Enjoy. Yes, it's the entire game, and the proudest moment in team history to date.

Glavine threw a masterpiece that night. Lived on the outside black w/ that circle change moving away from righties.

Justice hit a bomb.

That was it.

I remember when they won it but I didn't see it. That was awesome. Though I was growing up in Virginia, just about every 3rd person everywhere I went at the time had on those "A" caps and the Braves shirts, jackets, and hoodies.

Still sad only one World Series with that caliber of pitching all those years in the playoffs.

One of the great moments in Atlanta sports history...I was at a party where they started passing champagne and someone elbowed the bottle while I was drinking and it chipped my front tooth. Had to get some dental work but winning the World Series was worth it.

That just shows how many things have to fall into place to win a professional sports championship - including a certain amount of luck. It's a HUGE accomplishment to win when you start out with 30 MLB teams that are all just about as good as the next.

I can't wait to see what the Braves put out next season. I think they are going to field a really great, competitive team to christen their new stadium, and they already have a good nucleus - just in dire need of pitching!

You can't be serious.

Back then the umps typically called any pitch that was within 3-4 inches of the plate a strike. Indeed, Glavine pretty much built his pitching career there. And a damn fine one it was.

Something that will never happen again. That was a good team though.
