OTD in 1995, the @Braves would win their first World Series since relocating to Atlanta! Thanks to a solo home run from Via @MLB on X

What happened: Tom Glavine worked eight shutout innings and David Justice hit a solo home run on Oct. 28, 1995, to close out the six-game series for the Braves.

Why it matters: That victory delivered the franchise's breakthrough championship in Atlanta four years after falling 1-0 in extra innings in Game 7 of the 1991 World Series.

What to watch: Atlanta's front office now turns to the winter trade market, with shortstop and pitching depth in focus this offseason.
