But then there would have been no Tino

@@coolbeeanz7322 +

Donny baseball doesn’t need one. But yea it would have been amazing!

@@jameslisle7775 It would have been better to get one however.

Agreed. Hard watching him raise the ‘96 banner.

I was a freshman in high school when this transpired. The Braves have always been my NL team and the Yankees my AL team. Bittersweet but exciting series.

Well said. That 96 WS was pretty special. In my book it's 98 but 96 is a close 2nd

I can totally relate to this. I became a Yankees fan in 1993 at age 11. Them falling short to the Blue Jays for the division stung. Then I felt robbed by the 1994 strike taking away what was a sure World Series win. Then the 95 ALDS vs the Mariners was such a crushing loss that it took me a week to get over it. So when I saw this amazing run to the championship, it was thrilling and satisfying. I remember sweating it out with the Texas Rangers and Juan Gonzalez in the ALDS before Bernie Williams emerged as a superstar that series. I remember the Jeffrey Maier homer and Bernie, Daryl Strawberry and Cecil Fielder pounding the Orioles through the ALCS. And man oh man, I remember that World Series against the defending world champion Atlanta Braves. I remember going down 0-2 thanks to Smoltz and Glavine and the press writing the Yankees off heading back to Atlanta while boasting of a budding Braves dynasty and their vaunted starting pitching. Then…David Cone puts on a heroic pitching performance in Game 3. The Yankees come All the way back from 6-0 in Game 4 and then Jim Leyritz hits the big 3-run homer off Mark Wohlers in the 8th inning that shifts the tide of the series, followed by the great Wade Boggs drawing a bases-loaded walk for the game-winning run. Then Andy Pettitte outduels Jon Smoltz pitch for pitch in Game 5, and the Yankees get revenge on Greg Maddux in Game 6 with big hits from Derek Jeter and Joe Girardi. And John Wetteland and Mariano Rivera were absolutely unhittable that series. When Hayes caught the final out, it felt cathartic, it felt exhilarating and it felt sweet as can be. Yes, the 1998 championship was arguably the greatest team of all time, 1999 was the year they cemented themselves as Team of the Decade and 2000 gave us the Subway World Series. But 1996 was the most memorable one to me. Pinstripe Pride all day. 💪🏼

@M Nobody gives a sh!t to be honest. Personally, I think Soccer is complete trash and boring as hell

@M When the US win the World Cup in Qatar, then you can make that assumption. If you prefer soccer over baseball, don't comment that on a baseball video. What a idiot. 🤦🏻

Paul O'Neill....Mr. Secretary

He was my dad's favorite player......he was the emotional drive for that 90s team....

Maybe if the present day team has a player like him, they'd be more consistent at least.

That was some roll over the pile on celebration 😂

I watched crappy Yankees teams in the 80's and early 90's, never would i have thought I would see them win a World Series, never mind 5 in my lifetime!

Same here the shit they were putting out on the field in the late 80's and early 90's , i never thought I'd see them go to the world series

Nearly 24 years later :O

I taped it with my vcr---still have it 👍

I'm watching it on my telephone!

Yes it does. Keep in mind a losing team doesn't bring out fans. Find videos of the early 90s Yankees. Upper decks were completely empty. Now watch videos of the 2017 Yankees. Check out Didis wild card home run

I went to a few of the ALDS and ALCS games in 2017. That’s the closest to the old stadium I’ve seen. Was much more alive than it was in 2009 when they won it all.

Spoke too soon. In 2017, 2018 and now 2019, the new stadium is loud like the old one. Yankees finally have a talented core of great players who bring a winning culture back to America’s baseball team.

Eugenio Vieira I feel like the series against the Astros this year the place is really going to be shaking like the 90s, especially if it’s the game to go to the WS. Also I think if they get to the WS, it’s really going to be rowdy since it’s been 10 years since we won.

New Yankee Stadium pales in comparison to the original. With Yankee Stadium no longer active, Fenway Park(1912) and Wrigley Field(1914) remain the lone ballparks of the golden era--Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ted Williams, Ty Cobb, Mickey Mantle, Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Bench, Rose, Fisk, Pedro, Ortiz, Clemens, Boggs, Bonds, Musial, Yaz, among other all time greats to have graced Fenway Park's sacred grounds.

That's a thing I dread, getting married the day of my team playing a crucial championship game. I hope your mom was somewhat of a Yankee fan so she could understand him caring that much about the Yankees on their wedding day.

Wow what a great story

The whole damn AL Beast loves Zim. Thanks for getting him some Rings before he went home.

You'll never see anything like it in baseball ever again. For them to 3peat and win 4 of 5 under the 3 rounds of playoffs form is absolutely amazing.....We have 25 years of data on the 3 round playoffs . It's basically a total crapshoot of randomness

@@dukedematteo1995 I mean the Yankees had the highest payroll and had a lot of steroids users like roger clemens.

Bryan Green if you listen to the post-game interview in this game though, he was really brilliant because he got a well-deserving dig in at the umpires who really DID play a role in the Yankee comeback in this series, and he did it by denying that he was doing it, thus maintaining his class. He said "we don't blame the umpires!" But obviously by even bringing that up, (he wasn't asked about it, it was his initiation) he was subtly reminding everybody that there actually WAS something to blame them for. Wily words from Cox. Though he, too, contributed to the loss with that unorthodox intentional walk of Bernie Williams in Game 4 when it advanced two runners and led to the Yankees' two runs in the 10th.

FACTS

@@ADEAL918 I think what Bobby Cox displayed in that postgame interview was that you can agree to disagree with some of the calls on the field but once the final out is recorded you just walk off the field and leave it at that. It's hard for a lot of managers to do that sometimes, it's but a simple little thing really. Ultimately, Cox didn't make any excuses after it was all over. He really was one of the great managers in the sport as well.

ckendall67 I don’t fully agree that this was what he was doing though. And I agreed with what he did. That series WAS influenced by umpire related incidents. He wasn’t asked about the umpires at all, why mention them unsolicited even by saying “we don’t blame them” unless you’re trying to give a little subtle reminder that there actually IS something to legitimately blame them for. To do so is a sly way of blaming them BY claiming you’re not. I liked that. He maintained his class by not openly blaming them, but he reminded everyone watching that this WAS, in fact, a factor in what happened.

@@ADEAL918 Yeah I guess you have a good point. I think Cox was upset with Welke over what happened in Game 4 as well( when he got in the way by mistake while Jermaine Dye was trying to make that catch in foul territory & it sort of helped the Yankees start a rally soon after ), and that call in Game 6 at 2B, Grissom easily beat that throw too, that was a missed call by the umps. Not that the Series was decided by those two incidents alone, it's just that stuff like that happens sometimes. Imagine if they had replay back in '96 then the initial call on the field would've been overturned & Grissom would've been safe at 2B and who knows what happens after.

I wasn't even born yet lol Lucky you!

Me too. I was 9 years old. My Dad had season tickets in Main Reserve level Section 15 Row 1 seats 1 and 2, and sold seats 3 and 4 for over 20 years. My dad passed in 2004 and My mom and I didnt renew them after 2010 season. Second year at new stadium..we didnt like where they put us.. Totally different angle.. they matched it by price and not location of old seats. Great game, and great year. I was at Goodens no hitter vs Seattle back in early June 96 as well

What song played after the last out? Seems like I recognize it.

Same here man. Bleachers. 11 years old. Nothing greater

I envy you!!! I grew up in Seattle. I was a HUGE Derek Jeter fan. Loved this era of Yankee Baseball, but never had a chance to see a game at Yankee Stadium. My parents weren’t big on travel and by the time I was moved out and financially stable the stadium was no more. 😢

And MLB baseball bias umpiring and steroid era use of steriods blew a 20 year relationships with Middle America and African Americans that embraced the Braves. The World Series ratings after that lost to TV sitcoms and pro wrestling of the late 90s and regular season football games. It biased towards the Yankees and Black America and Middle America saw this and baseball got to hockey levels in popularity that even White kids started playing soccer more than baseball. After this World Series Black people in the Black Mecca of Atlanta understood how baseball at that time felt about cities like Atlanta and how it felt about Black Americans and people of color so the higher ratings went to the NFL and NBA and Black youth began going there instead of baseball. This World Series showed that MLB at the time favored the big market instead of Middle America and that they did not embrace Black America and the team that Black America embraced so baseball got its ratings from older White viewers and from the New York area off the northeast and White kids in Middle America began playing soccer and the World Series games lost in the ratings to regular season NFL games and TV sitcoms that still valued Middle America and Black America.

@@KBP120these damn kids won’t get off my lawn

Lol was it a good game?

Probably some bullshit about winning the most games in the 90's. Because that's all they got. Wanna know who won the most games in the 80's? the yankees. haha

I remember after game 2 a writer for an Atlanta Newspaper said the Braves were so good they could beat the 1927 Yankees. I wonder what he had to say after they couldn't beat the 1996 Yankees.

I just found all the Atlanta papers from that October week and the journey the writers take from "this series is over" to "uh-oh" to "the yankees just came back and beat us 4 straight .. how?' is nothing short of bliss to read

Atlanta newspaper: the 1996 braves are better than murderers row *Game 6 ends* Atlanta newspaper: well shit

Yogi Berra said it himself "it ain't over till its over"

+joesakic91 Good points. Joe Torre had a knack for making good decisions at the right time. When Torre saw what was working, or had a high probability of working, he knew exactly what to do and when to do it. Charlie Hayes was producing. Fielder was generally regarded by many to be this big huge HR hitting machine who also strikes out a lot. But to those watching the 1996 WS, Fielder was getting base hits and clutch RBIs.

It was very hard for opposing teams to deal with the depth of the Yankees teams of the late 90s.

@Lighthouse in the Storm What come?

as a young kid watching that, I knew it was HUGE. His best hit as a Yankee.

Mike Goldthwaite their future manager

Mike Goldthwaite I cannot stand the Yankees, especially being a Twins fan and seeing the many versions of the curse in recent memory. But there are several guys associated with this Yankee team that you just can't help but like, no matter how much you may dislike the team--Jeter, Rivera, Girardi, and Torre especially.

Best part about it- the class of Jeter reaching first base and knowing he did his job and that's it..it's the 3rd inning and they're up 2 zip..even if it's the World Series. Then watch him score in the same inning. Makes you wanna go back in time so badly just to watch real baseball again. Watching a man out there play the game. And they were all like that back then, especially the Yankees. Watching baseball now is like watching fucking little league kids and a bunch of dumber than dirt rejects out there do "bat flips" and dance around like toddlers...in regular season games on plays that mean nothing no less. Times it by 1000 in any postseason game. And this is what people like, this is what MLB advertises now. It's a disgrace how fucking dumb things have become.

Penguins and Red Wings weren't dynasties.

Rylan Dawe i know but both teams won more than 1 stanley cups in the 90's. 91-92 penguins and 97-98 red wings.

+1990Thunderbolt *especially the 90's Yankees. Only one of those that matters.

Brian Brennan honestly. out of all the 90's sports teams. sorry but i choose the chicago bulls. michael jordan man!

Not the 90's Cowboys

Dont forget big cecil fielder! He had went to japan and back!

Yankees were stacked with legends!

Also John Wetteland, who had been on a legit contender two years earlier before the strike shut down the season.

Really? He was riding that trot later on really well.

I started being a yankee fan right after the 1994 strike.

I love the Yankees. Yankees for life!!

This was kind of an underdog team. the one two years later, the '98 one, was one of the best teams ever, and favorites to win it all. But this team was not expected to beat the Braves.

@@courtgizzle They haven't had a losing season since you've become a fan.

@@josephnajarian2038 Say what you will about Joe Buck, he was really exceptional in the booth in his World Series as an announcer. And calling that final out still rings loud for Yankee fans nearly a quarter-century later. :-)

Gary Cooper I started watching baseball right after the 1994 strike. My spirit got up when the Yankees clinched the wild card in 1995. So devastated how they blew their 2-0 series lead against Seattle. I lost interest when the Yankees trailed 2-0 in the WS. But ever since Leyritz hit the tying 3 run homer, I became a die hard yankee fan.

@@courtgizzle I was a baseball fan before & after the strike of '94. I just couldn't see myself not being interested, I can always sit back and watch a game on TV no matter what. And I remember how a lot of folks wrote off the Yankees after they lost the 1st two games yet I had this 'weird' feeling the Yankees still had a shot even after being down 0-2, I don't believe I could've actually seen them winning 3 straight down in Atlanta initially but I just felt for some reason the Yankees were still going to make it an interesting Series. And was I right. :-)

@@courtgizzle Bandwagon fan spotted

The triple that shook New York.

Yup. 'Nuff said. This series was a painful one for me. 2:36:20 made me feel the pain of almost 23 years ago. What a series though. Gotta hand it to the Yankees.

giovannipancia I get a kick out of Cox's post game interview, getting in the best of both worlds. He acted classy but by even having to say "we don't blame the umpires" that was a backdoor way of acknowledging there WAS such blame to be assessed and that umpires DID play a factor in this one--both Welke's failure to get out of Dye's way in Game 4 that led directly to a run the Yankees never should have had in a game that went extra innings, and then the Grissom missed call at 2nd in this game that likely cost the Braves a run since it was followed by a double. Cox was a gentleman in not acting like a sore loser by openly putting the blame on those plays, but by specifically making the reference, he was likely also subtly reminding everyone that without those plays the Braves likely would have won this series.

@Lighthouse in the Storm damn right

Hey, as a Yankees fan, I tip my hat to you, that was the toughest of the 4 championships we won in this era. That Braves team was no joke. But the Yankees could not be denied that year. Who would’ve figured that this team would be the start of a dynasty?

​@@Jeff_PryceI know. When Cox says "we've been here 4 out of the last 5 years and I defy anybody to say they've done that" when this was the start of the Yankees not just GOING to 4 out of 5, but winning 4 out of 5 LMAO. Kinda crazy

25 years later. The team the Yankees beat in this video are the World Series Champions now lol how ironic!

Before the Falcons choked a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl, the Braves blew this World Series lead. It must be an Atlanta sports thing.

@@serge014 Not now

The Yankee teams of the late-'90s were much easier to root for, even for a guy like me who's not necessarily a Yankees fan. They were a fun team to watch back then. Not so much the current Yankees teams, they're good alright but hardly good enough to root for, at least for my liking.

@@wvXvxvXvw Tom Yawkey spent 44 years trying to buy a championship and came up empty. Judging the Yankees is like judging a book by its cover.

Dynasty of having the highest payrolls in all seasons and full of steroid users.

Bryan Green but catchers do tend to be slower than other ball players. That's why Buck made the comment about "he can run for a catcher" (remember his two broadcast partners had both been catchers.)

And now he is in the HOF

Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle and Jeter. Those are the five best Yankees of all time.

Karen Took the kids class act all around. Even for someone like me--a Minnesotan who hates the Yankees--you can't have anything but mad respect for Joe Torre. And Girardi, his successor, is the same way.

@Lighthouse in the Storm Because they're the greatest.

But the Blue Jays were not a good team for the rest of the 90's after Joe Carter's series winning homer.

That's either the strangest of coincidences, or fate.

***** True. But many people consider 2001 the year the dynasty ended. Their core and key leaders left after 2001: Paul O'Neill, Scott Brosuis, and Tino Martinez. While they were still good afterwards, they didn't have the same mystique and aura about them. They were replaced by mercenary guys who were overpaid and didn't play with the heart that O'Neill and Brosius did.

Eh, he got lucky. Arizona should have lost that series. Had Pettitte been himself in Game 6, this wouldn’t have even been a discussion.

Big time!
