1999 World Series, Game 4: Braves @ Yankees 

It was a glorious time, before 9/11 or the world went crazy... what a time to be alive and at these games.

These were the glory days of old. Nothing was better than New York dominating baseball and the Red Sux bowing its lowly head to the greatness of the Yankees.

LOVED these Yankee teams from 96-2001. Was the mecca of baseball

The standing ovation for Roger always gives me the chills..he pitched a great game and deserved it..he was always hated by the Yankees and their fans, but on this night, he was a Yankee and was our pitcher for the clincher...He was a gamer and a work horse, so he was a great fit for the Yankees at that time...

Greatest Dynasty 1996-2001 New York Yankees!!!!!⚾️

the new york yankees world champions team of the decade most successful franchise of the century

What a way to finish baseball for the 20th century

The last game ever with the AL and NL umpires. I hated when they dissolved the leagues as separate entities.

The last World Series on NBC.

Yankees showed why they are sports most dominant team of century

As a Braves fan, we didn’t stand a chance that year. The NLCS was a bear, and the Yankees were stacked. I wasn’t even pissed off.

Top 10 films of 1999: 10. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (New Line Cinema) 9. American Beauty (DreamWorks) 8. The World is Not Enough (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) 7. Notting Hill (Universal Pictures) 6. The Mummy (Universal Pictures) 5. Tarzan (Disney) 4. The Matrix (Warner Bros. Pictures/Village Roadshow Pictures) 3. Toy Story 2 (Disney/Pixar) 2. The Sixth Sense (Hollywood Pictures) 1. Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (LucasFilm/20th Century Studios)

The last game with the AL and NL as separate entities. I wish the leagues still had separate presidents and control of their own umpire crews.

I was at this game. Best day of my 53 year old life.

The difference between Bob Costas and Joe Buck is that Costas genuinely loved/enjoyed covering baseball. Joe Buck seems to only be in it for the money and "prestige" of being able to cover baseball's biggest events. Basically, Buck doesn't seem to have as much passion or reverence as Costas during his heyday. What makes things even worse, is that Joe Buck has been the de facto national TV voice of MLB (not counting cable outlets like ESPN & TBS) since at least, the late '90s.

Funny, Costas proclaimed after the Braves won in 1995 the team of the decade. Oh how a difference of 4 years and 3 titles changed who the team of the 90's was.

1996 Yankees 4-2, 1998 Yankees 4-0, 1999 Yankees 4-0, 2000 Yankees 4-1...Yankees are the supreme rulers of MLB...

Yankees were awesome all the time i still like Yankees to this day.

Yankees are so important to baseball and sports..team of the century well deserved....

This was a very good Yankees team. One of my favorite teams

Bob Costas better than Buck

Wow, a world series games that goes just over 2 hours? Today, this game would go 3 hours minimum

Atlanta's last hope is Keith Lockheart....That's a sentence a Braves fan never wants to hear lol

I really miss the original Mlb on fox theme between 1996-2009

I am far from a fan of Bob Costas but I cannot deny he is very good at baseball play by play. He does an excellent job.

I remember when Pauly lost his pops prior to this win Must of been tough being a world champ and then having to bury your dad in a day or so Yankees i grew up on... Been alive for (5)

Aw, I feel bad for Paul :(

Smoltz’ tailing fastball/cutter? That pitch that moves in to lefties then sweeps down the middle of the plate is such a beautiful pitch.

The Yankees were the team of the 1999 season, 1990's decade and the 20th century!

its 2023....this is still awesome

I was there. Somebody offered me $600 in cash for my ticket on my way in. No thanks. I wouldn’t know now where the $600 went if I’d sold it. But I know now that I was there.

Honestly, seeing Roger touch the Babe Ruth memorial in the beginning nearly made me cry, that place was always "The house that Ruth built". So many great things happened at that stadium, and they tore it down. At least they built the new one literally across the street.

Imagine sweeping two consecutive world series opponents. What a buzzsaw

Chuck Knoblauch. Damn I feel old already.

Roger Clemens went from being hated by all Yankees fans to being our hero and finally getting the first of his 2 World series rings, but he is still a prick..even though he was our prick....we loved him this night for winning it for us..

Tino Martinez's decisive two-run single @ 0:47:59 Last home run of the 20th century by Jim Leyritz @ 2:07:49 top of the ninth @ 2:11:32

And Joe Morgan saying that the '99 club was a "much sounder ballclub" than the team that won 114 games the year prior is just hilarious, I mean, how in the world do you actually downplay the accomplishments of the '98 team, in any way, when they were a World Series winner and had 114 wins? The only difference is they were 11-2 in the playoffs, not 11-1.

Keep dreaming TolitoGangster. World Championships > League Pennants, Division titles, playoff appearances, total games won in a decade.

One of my favorite games ever

Ah the better of the Boone boys…yet everyone remembers Aaron because that insane 11th inning first pitch walk off homer in game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. I remember where I was and who I was with on that one.

YANKEES 100% RULE...The Empire is and will rise again....This team was second best to 1998, but still amazing..

morgan..yankees have an underrated pitching staff..wtf cone,el duque pettitte and clemens in the 4 games

Even when watching this, I kind of felt that NBC was one foot out the door w/ their MLB coverage following the failure of the Baseball Network joint venture from 1994-95. They didn't broadcast any regular season games what so ever from 1996-2000. By 1999, I tried to make a consciousness decision to tape record as many NBC MLB broadcasts (I felt bad that I was too young to really appreciate the "glory days" w/ Vin Scully and company during the '80s) as possible.

Was this Greg Maddux or Roger Clemens? I counted 17 ground balls. 17 grounders, 2 pop-ups, his last pitch was a single over short for the only hit to the outfield. 4 Ks. He was playing hurt most of the season with his groin & hamstring so he didn't have his high velocity, but went to his 2 seamer & splitter for grounders. Dude wanted to win that clincher.

I liked it better when The MLB was on NBC and ABC. The MLB being on Fox is a joke just like With The NBA being on ESPN is a joke i wish it was still on NBC or better yet NBC and CBS should both have the NBA package. just like The NFL when they it was CBS and NBC and ABC covering The NFL. it was a whole lot better for everybody.

we are the champions

I think Costas is one of the VERY BEST PLAY BY PLAY ANNOUNCERS OF ALL TIME!! ESPECIALLY IN BASEBALL ⚾️

Goooooo Yankees.

Man, I miss NBC's postseason theme

Yankees de nueva york champion mlb 1999

The last World Series game that was on NBC. The following year FOX had it and have ever since.

I was there!....Upper Deck - shallow right field

Nah TolitoGangster, you're just jealous at the Yankees for taking the Braves' crown as team of the 1990s decade. Even when a comet or asteroid hits Planet Earth, it still won't change the fact the Yankees are the team of the 1990s with three World Championships to the Braves one. So, keep throwing insults, it still won't change. Yankees 3 World Championships in the 1990s > 1 Braves World Championship in the 1990s.

Knoblauch was amazing in his first 8 seasons. He didn’t have a long career but in his time he managed 44 WAR. That’s crazy.

Yeah i love watching videos that have over 40 ads. Holy shit

2:19:25 he slaps the camera man away hahaha

Boy, That kid Jeter is going to be good...

It's a crime that they tore down the old Yankee Stadium

2:16:58 The difference between the Braves and Yankees. Chipper Jones acting as chipper as can be, laughing it up while his team was on the verge of being swept. If the Yankees were on the verge of being swept, I assure you there'd be NO laughing or joking in the dugout and if there was King George would've crushed them. That's the difference between a cheap, under achieving franchise that GREATLY benefited from two pitchers getting consistent strikes called a foot out of the strike zone for their entire careers and the greatest franchise in the history of professional sports. Men against boys. Funny how Maddox and Glavine were nothing special in the playoffs when the umps started calling it correctly. Yeah, I'll go ahead and say what most people already know but would never say. Neither Glavine OR Maddox would've been even remotely close to the HOF without the benefit of umpires calling absolutely ridiculous, insane, outside pitches that extra long bats couldn't hit if they tried for their entire careers. Maddox would've at least been a serviceable Major League pitcher but Glavine would've been nothing more than a guy who'd go out to throw a Home Run Derby during the All Star Break. A Maddox or Glavine strike was defined anywhere from 2 inches off the plate to the on deck circle. Out of all the instances of cheating in sports history, nothing tops the absolute BS of Glavine/Maddox of the 90's. They didn't even deserve to win ONE World Series in the 90's.

Clemens earned his stripes in this game....

Just entertaining, well-played baseball.

Does anyone have the theme music NBC used during this series and the 1999 NLCS which they also broadcast between the Braves and Mets?

That is why the Braves won more than anyone in the 90s,that is why they did win the World Series Championship

This is the last World Series NBC would broadcasting which is too bad because I think their coverage exceeds what FOX gives. I would rather listen to Joe Morgan and Bob Costas than I would listen to John Smoltz and Joe Buck although I am a Braves fan, Their duo works better for me because Joe Buck sounds like a college professor giving a lecture while Bob's passion for the game keeps my attention. Watching baseball on FOX is painfully boring while NBC keeps it real.

Why won’t MLB sell these in a DVD with the radio broadcast included

Back to back to back

there should be a game 3 of this series on youtube

nbc is always the best station for baseball and basketball

Costas had to do one hell of a 180 when he said "team of the decade:, considering what his call was after the Braves won the World Series in 1995.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE TEAMS EVER THE 1999 NEW YORK YANKEES

When Yankees Were Yankees.

Costas says team of the 90s is the braves and then Yankees are the team of the decade ?

Actually viju patel, TheMxcnut describes which team has the most or tied for the most World Championships in every decade since the World Series was implemented in 1903. The Reds won two in the 1970s with the Big Red Machine tied with the Pirates and Yankees, but the Oakland Athletics won 3 in that decade.

2:17:35 final out

The Yankees broke the Braves tomahawk!

The Atlanta Braves will always be the team of the 90s. In the regular season they had a winning record against every MLB team and they had a winning record against every team in both leagues since interleague play began that decade. The Braves had a winning record against every team including the Yankees, Blue Jays and Marlins. Yes they lost to some of those same teams in the playoffs but the Braves won the 1995 World Series and they won the most games overall. The Atlanta Braves dominated the sport of baseball for 14 seasons and won a World record 14 division championships. The Atlanta Braves are and always will be the team of the 90s! In the history books of sports that is their nickname and not the Yankees. The Braves were just better but the Yankees were at best the team of the late 90s but the for the whole decade the Braves dominated the sport.

The yakees are the monster of the baseball

I don't entirely understand that because when NBC covered the GOTW from 1976-1989, ABC covered regular season games via Monday night and later Thursday night (in 1989) games as well as Sunday afternoon games in the the latter part of the season.

2:07:48

I might've NOT liked the Yankees back then (and still don't like the Yankees to this day), but I loved that old Yankee Stadium home run siren. XD

So Clemens gets a lot of hate. But steroids weren’t banned by MLB until 2005. So can we please get this guy in Cooperstown where he belongs already? If Mike Mussina got in surely Rocket deserves a plaque? (Not dissing Mussina either BTW, just saying…)

atlanta can't escape the evil empire! 96, 99 yankees and 2016 patriots! making the atlanta sports fans miserable! xD

1:52:00 How could they have gotten this call wrong? Never mind timing: the fact that the runner steps on Clemmens' leg means that his leg is evidently already across the bag. He's OUT!

Actual teams per decade... 1900s - Cubs(2 WS wins) 1910s - Red Sox (4 WS wins) 1920s - Yankees (3 WS wins) 1930s - Yankees (5 WS wins) 1940s - Yankees (4 WS wins) 1950s - Yankees (6 WS wins) 1960s - Yankees, Cardinals, Dodgers (2 WS wins each) 1970s - Athletics (3 WS wins) 1980s - Dodgers (2 WS wins) 1990s - Yankees (3 WS wins) 2000s - Yankees and Red Sox (2 WS wins) Where's the Braves in this list? Nowhere to be found.

The yanks should use that crowd noise again… The one that goes “we ohh, wee ohh!”

como se llama la canción que se escucha cuando roger clemens esta calentando?

this is the last ws game on NBC

I honestly thought at the time the Braves would've put up a MUCH better fight...or am I crazy?

I think Yankee fan means, the last title celebrated at home in the old Yankee Stadium.

Wow, an Atlanta Braves fan still in la-la land. Um TolitoGangster, did the Braves win more titles than the Yankees in the 1990s? Nope. Did they win the most titles in any decade since the World Series was implemented in 1903? Nope. You need to see a shrink.

Clemens wasn’t that great his first year in pinstripes. He was fair. He got back to his dominant self in the middle of 2000. He pitched that dominate game vs Seattle in 2000 playoffs when he struck out 15 or so batters. And he won the Cy Young in 2001. He pitched a great game 7.vs Schilling in 2001 WS but Mariano couldn’t hold it.

Bob Costas, you should know better than to call anything from 1999 the last one of the century!

You're very welcome.

The yakees are the best team ever in history of the baseball

Bob Costas, 2000 was the last year of the 20th century. Not 1999.

Hope World Series come back to NBC in 2014

That thumbnail picture is the ultimate spoiler Poor Paul O'Neill couldn't even really celebrate

It's fun to go through these late 90's, early 2000's games and try and figure out who was on steroids. If we only knew then what we know now.......

yes new York

And the Yankees would go on again to win the World Series in 2000 and 2009 while the Braves would never see another World Series in fact they would lose the NLCS in 2001 and lose the first round NLDS in 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and then in Bobby Cox's final season in 2010.
