I still say the 1991 WS is the best one ever... or at least in my lifetime.
5 One run games in a 7 game WS is crazy.
But yes also the journey of that season was incredible. I saved so many news papers from that season.
Though probably still my favorite single moment was the 1992 NLCS walkoff w/ the Sid Bream slide.
It pains me that baseball fans today don’t have any idea what pennant races were like. They really did miss out on something similar to the do or diamond mentality that you used to be inherent in college football.
From the blockbuster signing of four free agents through Tom Glavine having his breakthrough year and first Cy Young Award, the incredible comeback against Rob Dibble that pushed the Braves into the race and racing home every night to see the 10 PM news and find out if the Braves won or lost, heart, pounding, and full of anxiety, it was a once in a lifetime experience.
And I’ll be honest with you, I could have dealt with it if the Braves had won it all in 1991 and then regressed back to being the lovable losers for a while, rather than win all of those division titles and have almost nothing to show for it.
I thought the defeat against the Blue Jays in 1992 was far more soul crushing than what happened at the hands of the twins.
