year was a lot of fun to witness because they dominated for long stretches of time!

The Atlanta Braves won over 100 games that season, Denny Neagle won 20 games as a starting pitcher, Chipper Jones hit over 100 RBIs, etc. The team was stacked and really fun to watch. Unfortunately, they just could not unlock that Marlins team. I kept hoping that the wild card Marlins would lose in the first round, no dice. It was a collision course, and the Marlins beat the Braves in 6 games. What a nightmare.

I think the reason many along the Gulf Coast, particularly the central Gulf South, only saw two MLB teams regularly back then was because of the two superstations: WTBS and later on TNT, in Atlanta who showed Braves home and away games and WGN, who showed most Cubs home and away games. In an era before ESPN, or satellite TV choices or premium streaming channels or the Internet, those two super stations made generations of fans of both squads before, during, and even after their runs. Especially when it applies to 90's-2005 Braves dynasty. Several Braves fans back in 2016 told me when they found out I was a bit of a Cubs fan that the level of emotion, intensity and excitement when the Cubs won the WS and have continued to be a playoff contender, he said Cubs fans in Chicago, Midwest or nationwide seemed to revel and enjoy this historical moment far more then what Atlanta did back in 1995 with the Braves. Most of them in their own ways sort of insuated they really envied the almost riot-like level of excitement Cubs fans seemed to display when their team finally won it all and wished other Atlanta sports fans in general, not just Braves fans, were capable of showing such diehard, fanatical levels of devotion. The Falcons over the past decade have been one of the best teams in the NFL and have had their best, most consistent run of success from 2008-2017, culminating in the Falcons making the franchise's second SB appearance in team history, and the first in nearly 20 years.

This brings back pleasant memories of TBS coming into our home in the SF Bay Area starting in the late 80's. Back then it was the only opportunity to get a ballgame on TV starting at 4:30 PM. It was quite a novelty back then. As a baseball junkie .....it was very cool to be able to catch an east coast team on a regular basis. Once they became a real powerhouse they stopped being a novelty and became an event that you scheduled around to watch.

The documentary doesn't even touch on the 100-win powerhouses the 2002 and 2003 Braves were with Javier Lopez, Rafael Furcal and Gary Sheffield. Could not even get out of the first round.

The only World series you can probably say that the braves actually should have won was 1991 against the twins. Or maybe one of those other years that the braves didn't make it to the World series but choked in like the NLDS. The braves benefited from playing in a easy division Phillies were garbage except for 1993 when they were good the Mets were garbage and the Marlins outside of that 97 season didn't do anything. The braves wouldn't even have went to all those World series if they were in like the American league East with Baltimore who are good boston was good Toronto who was good the Yankees were good.

The Giants somehow won three in five years but didn't even reach the postseason in the in-between years and have become completely irrelevant now. No team in either league has repeated since the Yankees won three straight (1998-2000) and thanks to the 1996 collapse by the Braves, the Big Red Machine (1975-1976) is the last NL team to win back-to-back World Series.

The starting rotation to die for with Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz who also had 1st class help from Avery then Denny Neagle, then Kevin Millwood. It seems nowadays starting rotations of this standard are unlikely to be seen again. The trend towards every pitcher having one or two innings, essentially relief pitchers going every night has been shown to be as an effective strategy to avoid paying big money for pitching. Even if that never becomes the norm its unlikely any pitchers in the future will get an opportunity to win 300 games like the best of the 90s era pitchers achieved. Roll on tonight as its WS time again for Atlanta.

I grew up in the 70's in Florida and the only live MLB games in the state Floridians could attend were Spring training games. In March of 1975 my dad took me to a Braves vs. Yankees game. The Yankees side of the stadium was packed with Yankees fans and there was NO getting in close proximity to any of the Yankees players, but along the 3rd base/left field line there was plenty of standing room along a fence that was 4 feet high. The visitor's " bullpen " was in between the playing field and this fence. I vividly remember Max Leon warming up with Biff Pocoroba and I was mesmerized by the sound Max Leon's fastball. After finishing their bullpen session he and Biff Pocoroba came over to the fence to sign autographs and chat with the fans. I was 9 years old and both of them were 21 or 22 years old but they were taller than me and wearing real MLB uniforms so they were men to me. I was wearing my yellow little league baseball cap so imagine my surprise when I handed my program to Mr. Leon to sign and he said to me, " Chu play bazeboll ? " I replied, " Yes sir, I play baseball. " He continued talking to me, asking me what position I played. At that time I had played every position on the field except right field and that was my response, Biff Pocoroba then asked me what was my favorite position to play. " Pitcher and third base. " I replied. " Chu must hab a good arm keed. " said Mr. Leon. My dad interjected, " He does, he's got the strongest arm on his team. " It was after that, that I heard this piece of advice, " Dun teach him how to throw da curb ball, E's bad for da arm. " he said to my dad. I became an instant Braves fan and I stuck with them ever since. we finally got cable TV service in our area in 1981 then the strike wiped out 2/3 of the season but I remained a Braves fan even through their dismal 54-106 1988 season and beyond.

They did! Glad they did, not because of the Astros but simply because they were long overdue and I've been a fan since Braves baseball on TBS!!

F--k the Yankees. The Braves aren't a soft drink for you to feign allegiance, and feel refreshed,. F--k the Pew York Stankees. We'll never need your support.

@@captainkev10 That wasn't very nice.. The Yankees are a legendary team with 27 world titles. You don't speak for all of Braves Country.

Growing up listening to the Braves on the radio with my granddad cause he was blind in the 80s was awesome...it was nothing like hearing skip cary earnie Johnson call those games...he passed in 86 b4 the Braves got good in 91...even though i was 22 and could watch them on tv every night i still loved to listen on the radio...what a great time to be a Braves fan in the 90s...if it weren't for bad calls and steroids they would have won 3 out of 5 of those world series.

I remember the first 2 post season's for Glavine, he was often criticized for really no good reason. he was pitching good, The problem was that he wasn't getting much help from his offense. goes 0-2 in the 1991 NLCS despite an ERA of 3.21. (his offense only mustered 1 run through 2 games) goes 1-1 in the 1991 World Series with an ERA of 2.70. (both games were pitching duels between him and Kevin Tapani. well, game 5 started that way anyway haha) goes 0-2 in the 1992 NLCS. his ERA in the 1992 NLCS was bad yes, 12.27 but that mostly because of 1 inning, and from there, people were wondering "what's wrong with him?" "should this CY Young winner even be pitching in the world series?" but he had a stellar 1992 World series. an ERA of 1.59. However, he found himself in 2 pitching duels with Jack Morris and Jimmy Key. he beat Morris 3-1, but lost to Key 2-1. that's on the offense. not Glavine. Heck had the Braves won the 92 World Series, he would have been MVP. him or Deion Sanders. And yes, good pitching almost always seems to beat good hitting in the post season. For him to win the final 1995 World Series game 1-0 and to win MVP honors with an amazing 1.29 ERA was just pure sweetness!

In reality the Braves should have had three world titles in that run. 1991 and 1996 comes to mind. And they could have had more if it wasn't for bad pitching decisions that costed them. As much as I love Bobby Cox. His pitching decisions late in games was a constant problem. And it still continues to be our weakness today.

I agree as a ny fan who watched the series yous should have deff finished us off in Atlanta in 96 not in game 3 cause i felt cone really did pitch good and he was just big game in October but obv dont gotta get deep with game 4 and yeah smolts only gives up one run in game 5 it was really in they're hands cant say im mad at the outcome but it always has amazed me. And your right about his pitching mistakes bobby as great as he was never did it by formula did it bt feeling didnt take the extra steps to win postseason games 99 comes to mind game 3 they had us 5 to 2 late innings he left tommy into long they could have won game 3 2 to 1 changes any series hate to say it cause i love bobby but alot of his decisions costed him alot more than hes got.

The 93 Braves should have won or at least gotten a rematch with Toronto. They had runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs in the 9th inning of game 4 and didn’t score when they were down 2-1. In game 5 it was tied 3-3 in the 9th with one out and runners on 1st and 3rd and they didn’t score. Both were home games. The Braves were up 2 games to 1 after game 3 so a win in game 4 or 5 changes the series. They also had a runner on 2nd with 2 outs in the 9th in game 1 when it was tied and didn’t take the lead. The Braves tied it a couple of times against Mitch Williams, but didn’t finish the job when they had that chance and lost those games. The Blue Jays beat him in a couple of games and that was the difference in that series.

The Braves did have one big advantage in 95 that the other Braves teams didn’t have. Maddux was at his best in 95 and was almost unbeatable that year. In years like 93 and 96-98 he was still amazing but not at the level he was in 95. Unfortunately, he was just as unhittable in 94 but there were no playoffs that year. His era was 1.56 in 1994 and 1.63 in 1995. In 1996 it went up to 2.72.

They should have also have won in 92. their starting Pitchers were better than that of the Blue Jays. Morris and Cone clearly struggled in that series. The Braves just didn't have as strong of a bullpen. They should have won game 2. they let that one slip away. had they have won game 6 and sent it to game 7, we would have had a pitching duel of Tom Glavine and Juan Guzman. But anyway, you gotta admit, they lost all of their games by a single run and each of them could have easily gone the other way.

And now the Braves have won their 2ND World Series championship in Atlanta. :-) The 2021 Braves weren't expected at the beginning of the year to go all the way yet that's exactly where they went. The Braves teams of the '90s were among the favorites every year. I'm a Blue Jays fan so I know full well what was happening in Atlanta. The Jays won their 1st championship against that mighty Braves team in '92. And although I was cheering for the Cleveland Indians to win it in '95, looking back on it, it was good for the Braves to finally nail down that elusive championship and vindicate their success during that period. :-)
