TODAY IN HISTORY: Atlanta Braves capture 1995 World Series

What were you doing on Oct. 28, 1995? That date is hard to forget if you are an Atlanta Braves fan.

On this day more than two decades ago, the Braves defeated the Cleveland Indians in Game 6 to win the World Series.

The 1995 World Series ended up being the team’s only title from the spectacular run of the 90s and during its time in Atlanta so far, which the 2021 Braves hope to change.

Atlanta held onto a 1-0 nail biter at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium in Game 6 that night to seal the series.

Right fielder David Justice scored the game’s only run with a solo home run. Tom Glavine pitched eight complete innings to pick up the win.

Mark Wohlers came in to close it out for the save. South Fulton’s Marquis Grissom caught the final out.

Feeling nostalgic? Listen to former Braves announcer Skip Caray call the final out:
