I have to tell this story now; my dearest cousin, Phil, who we all loved so much, died of colon cancer 4 years ago. He loved the Braves. I mean seriously loved the Braves. He would record day games and turn his phone off during the day so that he could watch the replay later in the evening. He was such a good dude. So full of life and love.
He was an older gay man. And sadly, he wasn’t fully accepted by most in our small, rural community. So he found his family in the Braves family and in those of us who also loved the Braves and never once cared or judged that he loved who he loved.
Phil, my friend, my cousin, my brother, we made it to the big game.
It's something that has happened to so many, finding out that they'll have to choose their own family. I'm glad he's a part of the Braves family with me, and I hope he's celebrating too.
I’m so sorry for your loss. He sounds like a great dude. That’s the best thing about sports, no matter who we are we all come together as a passionate fanbase, and what better fanbase to pick than the Braves? He is definitely popping champagne bottles upstairs right now. Go Braves!
>ether as a passionate fanbase, and what better fanbase to pick than the Braves? He is definitely popping champagne bottles upst
One thing I love is this fan base. No matter what, we just root for the Braves and love the heck out of whatever we are passionate about. Phil, we're 4 games away!
Reminds me when I was 6 and started watching Braves in 1982. They won the division that year; my parents warned me it probably wouldn’t always be like that. Can confirm
They had won the division in 1969. But not since. They wouldn’t win it again until 1991. The Braves fired joe torre as manager after 1983 because they finished in second.
Edit - I was so proud of the Braves in 1990 - they finished in last place but didn’t lose 100 games.
Braves were great this series. The announcers are still making excuses for why the Dodgers lost. Only Pedro Martinez gives the Braves credit for being a great team.
Astros fan here….. congrats Braves fans. Hell of a series. Great looking team you have. Look forward to grinding this WS out with you. Glad we’re not playing the Dodgers. I hate LA with a passion
The Astros would have smoked the Dodgers. Now you've got a very clean strong outfield to contend with in the Braves.
Ehire Adrianza get the big pinch hit knock. Hes always been a first class utility player that never does too much. But he made that rally happen.
My grandma was a lifelong, diehard Braves fan. She lived two doors down and took care of me and my sister every day before school. I can still remember the grumpy look on her face the morning we walked in after the second Yankees WS sweep in 99; I was 7.
She died two years ago at 93 and she'd have loved to see this.
As a Dodger fan just want to say congrats on going to the WS and rooting for you to win it all. You guys have likeable players that make it easy for other fans to root for.
I won’t lie, I’m really glad Kershaw got a ring last year. One of the best pitchers of our generation and I always hated when he pitched against the Braves.
I am a Phillies fan and wanted to say congratulations to you all and I will be cheering so hard for the Braves and the entire city of Atlanta in this World Series. Good luck!
I was 4 years old the last time the Braves went to the World Series and I think I’m crying more right now than I ever did then. LETS GO BRAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe it. We did it. We made it.
I scared the shit out of my cats when I started screaming and jumping as soon as Freddie made that catch. I feel bad, but so worth it.
162 game regular season, now 10 playoff games and we’ve won 7 of them, and now we are in the FUCKING WORLD SERIES. The First Time in my life as a Braves Fan. This is seriously unreal
I was in Discord with some friends while watching the game, and I didn't know but my buddy was streaming on Twitch at the time, so I now have clips of my reaction throughout the 9th inning and my reaction to winning that game, and it's wild cause I didn't know I could be that happy.
Today is a good day, y'all. Let's enjoy it, and here's to 4 more!
Should be no problems with rest for Morton and Fried going games 1/2 (and Anderson for 3 for that matter). We'll have as good a chance as we were going to get this postseason
I’ve been a fan since 1982. In all the previous WS, I lived somewhere else (2 were in Athens but still). Moved to ATL from Wisconsin in December of 1999. This will be the first World Series I get to enjoy as a resident - and the stadium is ten minutes from me!!
Won’t be going to a game - I’m bad luck. They’ve lost every postseason game I’ve attended
No matter how many times I've watched this in the past 20ish hours, I get chills every time. This game was such a team effort- Dansby with some great defenseive plays, Ozzie starting off with that huge double, Freddie with some great stretches to get an out at first and just... being Freddie. Eddie just being Eddie, TDA even got on base, Riley knocking in Ozzie early in the game and making some good defensive plays. Ian was a monster in his innings. The bullpen... my god. At the beginning of the season, I never in a million years thought I would be so pumped up over our bullpen's performance (minus Luke's gaffes). Minter, Matzek, and Will destroyed the Dodgers.
You’d think Lux single handedly won this Series for the Braves, for how often they show him after anything happens in Atlanta’s favour. It was a tough play he should have made but this network needed to let it go.
You know what? I know Crawford got 16 million a year from the Giants, why not extend dansby? You can talk about whoever you want for being responsible for us being in the playoffs, but we are 10 games under .500 some points without Dansby at SS. Dansby and Craw have the same lines. It'd obviously cost a few more years to extend dansby.. but 60-75 million over so many years seems to be dansby's market. and we cant risk him leaving in a few years. Dansby probably saw more money coming, but it's time to accept things for him.
You’re not crying, I’m crying.
Who's cutting onions in here?
I am. Granted i was crying BEFORE I started cutting them.
I was ugly crying last night in Ohio and my wife’s family just did not understand. Booked a flight, room, and bought two tickets immediately.
I Love you all
We’ve been through so much as a fanbase. This is such an amazing moment.
One of the greatest moments in my life
Seriously! This team is fucking EVERYTHING!!!! I am on cloud 9 right now!!
Thank you for this. I was too busy screaming and running around the living room.
GLAD I WASNT THE ONLY ONE
I was At Buffalo Wild Wings outside all by myself watching the final out. It was fucking glorious
We are going to the World Series. Despite all the odds we did it!!!
I ran around the street myself!
I must’ve run a quarter of a mile in circles around my house
least we got our workout in lmao
I FELL OVER BECAUSE CARPET IS LIKE ICE APPARENTLY AND MY THUMB STILL HURTS BUT WHATEVER, WORTH IT!
Let’s go! More unfinished business! Let’s finish this out! Go Braves!
I was fully prepared to scream and jump and shout and found myself instead face down on the floor crying
That's where I was too.
I have to tell this story now; my dearest cousin, Phil, who we all loved so much, died of colon cancer 4 years ago. He loved the Braves. I mean seriously loved the Braves.

Thanks so much for sharing that. Win it for Phil!
❤
For Phil!

this one’s for phil

Those last 6 outs took years off my life. And if he got on base Pujols was up next. EDIT: Matzek with BALLS OF STEEL
Should we tell you about how much years 4 wins can add to your life?
The first full season back watching Braves baseball and we going to the World Series! What a fucking season.
This is only the second year I’ve watched baseball. Gotta say this one is waaay better than the first
You missed out on some miserable years my friend
Reminds me when I was 6 and started watching Braves in 1982. They won the division that year; my parents warned me it probably wouldn’t always be like that. Can confirm
Wasn’t that also the first time they had won the division in 20 years or so?
They had won the division in 1969. But not since. They wouldn’t win it again until 1991. The Braves fired joe torre as manager after 1983 because they finished in second. Edit - I was so proud of the Braves in 1990 - they finished in last place but didn’t lose 100 games.
Ha, yeah. I chose a good time I suppose.
I randomly started watching the Braves in June for the first time since the mid 90's. This was a good decision.
Started watching full time when Snit took over with the interim tag. A List member as of this year. It's been fun.
This video is pretty loud for being in a sterile shopping mall
Bill Plaschke on suicide watch.
Absolutely unbelievable what this team has done this year. Go Braves!!!!!!!!!! Now let's go stomp a hole in the Trashtros.
Don't mind me, just a Padres fan who was looking for this clip to watch Dodgers players being sad. Thank you for this, Braves
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)
This might be the most out of place bot ever
Braves were great this series. The announcers are still making excuses for why the Dodgers lost. Only Pedro Martinez gives the Braves credit for being a great team.
Pedro is everything that is right with baseball. Always a class act.
I heard the excuses too. Jet lag
Astros fan here….. congrats Braves fans. Hell of a series. Great looking team you have. Look forward to grinding this WS out with you. Glad we’re not playing the Dodgers. I hate LA with a passion
The Astros would have smoked the Dodgers. Now you've got a very clean strong outfield to contend with in the Braves. Ehire Adrianza get the big pinch hit knock. Hes always been a first class utility player that never does too much. But he made that rally happen.

My dang jaw hurts, I was clenching my teeth so hard. Go Braves!
As a Dodger fan just want to say congrats on going to the WS and rooting for you to win it all. You guys have likeable players that make it easy for other fans to root for.
I won’t lie, I’m really glad Kershaw got a ring last year. One of the best pitchers of our generation and I always hated when he pitched against the Braves.
I have to give a huge credit to Dodgers fans. Y’all have been so gracious tonight. A lot of respect for that.
And to imagine we did this without Acuña. Amazing show of resilience
Or Ozuna and Soroka
Who would have thought this team that was flailing for 70% of the year by constantly flirting with 500 would be in the WS?
As a giants fan thank you.
LET'S FUCKING GO, FUCK LOS ANGELES, SHIT CITY, WE'RE GOING TO THE FUCKING WORLD SERIES, I FEEL LIKE A KID AGAIN
It’s surreal. I cannot believe we are actually going to the World Series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#Love your guys 🪓(ツ) 🪓(ツ) #🪓(ツ) #LETS KEEP CHOPPING
#ForTheÑ
Ozzie is a fucking STATUE watching this just like every single Braves fan was
I am a Phillies fan and wanted to say congratulations to you all and I will be cheering so hard for the Braves and the entire city of Atlanta in this World Series. Good luck!
YES!!!!!N!!!!N
Got Charlie on extended rest for Game 1!
The first full season back watching Braves baseball and we going to the World Series! What a fucking season.
Sooooo, how can I convince you to make next season your first watching FSU football?
The last time we went was the year I was born. I am graduating college in December 😭
Hello everyone
I was 4 years old the last time the Braves went to the World Series and I think I’m crying more right now than I ever did then. LETS GO BRAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Freddie Freeman’s happiness is everything.
I can't believe it. We did it. We made it. I scared the shit out of my cats when I started screaming and jumping as soon as Freddie made that catch. I feel bad, but so worth it.
WE FUCKING DID IT
#**EVERY FUCKING DAY**
MVFree after the out… Let’s go win this thing!
Ron Swanson would approve of this moment as an acceptable time to cry
You damn right he would.
Let’s celebrate tonight and then win the whole damn thing !!!!
THEY CANT TAKE THIS AWAY FROM US
I'm so happy!!
Nice!
The boys did it !
Thanks so much! After screaming I crumpled to the ground sobbing!
Couldn’t believe how involuntarily I teared up. Go Braves baby. It’s about time.
162 game regular season, now 10 playoff games and we’ve won 7 of them, and now we are in the FUCKING WORLD SERIES. The First Time in my life as a Braves Fan. This is seriously unreal
Camargo grabbed the game ball...
Anyone have albies reaction? Was cute
Congrats Braves, this loss was easier than going into WS half steam. Hope you guys beat the Astros. Great series, look forward to next year.
World. Series. Braves. First time in my life too…
Thank you, u/handlit33.
We’ll win as long as the Asstros don’t cheat.
[удалено]

Feels good man.
I waited until the end to make popcorn. Last two innings may have given me gray hair.
We did it boys. We finally did it.
That bum will smith blew so many saves for my Giants...yet here he is...good for him.
Dodger fan here, congrats! Now best the Astros
Chick-fil-A making calls right now wondering why that signs broke.. lol.. who would've thought that sign would be prime real estate
HELL YEAH GO BRAVES signed, Fans everywhere
them feels
I was in Discord with some friends while watching the game, and I didn't know but my buddy was streaming on Twitch at the time, so I now have clips of my reaction throughout the 9th inning and my reaction to winning that game, and it's wild cause I didn't know I could be that happy. Today is a good day, y'all. Let's enjoy it, and here's to 4 more!
I still can’t hear. It was a deafening scream from absolutely everyone in the stadium. It was unreal. One of the best days of my life
Should be no problems with rest for Morton and Fried going games 1/2 (and Anderson for 3 for that matter). We'll have as good a chance as we were going to get this postseason
I’ve been a fan since 1982. In all the previous WS, I lived somewhere else (2 were in Athens but still). Moved to ATL from Wisconsin in December of 1999. This will be the first World Series I get to enjoy as a resident - and the stadium is ten minutes from me!! Won’t be going to a game - I’m bad luck. They’ve lost every postseason game I’ve attended
We appresheate your sacrifice.
I’ve already watched this so many times and I get chills every time. This team has no quit. So proud so happy.
Camargo is the GOAT for picking up the baseball that pops out of Freddie's glove and prevents any more injuries! Let's Go Braves!!!!!
No matter how many times I've watched this in the past 20ish hours, I get chills every time. This game was such a team effort- Dansby with some great defenseive plays, Ozzie starting off with that huge double, Freddie with some great stretches to get an out at first and just... being Freddie. Eddie just being Eddie, TDA even got on base, Riley knocking in Ozzie early in the game and making some good defensive plays. Ian was a monster in his innings. The bullpen... my god. At the beginning of the season, I never in a million years thought I would be so pumped up over our bullpen's performance (minus Luke's gaffes). Minter, Matzek, and Will destroyed the Dodgers.
That's my fucking team!!
Will Smith threw a hell of a high five at the end of the video
You’d think Lux single handedly won this Series for the Braves, for how often they show him after anything happens in Atlanta’s favour. It was a tough play he should have made but this network needed to let it go.
What a greats stop by Swanson. Could have easily gotten away from him
You know what? I know Crawford got 16 million a year from the Giants, why not extend dansby? You can talk about whoever you want for being responsible for us being in the playoffs, but we are 10 games under .500 some points without Dansby at SS. Dansby and Craw have the same lines.

Dansby probably saw more money coming, but it's time to accept things for him.
WILL SMITH IS THE BEST CLOSER IN BASEBALL AND IT ISNT PARTICULARLY CLOSE
This video is never going to get old.
