It's crazy how the dynamics of the rematch in 1999 evolved. In this 1996 World Series, the Braves were heavily favored being the more experienced team with lots of talent and coming off a championship. They took a 2-0 series lead and everyone thought that was it for the Yankees. Fast forward 3 years and the Yankees were the favorites over the Braves, having won 2 in the last 3 years. Only difference is the Yankees finished the job in 4 games unlike the Braves in 1996. Being a Yankees fan I thought the Braves would put up a tougher battle in 1999, but not to be.

They were calling themselves the team of the decade before they were beaten twice by the team of the century.

That '99 NLCS really tired them out. The Mets gave them a run for their money and tired the hell out of their bullpen after being down 3 games to 0 and then forcing a Game 6.

I remember being 10 years old watching this with my Pop Pop and crying because I was so happy they won the World Series. It changed the whole trajectory of my life.

This series made me a Yankees fan. They looked so outmatched in Games 1 and 2. Was unreal how they came back in Game Three after being so close to an 0-3 hole. Then they ran the table.

I remember bumping into a Braves fan( I assume he was )& he pretty much said the Braves were going to win the Series easily after they won the 1st two & I jokingly kinda said that the Yankees could still come back although I sorta did feel at that moment that the Yankees somehow still had a chance. Welp.....we know how it turned out. 🙂

The Braves have had a lot of postseason disappointments over the years but nothing is worse than this World Series. Atlanta literally just won a World Series six months ago and this choke job still bothers me.

I agree, especially winning the first 2 in New York, the Jim Leyritz bomb changed the whole series

It was absolutely shocking to see them utterly and suddenly collapse. They were THE team to beat, they began to prove it, winning first 2 in NY, and ready to go up 3-1 in the Series, and then...complete and utterly failure. I'm still confused! How could this happen? The sports world accepted this sudden turn of events WAY too easily! I am an Indians fan-- I also loves the Braves A LOT because of TBS, but I'm a Clevelander so the Tribe was always my #1-- and so when the Braves took down our MIGHTY Indians in 95 for their first title, I thought for sure they would cruise and give the Yankees a sound whooping, and was looking forward to seeing it. Very disappointed to see this happen, both because I still liked the Braves (despite 95) and I hated the Yanks (wanted the Yanks to get that same taste of WS defeat that the Indians got from the Braves in 95). Who woulda thunk that 95 would be the ONLY title for the 90s Braves, and it was against EASILY their stiffest competition (and the only year I wanted the Braves to lose while I rooted for them every other year!) Baseball World Series: VERY unpredictable!

After the Braves won the first two games I went online to an Atlanta newspaper. The reporter said that the Yankees didn't belong on the same field as the Braves. Then he wrote that maybe the 1927 and 1961 Yankees didn't either. After each of the next four games his tune changed a whole lot.

Jim Leyritz's 3 run home run in the 8th to tie it is one of the most important home runs in Yankees history. So underrated too. If he doesn't hit that home run or the Yankees don't score those 3 runs, they likely would have gone down 3-1 in the series.

Back when starting pitching was epic. Also the 90s were the last great decade when fans would pay attention to the game without smartphones and social media.

I think about Strawberry and Gooden who were on this team and also on the 86 Mets. Down the first two games of the WS and then come back to win. 10 years apart, both for NY teams. But then Wade Boggs being on the losing end ten years earlier.

@beatzbyjay24 They're both very good. Buck has a much better announcer's voice and style, but Costas is much more knowledgeable of baseball and baseball history (thus, I personally give a slight edge to Costas, but both are excellent).

The Yankees of old had just a different temperament about them a different character about them then most teams they went through a lot of stuff back then but they always persevered through everything they were a resilient team I can’t say that about today’s Yankees with all due respect to them because they’re pretty good team but they don’t have the character of those great Yankees teams and that’s why they don’t win as often that’s my point of view as a Yankee fan

@Surfer041 2 жыл бұрын

They had toughness, and a team mentality. Unlike the bums of the last decade who can't even win a division.

@iamhungey12345 Жыл бұрын

Also helped that they had a manager who wasn't actively mismanaging games and thinks having the players watch the footage of the 2004 choke job is a good way to motivate them... It'll take more than a title for Boone to make up for these.

@@DMallthewayAND up 6-0 LATE in Game 4! AND being defending champs, the better and more experienced team. Makes little sense how they blew this after beating a MUCH better team in the Indians in 1995 to finally get the monkey off their back. One Would have thought they would CRUISE to a title this year and perhaps some other years, too. Baseball playoffs-- SO unpredictable and can change so very easily.
