The next year, the Braves walk the Mets from 8-1 to 8-6, and then they hit and homered to an 11-8 win. We went to the Series, not them. Yeah, we lost, but hey, revenge lol
@@christopherortiz9330 then the season after that, you were three outs away from taking the division lead and they came back on you to keep it, then they beat you again with a seven-run ninth that resulted in you finishing third
Bobby Valentine's reaction was my same reaction watching at home as a Mets fan. The gods smiled on us with the ball going through Buckner's legs in '86 and it's been all downhill since.
I worked at the braves stadium during that game. I was the usher giving people high fives on the visitors dugout after the game ended...best job in the world by far. Got to see Mark McGuire take batting practice was the most awe inspiring thing in the league. Met Daryl Strawberry when the Yanks came to town, got to meet Jose Lima before he passed away. Would love to do it again!!!
UncleMikeNJ the Braves were favored in that series. Better regular season record, better rotation, and they actually had played each other in an interleague series that year with the Braves winning 2 of 3. They just melted down. Also hurt by an absolutely boneheaded move to leave Tom Glavine in one inning too long in Game 3 when they were on the verge of getting back in the series and had a dominant closer who could easily go two innings if necessary. Glavine was coming off an illness and was clearly tiring and he gave away a game tying two run bomb to Chuck Knoblauch. Once that happened it was just a matter of time and they lost their last chance for a momentum shift.
@@ADEAL918 Na'ah...the Braves were absolutely the underdogs in 1999. I remember it vividly. Maddux pitched so well in Game 1, it felt like it might be an awesome change for them to get the 1-0 lead, but the Yankees found a way like they always did to manufacture the runs to win.
Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot i don't know how odds are determined in a case like this, honestly, but just pointing out all the very legitimate reasons the Braves actually matched up quite well against this Yankee team. Again, had played them in interleague during the season and won 2 of 3, better regular season record by 5 games, and all four pitching matchups favored the Braves, at least ERA-wise--Maddux vs. Hernandez, Millwood vs. Cone, Glavine vs. Pettitte, and Smoltz vs. Clemens. The Braves starter had the lower ERA in all four of those match-ups. Yankees may have had a slight edge in their lineup and certainly an edge in the bullpen--Rivera gave them that over anyone. But this series had no business ending in a sweep and that was helped along by those Braves starters in Games 1 and especially 3 being left in for far too long.
UncleMikeNJ I don’t know how the Braves were ever Team of the Decade at that point. They just won their only title while the Toronto won back to back AND beat the Braves. Dumbest call ever
@Y Marina Yeah....right where Rickey Henderson and Bobby Bonilla were sat down playing cards inside the clubhouse while the game was still going on. True story.
@@ckendall67 According to what I was hearing. Rickey Henderson was upset about being pulled out of the game. So he asked Bobby Bonilla to play cards with him.
@@ericwicker7514 Ricky was actually upset about the way the Mets manager Bobby Valentine took him out of the game. Ricky was not upset simply because he was taken out.
What I remember most about this was before Andruw came up to the plate, was Don Baylor, then hitting coach, putting his arm around Andruw's shoulders and talking to him. He was surely telling the young Andruw to be patient, look for your pitch. I remember it giving me chills!
Braves always found a way to stick it to my mets in more ways than one . First they beat us then they go and hand the fucking Yankees another title without any resistance.
lou Albino The Mets wore the Braves out physically and emotionally. What an amazing series. Hopefully it will be revived this season. Both teams are looking good! I love watching Syndergaard and deGrom pitch. More Acuna homers are coming!
Dude that rivalry was the only one that I’ve ever experienced that complexity engulfed me as a kid. I HATED the Braves with all my heart. Now, looking back, I have only the deepest appreciation for the caliber of player that made up those Atlanta teams. I actually spoke to Andruw Jones once during this 99 season.... or maybe it was even 98 but I told him the Mets were gonna beat them and he laughed and said “Mets no beat us. Ever” haha
@@MrDodger3222 🤣🤣🤣 This comment aged horribly as we are your reigning, defending World Champions. It feels so good to be on top. It wasn't at home but Truist and the Battery went bonkers after the last out was made in Houston.
Sort of an anti-climatic final at-bat to this NLCS, the Braves marched out to a huge lead in this game only for the Mets come back & tie it on Piazza's HR late, they kept going back & forth in the next couple of innings, the Mets were desperate to try & win this game & force a Game 7, but...not to be. The Mets just couldn't quite complete the comeback as much as they tried. Braves foiled the Mets' bid that year for a Subway Series. The Mets eventually got their the following season....but ultimately both teams would lose their respective Series appearances vs the vaunted Yankees.
I think this was the second best LCS of all time. My personal fav is the 1986 NLCS. Felt like a 7 game series when it was in reality was a 6 game series
1999 NLCS would have been the greatest NLCS if Mets forced a game 7. You gotta have a game 7 to be considered: For me, its: For NLCS = 2003 and 2004 (its a tie). For ALCS = 2003. Honorable mentions of LCS that were great with only 6 games: 1986 NLCS, 1997 ALCS, 1997 NLCS, 1999 NLCS.
I feel like the only missing pieces for a World Series run are amongst the pitching. We need a confident, dominant closer to allow Viz and Minter to be better as set up men. I think one top ace pitcher would do wonders for these younger kids. Wright and Touki look ready to make the FO question holding onto Gausman and Teheran.
I was at this game as well. Mike Piazza hit a home run to tie the game in later innings and all the Braves fans kept throwing his homerun ball back on the field... was hilarious...
Good point! ... In 2008 there was a game at Wrigley Field where the Cubs were trailing the Rockies 9-0 and came back to win 10-9 ... so that was a good one too 8-)
In the '90's, only the 1995 Mariners-Yankees Divisional playoffs and 1992 Braves-Pirates NLCS were better Non world series playoff matchup than this very good '99 NLCS in the 1990's decade IMO. However to call this the best 6-game playoff series in MLB history is a bit much buddy.
That '86 astros/mets classic can be argued as the best 6-game post season series in MLB history. However that series is underrated compared by even better Angels/Red Sox and the Mets/Red Sox world series in '86.
i wanted to see the subway series that year, the mets took the lead in extra innings TWICE, and STILL LOST. the falcons were in great position to break the atlanta curse against the pats, but two consecutive holding penalties forced the punt, then the pats tied the game at 28, and went on to win 34 - 28 in OT. The Braves beat the Astros in the 2021 World Series, ending the 26 year drought.
Yeah but the Braves would go on to lose the World Series to the Yankees 4 games to 0. The following year 2000 the Mets would to the World Series and loose to the Yankees 4 games to 1 in the subway series.
Nick Perez how are they the team of the 90’s? They went to 5 WS and lost 4 of them. The Yankees went to 3 of them and won all 3 of them and beat the Braves twice in them. Plus had more titles than any other team in baseball that decade and a 114 win season that ended in a title.
“We swept the Braves in the WS...” So, how many hits did you have in that World Series? Or, maybe you pitched an inning or two? Stop saying “We”. It’s pathetic.
bigeric1030 lol so saying we in support of my team is pathetic? Ok smh must be another dumbass yankee hater. Especially because you’re pinpointing that I said we and NOTHING else from my post.
This braves team was severely depleted and was one of the worst of the run. Lopez missed the second half of the season, smoltz was injured for the playoffs and galarraga was out the entire year. I was shocked that they made the WS. The 97 and 98 teams were much better

This game ended at 11:41 AM on October 19th, 1999. I was born at 11:42.
I was at this game. The excitement in the stands was palpable. One of my best childhood memories.
I love how the bat boys were the first ones out to jump in the pile
Would have been better off just grooving it and hoping for the best.
We had so much fun at this game. Braves fans especially loved beating the Mets in the Chipper era. I was in right field bleachers.
Probably the most embarrassing way to lose a series
+NIck Perez Lot of pressure to throw a strike.
Especially after winning Game 5 in dramatic fashion.
Nah getting swept like trash is more embarrassing.

Wasn't just Buckner. Game 7 was a cautionary tale of bad management by John McNamara. You couldn't manage a game worse than he did that night.
It's crazy that the Braves who were always there for awhile haven't been back to the world series since. Actually pulling for them this year

AmericanGiant100 and a subway series a year before it happened for NBC as well if the Mets could’ve taken it and won a game 7.
