FALLJUySUUKT ' The Atlanta Braves opened the 1 993 season with aspirations that it would finally be the year they would bring home the World Series title. The Braves were eariy 4-1 favorites to win the World Scries, and their pitching staff was re- garded as the best in baseball. It did not take long, however, for the Braves to falter and look upwards to the San Fran- cisco Giants who took control of the Western Division. By the All-Star break, the Braves had accumulated the league ' s worst team batting average, and had fallen nine games behind the Giants. The sldd would end there, how- ever, as the Braves began to mount one of the greatest comebacks in the history of baseball. Just four games after the All- Star break, the Braves traded for one of the game ' s most [Holific power hitters, Fred McGriff. On the same night the Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium press box caught on fire, McGriff stepped into the line-up and ignited the Braves. Atlanta slowly but surely climbed back into the Western Division race. The Braves compiled baseball ' s best record after the All-Star break, and on September 11 di, diey found them- selves atop the Western Division. The race came right down to the wire and the Braves won the West on the last day of the season. What once had seemed aik inqxMsible dream had beconK- a reality. After another successful regular U season , the mi raci cs ran out for the B raves as they could noi compete as National League Champions. The Philadelphia PhiUies took the NLCS four games to two and ended the Braves bid for a third consecutive trip to the Worid Series. Despite the disappointments of the play- offis, tfaey could not overshadow the in- credible comeback story of the Atlanta Braves. Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine anchored the pitching staff as Glavine won 20 plus games for the third consecu- tive year and Maddux captured his sec- 18 A ' i ond Cy Young Award. David Justice smashed 40 homeruns and led the team in runs batted in. Ron Gant was dubbed Mr. Clutch as 18 of his 36 homenms tied or won games. Fred McGriffs ar- rival turned the season around and gave the team a huge lift as he tlnished with 37 homenms and 101 nins batted in. The Braves finished ttte regii season with over 100 wins and provid yet another year of great pitching, iirA hitting, and incredible excitement. Wh the World Series rings eluded the Bra for the third straight year, the 1 994 seas is just around the comer. -Jason Hatfiel nh
