Not making any money here. If you’re the holder and you want me to take it down, just contact me via KZfaq.
My memory of this one was being extremely nervous with Van Slyke at the plate in the 9th. I don’t know what his stats against us were, but he always scared me- especially in big situations. The next thing that comes to mind was that I could’ve kissed Bruce Froemming (and really, no offense against Bruce, but how often does one have that thought?) for calling that last pitch a strike- because I kinda thought it was outside and high. But I’ll take it! I felt as confident after this game as I had felt under confident at the end of Game 5. I couldn’t wait for Game 7.

Steve Avery was hilarious to watch in this series, he was Mr. Cool on the mound, but nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs in the dugout.

Underrated NLCS...how the Braves pulled this off is beyond me. Out of all the years the Pirates should have won this was it. Braves just pitched that damn good, if they flinched at all they lose this series.

Totally agree!! ‘91 should have been the Pirates. But Avery and Smoltz was the difference

That's what good pitching does for you. Like in the 95 World Series. The Indians had the most stacked lineup in baseball but the Braves pitching just shut them down. Ironically, the series clinching game 6 ended 1-0 with Glavine tossing 8 innings of 1-hit ball.

This was one fantastic pitcher's duel, the likes of which you rarely see today. Here's Avery, showing what a fine pitcher he was before his arm turned into hamburger, versus Drabek, in a game that kind of foreshadowed the following year's Game 7, in which he was untouchable until the ninth.

Avery had three excellent years starting in '91. Good career, but I wonder how great he'd have been. I think I enjoyed his pitching more than any other.

I read on a Braves site somewhere that he suffered what was thought to be a minor injury in a Sept 1993 start in San Diego and he was never the same after that. Within a few years he was out of baseball. BUT he did have two key playoff starts in the Braves' '95 championship season so he definitely contributed to their title.

Avery wound up being overworked. He ended up starting 135 games before he had even turned 24. Most pitchers don't become full-time starters until the age of 23-24.

I’m a Twins fan (also became a secondary Braves fan after that amazing World Series) so I could have cared less at the time who the Twins played in the series-I was 7 at the time. This 9th inning was the only inning I watched in that entire NLCS, and I can still remember hearing Jack Buck scream “GOT HIM, GOT HIM!!” on that final K of Van Slyke

In this series, the Braves went 26 consecutive scoreless innings until the 9th inning of this game, while the Pirates went scoreless for the last 22 innings of the series. Even with the way pitching is dominating MLB nowadays I doubt we will see anything like this again anytime soon.

Except for Van Slyke, the 90s Pittsburgh Pirates were trash. Bonds will forever be remembered as the guy who couldn't throw out Sid Bream from left field a year after this series. He hit about .032 in the postseason for the Pirates. Essentially, Pittsburgh was the Buffalo Bills of MLB. I hated watching them choke, too, because Andy Van Slyke was one of my favorite players. Van Slyke was trying to get Bonds to move up some on the play when he failed to throw Sid Bream out but Bonds wouldn't listen to him.

You gotta have some brass balls to throw a changeup on the outside corner like that. I couldn't breathe as a Braves bandwagoner. This was more stressful than both Game 6 of the World Series and Game 7 of this series.

So true. He's pathetic. Had to cheat with roids so he could break Hank Aaron's HR record. What a bum Bonds is. Same can be said for all those steroid cheating bums. They ALL should be banned from ever getting into the HOF. But I give Arron credit, for not pissing or moaning about how Bonds had to cheat to break his record. Bonds will forever hold the "TAINTED RECORD" but not THEE RECORD set by MLB's TRUE HOME RUN KING, HANK AARON!!!

@@paulburns2239 I so agree 100% with you as Hank was & always WILL BE the BEST!!! He busted his ass & he didn't have to cheat to do it. I hope the steroid class NEVER gets into the HOF but ya just know they will at some point. This country dare I say it, has become full of whiners & crybaby's to where if they whine or cry enough, they'll get their way. Case N point, the confederate flag on the General Lee. And then a race car driver whined long enough & now the flag is no longer seen at NASCAR Raceways. Not to mention all the statues being taken down in the south. And pretty soon all those steroid cheating freaks who's baseball skills sucked so bad, that the only way they could get into the HOF is by cheating, will eventually get there, once they start whining enough. So let me get this straight. I paid good money to take my kids too a game only to see a bunch of steroid cheating bums play. That's not only a slap in the face of us fans, but it shows that it teaches kids that cheating was OK back then. So damn disgusting. IMHO ALL steroid cheaters should either be shot or stoned to death. Or at the very worse, have em stare at my mother N law. That'll REALLY kill em for sure! The one who got me was Rafael Palmeiro who sat on his ass & said pointing his stupid finger, "I didn't do steroids." Really? And yet the dumb sumbitch was CAUGHT doing them! He's pathetic! Just saying.
