Here is a good comeback from earlier this year (the Braves were down 5-1 going into the bottom of the 8th inning):


Wish BJ could have kept that up....hopefully next year.

Here's another great comeback against the same reds back in 93', features a young Klesko 2nd career homerun, Chipper second career at bat(a pitiful strike out) and Ron Gant the hero.

Good find. I remember that game since the HR hit right off the top of the wall.

Here's an oldie but goodie. It will be 40 years this coming April 8th. According to the preliminary 2014 schedule, that will be Atlanta's home opener against the Mets. Hank Aaron should throw out the first pitch.

I believe it was 93.

Late in the season. The Braves were down 5 games to the Giants in the division. And in the second game of a three game sweep, Justice and McGriff went back to back twice in the game.

I was 13 at the time so my recollection of the facts might be off. But that was my favorite moment ever. That series Propelled them to win the Division by a pretty good margin.

Can't find the Video though.

Here is the box score of that game:

You can also scroll down to find the play by play. McGriff and Justice went back-to-back in the 1st and 5th.

Also, here is Atlanta's schedule from that year:
1993 Atlanta Braves Schedule, Box Scores and Splits - Baseball-Reference.com

It was actually the 3rd game of the 3-game sweep. But pretty good memory nonetheless.

Here are a few more moments in HR hitting for the Atlanta Braves:

Bob Horner hits 4 HR in one game:

Can't find the video, but this one definitely deserves to be mentioned:

Walt Weiss' diving stop and throw to home during Game 3 of the 1999 NLDS. The NLDS was tied 1-1, and it was during the bottom of the 10th inning. The Astros had the based loaded with one out, so if I remember correctly, the Braves had their infield in. Eusebio hit the ball really well up the middle and somehow Weiss gets to it. But what also was awesome was how he managed to get up and throw a strike to home plate to get the force out. Right when that ball was hit, I thought the Astros had won the game. Really wish I could find the video because words just don't do that play justice.

Sup fellas. Thought I'd just stop by and give my congrats to Bobby Cox; well deserved. I've lived in AZ my whole life and been a long time Braves fans; give or take 25+ years now. I use to sit in front of my tv and watch the games on Tbs religiously. Some of my favorite players are Justice, Pendleton, Glavine, Avery, Smoltz, and Galarraga. Haha I use to try and bat like Galarraga in little league and it use to piss off my coach. Man, those were the good ol' days. Anyhow, I hope we can have some good conversations on here about our beloved braves. I had high hopes for them last year but it didn't pan out. Maybe next year.
