La temporada de las Grandes Ligas de 1995 fue la primera que se jugó bajo el formato de postemporada ampliado, ya que la Serie Divisional de la Liga (LDS) se jugó en las ligas nacional y estadounidense por primera vez. Sin embargo, debido a la huelga de las Grandes Ligas de 1994-95 que se prolongó hasta la temporada de 1995, el 25 de abril comenzó un calendario acortado de 144 juegos, cuando los Marlins de Florida fueron los anfitriones de los Dodgers de Los Ángeles .

Los Atlanta Braves se convirtieron en la primera franquicia en ganar campeonatos de la Serie Mundial en tres ciudades. Junto con su título de 1995, los Braves ganaron en 1914 como Boston Braves y en 1957 como Milwaukee Braves .

Temporada regular [ editar ]

Después de que terminó la temporada de 1994 debido a la huelga de los jugadores, todavía había un acuerdo por resolver. Sin embargo, no fue hasta que los dueños de las Grandes Ligas aprovecharon los planes de tener jugadores de reemplazo en 1995 que los jugadores entraron en negociaciones serias. Debido a la huelga, no hubo ningún campeón defensor oficial para el año. Sin embargo, las negociaciones retrasaron el inicio de la temporada hasta finales de abril, ya 18 partidos en la temporada regular.

A pesar de la huelga, que enajenó muchos aficionados, Baltimore Orioles campo corto Cal Ripken, Jr. superó a Lou Gehrig 's juegos consecutivos jugados racha cuando jugaba en su 2,131st partido consecutivo de septiembre  6. Juegos durante los playoffs fueron retransmitidas simultáneamente, lo que significa que los juegos se retransmitieron sólo a nivel regional. A pesar de las rarezas, la temporada de 1995 ahora se considera un éxito financiero donde los dos mejores equipos del béisbol (en sus ligas) se encontraron en la Serie Mundial, los Indios de Cleveland y los Bravos de Atlanta . Por primera vez desde 1954, los Indios fueron los representantes de la Liga Americana en la Serie Mundial. Esto vino poco después de dominar la Central de la Liga Americana (venciendo al segundo lugar Kansas City por 30 juegos).

Se encontraron con los Medias Rojas de Boston , que tenían al Jugador Más Valioso de la Liga Americana, Mo Vaughn (39 jonrones, 126 carreras impulsadas) y pudieron comenzar la serie en casa. Independientemente, Cleveland barrió a los Medias Rojas. Mientras tanto, en la otra serie de la ALDS entre Seattle y los Yankees , los Yankees tomaron una rápida ventaja de 2-0 en la serie en el Yankee Stadium , ganando el juego  2 en un jonrón de salida de la 15ª entrada de Jim Leyritz . Sin embargo, cuando la serie se trasladó a The Kingdome en Seattle, los Marineros, que habían regresado en 13 juegos a los Angelinos de California para forzar un desempate de un juego (en el que Randy Johnson obtuvo la victoria), los Marineros ganaron los juegos  3 y 4 Para hacer que un juego clásico  5, en el que los marinos regresaron tres veces para ganar en Edgar Martínez 's famosa doble que anotó Joey Cora y Ken Griffey, Jr. . En la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga Americana, los Marineros sorprendieron a los Indios al llevarse el juego  1, sin embargo, con el poder de los lanzadores Dennis Martínez y Orel Hershiser , los Indios lograron derrotar a Seattle en el 6.

En la NLDS, fue casi lo contrario a la serie Nueva York / Seattle. Los Rojos de Cincinnati , que se habían escapado con la Central de la Liga Nacional, barrieron a los Dodgers y los Bravos de Atlanta se llevaron ambos juegos contra Colorado en el Coors Field antes de que los Rockies finalmente ganaran un juego en el  tercer juego . en casa en el juego  4. Luego, en la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga Nacional, después de ganar ambos juegos en el Riverfront Stadium , los Bravos terminaron la barrida de los Rojos en casa.

En la Serie Mundial de 1995 , los Bravos se llevaron los dos primeros en casa contra Cleveland. Luego, durante los tres juegos en Jacobs Field , los Indios ganaron los juegos  3 y  5, pero esos juegos coincidieron con la victoria de los Braves 5-2 en el juego  4. En el juego  6, los Bravos, con el poder de un hit de un hit en 8 inning, lanzado por Tom Glavine y David Justice con un jonrón solitario en el sexto inning, ganaron 1–0 y ganaron la Serie Mundial. La victoria convirtió a los Bravos en el primer equipo en ganar la Serie Mundial en tres ciudades (Boston ( 1914 ), Milwaukee ( 1957 ) y Atlanta (1995)).
