What year were the Braves' at their best?
1995
1996 or 1998. Out of all those Atlanta Braves teams - 1995 was one of the weakest.
1998. Didn't even make it to the world series but lead all of baseball in wins and made it to the NLCS with 2 aces (Denny Neagle and Kevin Millwood) who were the #4 & 5 starters because they had 3 hall of fame starters pitching in front of them. For the record... Did Keyshawn actually think David Justice lost a World Series with the Braves to Randy Johnson? That was so much later. It was almost a decade after that when Randy Johnson joined the Yankees.
@@nostalgiaman6816 I agree. So was 2021. Shows that you have a chance to win it all as long as you make the playoffs. Look at Arizona last year. They didn't win it but they made it to the World Series despite finishing 4 games behind the Seattle Mariners who weren't even invited to the playoffs at all.
1995 and 1996. The strangest things happened in that '96 WS..the Braves win the first two games at Yankee Stadium and go back to Atlanta for three games - and we lost all three in the weirdest ways...the Yanks closed it out in game six. Man, it still hurts.
Dave Justice was an absolute Unit of a ball player.
Never forget DJ getting the fans off their butts to make some noise after that dinger. His timing was perfect.
As a Braves fan, I’m forever grateful for DJ!
I am a lifetime Braves fan since 1969, losing to Mets in playoffs, that 95 team was awesome. Never forget that team. 96 team broke my heart, till this day I don't like to talk about that.
I didn’t get over ‘96 until the final out of game 6 in 2021
Braves Nation still love Dave!! That Homer in game 6 was massive. AL had a advantage with the DH they was built for offense
The AL did not have an advantage with the DH. The NL benefitted more from the DH in the World Series.
@@swissbeats2k Wrong clown. The AL always had a better DH . NL teams carried extra pitchers. You clearly don’t know baseball
@@swissbeats2k Dumbest Comment ever
I don’t know. Few AL teams had a full time DH. AL teams had a hard time in NL parks with no DH. Plus pitchers who didn’t take a single AB all season or career.
@@eeixen Really did you watch the Yankees. Red Sox and Indians?
Yankees got out hit, out scored, out pitched and out homered and still won in '96. He's 100% right, it comes down to who gets the big moment.
David justice is one of my heroes growing up. I still remember putting his poster on my wall in high school in the early 90s. Growing up in Atlanta there was always great baseball and also great nwa/wcw wrestling on TBS that my family enjoyed. I remember when they traded Dave from the braves and i was hurt as a braves fan because we lost a great player and hero in my eyes. Glad the Braves honored him years later but i really wanted Dave to be like Chipper Jones and retire as a Brave. Glad he looks well and this interview brought back some great memories shared by me with my family. Till this day i still have my Braves Justice jersey .
"Was Bob Horner there?" "Nope." "Phil Niekro?" "Nope." "Biff Pocoroba?" "Nope." "Acuna?" "Not yet."
"Was Mike Tyson there?" Not yet
I loved going to the Braves games and watching this team play, Mark Lemke, David Justice, Otis Nixon, etc !
As many previous Braves players have said, just to have the chance to fight for a ring every season was an accomplishment that should not be diminished. I'll take being a perennial contender with only 1 or 2 titles over being a team like the Mets that make a deep playoff run only once a decade.
braves vs pirates- Sid Bream sliding at home plate!!! probably the best, most exciting game ive seen...
Yeah.. I was surprised they just completely glossed over Francisco Cabrera in ‘92 in this segment. I wonder if they mentioned it at some other point in the show.
I'm from the Atlanta area. We played baseball in the neighborhood almost every day, and everyone wanted to be David Justice.
I reallu enjoyed this interview. I am from Chicago, but those 90's Braves were fun to watch. I can't put them with the Bills since they did win it all.
Keyshawn interviews are the worst. You're a saint.
@@stldweller I thought he did a pretty good job with this interview. I love watching any talk about the 1990's Braves. Those guys are legends.
Those braves teams Dave was on were stacked but I think that Indians lineup was even better. Lofton, justice, manny Ramirez, both Alomars, Jim thome… good luck pitching vs that squad.
Maddux and Glavine carved them up tho...the Indians pitching was so-so. The Braves' lineup was underrated but as clutch as they come. Belle homered, Manny homered, and Thome homered..and that was it. On the other hand Klesko hit 3 hrs, Justice, Javy, and McGriff all homered.
I like where you going here Key. Interview as much of them Atlanta braves players from the 90s as you can 🙏🏾
Don't forget the Lemmer on that 1995 team. Mark Lemke!
I was born in 91 in a lil Oklahoma town. And my dad has been an Atlanta brave fan for life and so am I one of my earliest memories was watching that 95 series. Go braves
Watching the 90s braves were great time just 90s baseball in general I’m from Ontario Canada the jays 92 93 teams were unreal then the Indians and Yankees were stacked as well as the braves
How that team managed to win only one World Series is absurd.
91 and 96 were weird World Series..anomalies, strange occurances. Remember Lonnie Smith (baserunning)? Ron Gant (picked off) in 1991? The blown 7-0 lead in 1996 Game 4, the unhittable John Smoltz losing 1-0 in both game 7 in '91 and Game 5 in '96 the last game ever played at ATL-Fulton Co Stadium. Some stuff ain't meant to be.
They should've won a least 3 with that talent.
used to love that death lineup of Justice, pendleton, Crime dog Mcgriff and Deion Sanders and those HOF pitchers =) wow .....then we had Andruw and Chipper coming up a few years later right?
Ron Gant
@@casey3c Dang, How did I forget Gant.....He used to Mash the ball =)
@@RolandBullock-ej8wl Yea don't leave out Ron Gant, he was like the 30 for 30 guy on the team (Homeruns and Steals)
Whats crazy is the 95 Indians had one of the best lineups ever. Like top 5 ever and it was the braves pitching that stopped them
He is wrong -the weakness was not having a dominant closer in the mid-nineties
The worst was ‘96 -going to NY up 2-0 and letting the Yanks back in!
a dominant closer? They had wholers then went to smoltz
Wholers was dominant until leyrtiz took his soul in game 4
@@mikeyy425 Smoltz was a ace starter during the 1990s, he became a close for few years after that and by that time the team became more prone to one and done. As for Wohlers, I know the standards for closers in the 1990s were bad but the guy was more or less a flash in a pan. You could have argue that the certain closer the Yankees had during their dynasty days were rare and one can't expect a player like that to be found that easily. Plus what they had before Wohlers were worse with aging Reardon being the best of the bunch.
The 90s teams were the best...
If you want some heartbreak in the 7th game of the World Series...just grab David Justice...1991, 1997, and 2001 he was on the losing side in a classic 7-game Series...That might be a record.
But he married a young Halle Berry, hit that game 6 hr, and made millions..... Dude is a legend
The shame is, lots of “loyal” Braves fans were on his case in the 1995 World Series. They booed him because of something he said that the media intentionally twisted up to sell a story. I am proud to say I was not one of them. Dave was, is, and always will be my favorite baseball player of all-time. He was hitting .167 coming into Game 6 of that World Series, and I remember people booing him that game. It made me so mad, because I knew he was doing his best and the media was messing with him. I was so glad he shut up ALL THOSE critics with that rocket shot off Jim Poole to win it all. You’re the best! Love that he’s rocking his hometown Bengals with that hat, too!😄👍
Dale was our family's favorite player growing up.
Justice was class all the way. Where were you when Sid Slid Home?
braves fan here, listening to this gives me cold chills. thanks fore the memories DJ. great intervirew
Dave was one of my favorite players growing up. I still have a few of his rookie cards from back then. Watched every game.
The whole interview…
Keyshawn: “Was such & such there?”
Justice: “Not yet.”
Literally every time
Not sure who convinced Johnson that this would a wise career choice…he should be far away from microphones…
I used to watch all of their games on TBS, that team was one of the all time greats.
The 1996 NY Yankees had Cecil Fielder, Dwight Gooden, Darryl Strawberry & a rookie Derek Jeter. The Braves that year had their number in the World Series but got their butts kicked
Love to see more baseball history and greats like this. Subscribed to this and the pod
Dude made the playoff a LOT.
Thank you Keyshawn for having David on, every clip is killer. Lots of info and insight, growing up watching the Braves whoopass for consecutive years was extremely impressive.
Great interview, 2 Legends.
Dave is Awesome .. played in every playoff and World Series is his career!!
As a Latino MLB fan since the mid-90's, I have to disagree with Justice where he makes it seem like the "brothers" led that '95 Braves team to that World Series championship. Don't forget that pitching rotation. Of course your offense has to put up runs, and they helped do that, but they also had J. Lopez, C. Jones, J. Blauser, and R. Klesko that also pitched in. All I'm pointing out is, that was a whole team effort, led by their starting rotation.
I loved Cleveland back in the 90s, Kenny Lofton was the man. I hated the Braves pitching tbh. But Justice was always cool
Justice and dale murphy were my 2 favorite players growing up. I wore #3 in school and #23 in summer league, jr legion
Great Interview
The First Base thing in Money Ball makes it a little more funnier when the David Justice character tries to help out Hattie.
One of my favorite Braves players as a kid growing up in Atlanta. I used to have one of those foam David Justice gavels to swing at games. Thank you for the great memories David!
David Justice interviews self while Keyshawn stumbles in and out.
1993- Giants and Braves for the NL West. What a pennant race! Braves came back from way down to the Giants and won the division by one game. Can’t happen again with the wild card teams. No way.
Skip Caray and Pete Van Weiren. Those were the good ole days
Those Braves teams were great. My dad loved David Justice. The Yankees kept them from being a greater dynasty than they were.
In 1993 - the Phillies clearly were on steroids. Chipper said in his book it was the biggest team he ever saw.
Chipper wasn't even in the league in 1993
@@truthiscensored Correct. BUT in the postseason - you are allowed more than a 25-man roster - in case of injuries. He was one of those guys - and he got to sit in the dugout. If you watch the full 6 games online - you can actually see him.
Lenny Dykstras forearms were the biggest team I ever saw.
@@paulkersey7458 Yep. Daulton and Dykstra. Danny Jackson too. Kruk admitted all of this.
@@truthiscensoredhe came up in 1993. Was on the bench but not on the 93 playoff roster
Braves and my Phillies are chokers they both should have 6 world series rings
1991 World Series is perhaps the best world series ever played. If not the best, it has to be top 3
Great production
Dave Justice was my guy back in the day
As a life long Braves fan, its sad we only won 1 WS with that squad of hitters and pitchers
Justice was one of the many bit players for the Torre Yankees. But of all of them, he was the best
Justice, talk about that home run!
I miss loving baseball.
Klesko was a beast
I still have nightmares about ‘97 😂
The irony of this is that during those times Smoltz may have been their best postseason pitcher but in 1995 he had his worse.
In 95 They were 100% complete team because they had a stellar bullpen. Wohlers was unhittable that year, McMichael and Clontz were good as well. 96 hits Wohlers McMichael and Clontz fall off they lose another WS.
They lose in 91 WS game 7 Smoltz pitches 9 shutout Morris pitches 10 shutout, Alejandro Pena loses it.
And here's a name for you: Pedro Bourbon, Jr. - he got a clutch save in Game 4 pitching in the 9th and 10th innings.
Let him talk Key!
David Justice sounds like a Texan.
95 Braves could play with any team, ever.
Keyshawn will you STOP naming players who weren't there and let Justice TALK! JEEZ!!!!!!!!!!
DJ remembers every detail.
5 hall of famers and a HOF coach.
Keyshawn knows his baseball
'96 Yankees - "Was that Randy Johnson?"
need that DJ jersey
Big Dave should have had at least 1 more ALMVP
There was one weakness of those 90s braves teams...Some might get mad..but Bobby Cox didn't always make the good decisions in the playoffs...He was a legendary coach though...and Justice will always be 90s Atlanta..
Braves a least got one unlike the 90s Bills in the NFL who made 4 SBs and lost them all but man, that Braves team should've won a least 3 with that talent.
Those umps bailed your pitchers out with that wide strike zone in the 95 world series tho
Don't know what Dave is on, but I've watched quite a few documentary pieces on The 4 Falls of Buffalo the past 30 years.
Love listening to him!!
We still fck wit you in da A Dave!
Keyshawn can't talk because being a Dodgers Fan, they CHOKED from 1988-2020 😂. If it wasn't for 2020 the Dodgers would still be 1988 😂😂😂
Cooperstown bound
It was kool to see Dave, wish it was somebody else talkin baseball other than keyshawn tho lol
They won one lousy World Series. This is hysterical.
He was something serious. #bet
Did Keshawn do any research?
Should have never traded this guy. He was the team leader and what happened after they traded him? No rings!
Gant was pulled off!!!! 💔😤😠
96 jeff f..king Reardon is dominating leyritz 0-2 w fastballs, then decides to hang a curve. I still hate him to this day
What happened in '96???
A lot of people forget that David Justice was married to Halle Berry back in the 1990s!!
Why would anyone want to remember that? She ain't "Baseball"
Reality check. I love Justice. However, if it wasn't for the strike the 95 team has no shot. Montreal was 7.5 games up on Atlanta and widening the previous season. They end up with Grissom. The Expos had no weaknesses minus a work stoppage. That whole middle 90's has an asterisk.
That's really not true. The Braves were strong but were actually a below average hitting team. Klesko was statistically the best hitter by far but only played 2/3rds of the season. Chipper wasn't quite Chipper yet. McGriff and Justice were solid. But not really spectacular. The pitching staff carried them of course but there was a huge drop-off after the number 3 starter and they got lucky with Wohlers having a career best year.
Wow didn't realize Justice is the Buff Bills of baseball
Nah he won bro
@@christophercomitini8619 true, true. But how many lose 4 in any sport
And my boy dated Halle Berry . Getting flowers for that one!
Do your homework Keyshawn
David is full of it. There have always been baseball leagues all over the U S. Latin players are excelling because they play year round. And baseball is a harder sport to make it in.
Bro I can get a group of Black athletes from my city and beat the brakes off most Latin teams and some minor league teams. A good athlete is a good athlete. Black players don’t even need to specialize in a position. We can play all over and hit well, steal bases and score runs. I can just watch and tell which players I’m better than. I know I’m better than a few MLB players right now and I haven’t played since HS. I played in pickup baseball games with former players and was not even close to the worst player. The level of athleticism is the MLB is pathetic. Look at the athletes they used to have. Now the narrative is that baseball is not a sport. That’s because all these non athletic bums took over the sport.
@@davruck1 then do it. If it's so easy. Lol
You missed the point... he's saying that the game is too expensive for minority kids and low income white kids in the US, but they build facilities in Latin America to develop kids from youth levels. He saying why not build these development hubs in the US to develop those that don't have a chance, instead of having travel baseball being the only avenue for kids to be seen today
@@davruck1stop the cap
@@davruck1 i want more black players too but right now the league is more athletic than its ever been, purely because of training. If today's young black athletes started joining in more, it would be even more exciting. The key as said in the interview is getting more black kids to play, which based on what i see in my community and when speaking with coaches across the country, i am actually hopeful about
2001 when Yankees lose to Arizona
What's wrong with the braves now?😒
Braves won 15 straight
14
Keshawn is completely lost here. Do some research before you interview a legend
KJ really knows nothing about baseball. Props for at least talking about it though with DJ.
David was good but he didn’t make it his whole career a bravo and I don’t think acuna will either!
Justice strikes me as a high school player that has nothing to talk about except about how good he was.
Braves lost in 1991 thanks to Lonnie Smith
Didn’t he get decoyed by the SS on a ball he should have scored on?
@@paulkersey7458 yup…
@@paulkersey7458 ...by the 2nd baseman Chuck Knoblauch.
The Braves had the umps, too. How do you keep the '95 Indians from hitting? Call strikes on balls 18" off the plate the entire series.
That probably made it hard for Albert Belle to use his corked bat. And all the steroids, Manny Ramirez took were pointless.
@@robertormond2629 Exactly
You gotta be kidding me. Maddux and Glavine could carve up an all-star lineup using 3/4ths of the plate. They were the masters of timing and location. Go watch the '98 All Star Game 1st inning bases loaded no outs and Maddux gets out of it without the ball leaving the infield. Legit HoFers.
@fredball8240 All I know is that in THAT series, they were given 18" off the plate. That doesn't diminish them as pitchers. But they were getting that pitch all series, and they gladly took it. The Indians had their bats on their shoulders in disbelief. The umps saw it one way. I disagree.
Key just as ignorant about baseball as he is about football
Yankees would have beat them had they got by Seattle
