1992 World Series Game 6 Highlights (Atlanta Braves vs Toronto Blue Jays)

[@bshoulder]

This is one of my favourite games... It was such a chess match between two great teams. The Jays used all of its available pitchers: David Cone, Todd Stottlemyre, David Wells, Duane Ward, Tom Henke, Jimmy Key and Mike Timlin. Stottlemyre, Wells, Key were all starters but came in and did their job in relief, especially Jimmy Key after Henke uncharacteristically blew the save in the 9th. And Mike Timlin facing Otis Nixon, a prolific runner who laid down a good bunt to try to bunt to first, just calmly threw him down... What a game and what a win!

1992 i saw my first baseball games at Tv in Germany (age 22). I choose the Atlanta Braves as my favorite Team,and it is still today. Baseball isnt in the program anymore since then. But i still love the game and my Team :The Atlanta Braves (World Series Winner 2021 :) But still havent the chance to see a Game in Real...(age 51 now :)

Nice to hear from a European that enjoys the game

[@georgebenevides]

32 years years later and I am still watching Blue Jay history. 92, 93 was a huge memory. Paul molitor was MVP.

[@kenwell3498]

my happiest sports moment. they were good for a long time before finally breaking through. Carter ends both World Series. that's pretty good.

[@R58-n8n]

Can’t believe it’s been 32 years ago.

[@bhenderson2725]

i remember this game like last year.

[@goodbadbill]

Getting Otis Nixon out on a steal is an achievement on its own, let alone during a World Series game. Good on the Jays!

[@AJKPenguin]

Was that credential for Borders WS MVP?

[@walterlv01]

Might have been the best 6-game World Series I've ever seen. Had this gone the full 7 it would have been up there with the previous year's classic. They were the best 2 teams all season - even at the All-Star break most people thought this would be the Final and they turned out to be so evenly matched.

[@giuseppenero110]

Perhaps you haven't yet watched game 6 in 2011 between St Louis and Texas?

[@calebos268]

@@giuseppenero110 He means 6-game series, 2011 went 7 games

[@lelio422]

Otis was one of the fastest in the game then. I dont agree with bunting on 2 outs, but its not a bad idea given his execution and the pressure it puts on any pitcher in that scenario. Timlin stayed cool

[@thomasmckenzie4584]

It was a horrendous bunt and he still was only out by half a step. Dude was sooo fast.

[@m-chopbeats7526]

Would have been best to bunt down the third base line instead of towards first.

[@doublestrokeroll]

Apparently Nixon knew he couldn't handle Timlin's fastball so he opted to try the bunt. Kind of makes sense.

[@lelio422]

@@doublestrokeroll perhaps. Lol they showed game 6 on sportsnet yesterday. What a great game

[@doublestrokeroll]

@@lelio422 Yeah I could barely watch it at the time. So nerve racking. I actually forgot how sloppy the Jays played that final game...lol. A credit to the sheer talent they had to get it done in spite of having the jitters. Cone was such a good get at the time. Just a brilliant trade.

[@pabldi1927]

10:01, if this catch is not made, there would have been a Game 7.

[@stevencooke6451]

Maldonado had an eventful game for sure.

[@drewdrewski4188]

Hard to understand why the last batter for Atlanta went for the bunt up the first base line against a right handed pitcher. Great game tho, Braves were a hit away from this being the 90s version of the Freese game in 2011.

[@thomasmckenzie4584]

Not a bad point. If he pushes that down the 3rd base line, he's safe by a mile.

[@walterlv01]

Nixon said afterward that it WAS supposed to have been down the 3rd base line - he based it on the first pitch from Timlin which was a hard fastball and figured that he could bunt that pitch the opposite way. But Timlin took something off the next pitch and Nixon was a fraction too early with the square.

[@doublestrokeroll]

Apparently Nixon couldn't keep up with his fastball so he took a chance on surprising them with a bunt rather than risking a strikeout. Actually makes a lot of sense.

[@leviiniguez8767]

Was Deion injured?? It looked like he had a limp

[@doublestrokeroll]

Yep. I don't remember the situation but he was.

[@applejack160]

A dark day in my life

[@kenbisson5455]

Understood. Red Sox fan of 57 years. And, I remember all the HARD years. I was favoring the Braves all along, given their Boston roots.

[@doublestrokeroll]

Yeah, you guys and your racist tomahawk chop...sorry...no sympathy. That Atlanta team was a great one, but you fans...

[@doublestrokeroll]

I have a lot of respect for that Braves team, but not for those fans and their stupid racist tomahawk chop. Glad the Jays shut them up. The silence after Winfield's hit and after that final out was absolutely beautiful.

[@highmeadows2030]

Hey can you do the 2017 ALCS game 2 Yankees vs Astros

[@jc2333]

Why’re you bunting with 2 outs Nixon ?

[@dominickclaflin5295]

Exactly. But he might’ve thought he would beat it

[@walterlv01]

He made them make a tough defensive play. Even as perfectly as Timlin played it he only got him by a step. I don't disagree with the strategy. Nixon could beat out bunts better than anyone in MLB in those days. It didn't work out but it was still a ballsy play.

[@doublestrokeroll]

Apparently Joe Carter knew Nixon and knew he couldn't hit Timlin's fastball, and basically told the whole infield and Timlin that he was going to try a bunt.

[@bshoulder]

Otis Nixon had amazing speed but was not a great fastball hitter and he probably didn't know Timlin well, so laying down a bunt actually was strategically smart. Timlin had ice water running through his veins though and just calmly threw him out to give the Jays their first every World Series win... What a game!

[@cazz8017]

never again
