NOW: Relish in the 1995 World Series clincher

May 31st, 2020

ATLANTA -- While you’ve seen countless images of ’s gem and David Justice’s homer, you might have forgotten the thrill you felt when raced into left field to make that key catch in the ninth.

There’s also a chance you don’t remember Indians reliever Jim Poole batting in the sixth or celebrating what didn’t end up being a homer in the eighth.

But you have a chance to relive all of this excitement and drama from Game 6 of the 1995 World Series right now on the MLB Vault YouTube channel and the league's Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Many of the members of the 1995 Braves recently enjoyed a Zoom party during which they watched a replay of their celebratory 1-0 win over the Indians in Game 6.

With Glavine allowing one hit over eight scoreless innings and Justice hitting a sixth-inning solo homer off Poole, the Braves gained the victory that secured what remains the only World Series title in Atlanta’s history.

Watching Glavine go through the Indians' star-studded lineup with ease, Justice said, “Hey Glav, you should have put [home-plate umpire] Joe Brinkman in your Hall of Fame speech. I’d have thrown a one-hitter against the Indians with this strike zone.”

Glavine cemented his place in Atlanta lore that night. Some have questioned whether he should have been given a chance to go the distance. But during that Zoom party, he said he was knew he was done after getting away with a couple mistakes in the eighth.

“I felt it that night,” Glavine said. “I knew I was on my game.”
