British Soccer Fan Reacts to Atlanta Braves 2021 Season Mini Movie || "True Underdog Champions" 

As a Braves fan, I’m still not convinced it actually happened. It was like a movie. It was surreal and incredible.

One thing this particular video leaves out are the heroics of Tyler Matzek. Top of the 7th in game 6 of the NLCS, last pitcher let a run score without getting an out, putting runners on 2nd and 3rd with nobody out. Just about any hit ties the game, and a homer puts the Dodgers on top 5-4, and 2/3 of the next batters are MVPs. Then Tyler Matzek comes to the mound and stikes those next 3 batters out in a row, ending the scoring threat and preserving Atlanta's lead. As it turns out, that would be the last chance LA would get, as Matzek and closer Will Smith would retire the next 6 in order. Game, set, match. One of, if not THE most pivotal moment in the series, and arguably the postseason as a whole. Even better, Matzek performed at a similar level the entire postseason, allowing only 3 runs to score over 13 games the entire postseason. And to think that just 2 years ago he was in independent leagues after recovering from anxiety that was so bad that he couldn't even play catch from 5 feet away without experiencing the yips, and then went on to become the most trusted and reliable pitcher in Atlanta's bullpen. Of all the feel-good stories this season, Tyler Matzek's is easily one of the best.

The Atlanta Braves is my team. No team has had more postseason disappointments than us. So great to finally see them as World Champs

Fun fact about the Braves this year: Hank Aaron -- one of the best players of all time -who also played for the Braves -- wore jersey number 44. He also passed away at the start of the year. The Braves had 44 wins at the All Star Game, won 44 games during the second half the season, then won the World Series at the 44th week of the year.

That player that got hurt in right field(Acuña)is one of the best players in baseball. The Braves were already struggling when he went down. When that happened things seemed hopeless.

One thing to note when they say Rosario was "kind of a good player", he was the MVP of the NLCS against the Dodgers and was instrumental in the Braves winning it all. It was amazing to see.

Definitely not a Braves fan. You’ll have to search very deep inside of me to find this, but I respect them.

Braves fan here. It's been almost a month and I still can't believe it. Atlanta has a long history of having the rug pulled out from under us when it comes to sports. We're a city in need of championships and it feels incredible to finally get another one after all these years.

Check out some stuff about Charlie Morton in the World Series. Essentially broke his leg, finished the inning WENT BACK OUT for the next inning for I think 2 batters. Insane, and then to top it off he apologized to his teammates that he couldn’t go longer in the game!!

Go Braves! This is the second World Series win I’ve gotten to see. Great series.

Long time Braves fan here! I still get goosebumps when I watch this video. The city of Atlanta needed this win badly!

Answer to the question at the end: yes it still feels absolutely amazing. We went on an improbable postseason run for the ages, and as a die-hard fan nothing beats the feeling I had watching the World Series parade knowing we had won it all. The fact that we were underdogs made it all the sweeter.

Theres a difference in being a good hitter and a good home run hitter, there is way more to hitting than just hitting home runs, thats what the announcer meant when he said one was a pretty good hitter and the others were good home run hitters

25 years old. I’ve waited my WHOLE life for this moment. After trade deadline in august I told my grandpa “we’re gonna win the WS” 3 weeks later he passed away. I know he was watching and jumping up and down. The Braves have always been the butt of some of the greatest moments in MLB history. This city has been the butt of jokes. For this team this year to do it? Unreal. I’ll never forget it as long as I live

I have been a Braves fan since I was a kid (a long time ago) back in the Hank Aaron era. My dad used to take me to the games and I saw Aaron and many other Braves greats play. Hank Aaron passed this year before the season started. His number 44 was in the grass of the outfield all season. This World Series win was for him. People were saying that there were angels in the outfield during the playoffs, Hank Aaron, Phil Niekro, Mr. Bartholomay, and Don Sutton who passed away this year. Braves fans have waited for a long time for this. This is what it is all about. Honestly, I thought the season was over when we lost Acuna mid season, but I never stopped watching and hoping. Go Braves!

Braves fan here! Been for over 30 years now. There was a said “sports curse” over Atlanta. Only 2 championships out of the major 4 sports here(NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL) since 1966. The city had the biggest collapse in Super Bowl history, lost TWO NHL teams to other cities, and the Hawks have never made it to the finals in Atlanta. So needless to say, we are still feeling excellent over here. I was at game 6 of the NLCS this year, and when Rosario hit that 3 run home run, the place literally shook! I stood still and Truist Park was literally shaking!!!

One thing about Major League Baseball that is different than other sports is that it attracts the best players from all over the world. There are no leagues in other countries that even come close to the level of MLB. Japan, Korea, and Central America have good leagues but nothing like the MLB.

I'm from/in Atlanta!! Cheers mate! Go Braves!

Being an Atlanta fan this is something I never thought I would see, I know that sounds dramatic but something always happens to our teams in Georgia and to see it finally happen is remarkable. This Braves team played some of the best ball down the stretch and there was only like 3 games the entire postseason they couldn’t win, they were competitive in all the rest. What a great story for this team to beat the odds and win the whole thing! Go Braves!!

Any true braves, Falcons, Bulldogs fan knows heartache. That’s what makes winning so much sweeter. I waited 42 years for the Georgia Bulldogs and 27 for another Braves series. We’ve had so many championships that we could taste but just not close out. One thing about our fans though, is that we don’t give up on our teams. You are now an honorary member of Braves Country and DawgNation btw.

My Grandfather passed away in May. He was the biggest braves fan that I know. I love how they won this year of all years when everyone doubted them, that was for my Grandpa!

When they won that was the best day of my life, I had tears of joy coming out of my eyes when that happened

I'm a Georgia lady and I am so proud of the Atlanta Braves!!! My granddad watched the braves every game and he passed away before they won their first World Series, so I hope he watched from Heaven his team winning their 2nd World Series.

I’ve been watching Braves baseball since I was six years old in 1982. Being swept up in the momentum and excitement of the second half of the season and playoffs is one of the magical times of my life. We now live ten minutes from the stadium, and getting to walk with my kids down our streets to see the victory parade is a moment I’ll never forget (Braves player Joc Pederson sprayed a beer all over my wife and four year old son - but it’s all in good fun)

It’s March of 2022 and as a huge, die hard Braves fan, it feels like it was a movie, and that it wasn’t reality. When that last out put in history forever, I was on my couch, stunned. I couldn’t speak, it didn’t feel real. This journey the Braves have been on has not ended.#BringItBack!!!

I’ve been a fan for all 16 years of my life and I went to games since I was two years old. I was at Game 2 and Game 6 of the NLCS. I have no words to describe how exhilarating it was to be there. The excitement in the air was beyond expectation. When we got the final out of Game 6 I was holding the flag I brought to the game high and proud. I cried when we won the World Series.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THIS

Born and raised in Atlanta. Braves fan all my life. I will always get chills seeing that final out. I'm in tears right now wishing my grandfather was still here to see it. Great reaction.

I was born and raised in Atlanta been a braves fan all my life just proud of my braves forever and always

I have waited 26 years for this moment I'm a fan since 1990 and I've seen so many heart breaking seasons 💔 and they won on my 45 birthday how awesome is that 💙 👏 ❤

44 wins at the all star break. 44 more wins, won them everything. After losing the all time great #44 during the season, there’s no way he didn’t give us his blessing from above. CHOP ON FOR LIFE

Rosario, the player they dubbed an "ok" player, was the NLCS MVP and broke a team record for hits in a series. Praying my Braves re-sign him. Loved the video. Will def be watching more

As a Braves fan, this is the best feeling I will ever have in my life. I wasn’t alive for our last championship in 1995, and this was is so different. So much prior playoff failure, and Freddie Freeman, the soul and spirit of our team since 2011, finally has his ring. This is a beyond resilient bunch, and I will never take it for granted

When it showed Rosario hit for the cycle, that means he got a single, double, triple, and home run, all in the same game. Those are very rare. But the amazing thing is he did it in just 5 pitches. That has probably never been nor ever will be done again.

Atlanta Braves fan here. No team from Atlanta (not just the Braves) has won a championship since 1995. This was huge for the city and the state of all these teams. The trades made were for guys with high upside but their downside is low and they played well. I went to 4 of the games, I will never forget this run and moment in my life

Red Sox fan here, I'm really happy for you Braves fans!! Well deserved championship. Fighting till the end, I fu*king love it. Well done lads

As a Braves fan, I absolutely sobbed watching this. Thank you for reacting and posting! It didn't show that Soler got COVID and didn't play in the NLCS, when "kind of a good player" Rosario came in for him and was the MVP of the the NLCS. Then Soler was able to come back for the World Series, and was the MVP.

Braves fan since 1969...yep, I'm that old. I have been lucky enough to have Seen the Braves win it all twice,1995 and 2021. This year was BY FAR more exciting because it was unexpected after Acuna Jr. Was lost. My Clemson Tigers are having an off year, so the Braves filled in nicely. Enjoy your show

I'm a lifetime Atlanta braves fan it's been 26 years and it feels amazing.

I was at that game where St. Louis was up 10-0 after 1 inning. By the 2nd inning, I had the entire row of seats to myself as everyone had left. Our hopes were dashed quickly. Last year, we lost the 3-1 series lead. It was at that point where I was resigned to the fact that failure was our destiny. I didn't think I'd ever see another championship again in my lifetime. When that final out was made, and our franchise player caught that ball at 1st base to end it, I couldn't begin to describe the feeling that came over me. I still can't describe it. The Braves fans had suffered for so long. They deserved a season and an ending like this. We may not ever win another title, but it will not matter to me. This will stick in my mind for as long as I live.

I love how excited this man is going on into this video. Just shows how special this year was for Atlanta

I love that they put that part in the video where he said Rosario was just an alright player. Then he went on to be probably the most pivotal player for us during the playoffs especially in the later rounds and the world series.

I’ve been a Braves fan since 2003. Watching the Braves in the World Series was the greatest moment of my life (having my kids is number one though). I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. The best story of the Braves here.

My best friend was the biggest Braves fan I’ve ever met and sadly, we lost him back in August. So seeing the Braves pull through and win it after that was beyond what words can describe

Braves winning was the worst possible result for the MLB Commissioner. Made him look like an idiot.

Bro as a life-long die-hard Braves fan, I LOVE this video man. The fact that you don’t know much about baseball and still can watch this and understand the energy that was in that stadium these playoffs is incredible.

I've been an ATL Braves Fan since birth. Still remember the 1995 world series. 26 years since then. Braves Country (called Braves Country because ATL, GA has the only MLB team in the South, except for Florida) has been dying for this. PARTY LIKE IT'S 1995!!!

As a braves fan it still blows my mind we managed to pull it off hats off to our general manager Alex Anthopoulos for risking a lot and going out before the trade deadline and picking up Duvall, Pederson, Rosario, and Soler without those 4 players I dont even think we would of made the playoffs

As a lifelong Braves fan I enjoyed the pure reactions but the mini movie left out an absolutely vital moment in this run from the 7th inning of game 6 in the NLCS vs the Dodgers with Tyler Matzek striking out the side with two on no outs and it was with relative ease too. Seasons past that type of inning has always turned into heartbreak but Matzek delivered maybe one of the best relief appearances ever.

Been a Braves fan all my life and seeing them win the world series and then Georgia win the college football national championship in the same year still seems unreal... Unbelievable feeling of joy

Go Braves! My son died in an accident before they took the Series. When they fought hard and won, my knees buckled and I was bawling. My son’s celebration of life was all Braves theme, everybody wore their jerseys. My son always wore 44 for Hank Aaron. I purchased a Braves urn that levitated a Braves helmet above it.....like magic. RIP Nic....and I think you made this Series win happen from above❤️ saying hello from Atlanta GA

Watching this in December and still loving and remembering this. It was a beautiful moment and so happy for my city.

I’m in tears how much this means to me I wish my dad was still here to enjoy this with me.

I still can't believe it, this was truly awesome. Great for the state of Georgia and city of Atlanta, and all the BRAVES fans around the world. GO BRAVES AMERICA'S TEAM!!!!

Man I've watched that video 100 times, I'm a diehard Braves fan. I was 8 the last time they won the WS, I'm 34 now. It's been a long time coming. I think I was more excited to see your reaction to the video than I was watching the video myself.

Braves have been my team since a kid and getting to go to many games a year this year was MAGICAL BY FAR!!!! Thanks for taking the time to watch this!!! Gooooooooo BRAVESSSS!!!!!!

Everything sounds so much more classy with a British accent. As a GIGANTIC Braves fan I love listening to this guy talk about a team I love so much

For extra context, at 6:17 that was our pitcher who got a hit for the walkoff win 😆. They ran out of bench bats and had to use the pitcher as a replacement

as a braves fan, i get chills every single time i watch the mini movie. CURSE BROKE

been a Braves fan since 1996 finally got to see them win a World Series

I've been an Atlanta Braves fan since 1980. And I'm not even from there. It was a family love for this team. Each time, each year, with every new team they had proved why we loved them so much throughout the years.

Still can’t believe we won. I’m still pinching myself. All of the teams in our city seem to always fall apart in the playoffs. So to see how they kept fighting was amazing!

Life long Braves fan, I was 9 when they won it in 1995. Watching those highlights (I’m not ashamed to say) just about brings me to tears. Man, just so much joy for a fan base that had waited so long to reclaim the crown!

I was born in 95 which was when they last won the World Series. I grew up in New Jersey but it was while the Braves were always on TBS so I started watching and following them. To have my heart broken in 2013, 2018, 2019, and 2020 (the last one while i was deployed) was so painful but to finally see them go all the way, I still get goosebumps and tears watching this. It's been over a month since it happened but my boys are still the champs! #ChopOn #GoBraves

At least 10 times watching that video, I tear up every time, still doesn’t even feel real!!

As Braves fan since at young age. Because me and both of my papaws love the Braves like I do. I know they was in heaven smiling when they won. When they they won it in 95 I was 4 going on 5. This World Series means so much because all the heartbreak they have had in years past. I was so happy they won. Go Braves

The last time the Braves won the World Series was in 1995. I wasn’t alive yet. I’ve watched the Braves ever since I can remember. The good, the bad, and the ugly. To watch this team (who by the way had a 0.3% chance to win it all at the all star break) come back against all odds and win it all is pure euphoria! I watched every inning of the Braves post season! Even at work when I wasn’t supposed to! Lol. I still get chills watching the mini movie and all the other videos! It’s especially nice to see someone from another country reacting to this! Thank you for posting this!

Lifelong Braves fan and I'm glad you got to enjoy the hype we felt this entire season, the biggest highs from the lowest lows. The pure sport definition of an underdog was this season. Don't even know if it has properly set in that we are champs for me. Started watching the team as a kid back in the '80s. Backstory is during the 90s we had one of the most successful teams in Major League baseball but we only managed to win one World Series that entire time. We won our division a record 14 consecutive seasons. And then the team got bad for a few years. Managed to rebuild everything and got back to winning the division again 4 years in a row but there was always this thought that we weren't going to win the whole thing, just have a good regular season team again that occasionally wins some games in the postseason. What you saw in this video was the culmination of that whole process and for us longer-term fans the payoff for years of loyalty.

I can never be mad at these boys ever again. They gave me someone the best feelings and emotions I’ve ever experienced!

Cried the rest of the night. Was an amazing run. Probably one of the best in mlb history. Love my braves. Congrats from chiraq killinois

As a life long Braves fan, the ups, the downs. It's incredible. It's been a heartbreaking road but it's been traveled and conquered. Go Braves!

Born and raised about 60 miles east of Atlanta, GA and I’ll tell you 💯 percent it feels surreal still my friend. When I was a youngster I watched the Braves when the pennant. It feels magnificent to see the Atlanta Braves World Series Champions again 😁😁😁😁

First the Braves then Georgia both Champions believe me it feels unreal like it didn't happen even though it's been months since it did. Go Braves FOREVER!

One really insane thing about this season. Hank Aaron was an all time baseball great and a Brave. Served as the Braves Vice President of Operations for many years and just passed away. He wore number 44. The Braves won 44 games before the All Star break, 44 game after the All Star Break, and won the World Series on the 44th week of the year.

These guys have inspired me beyond words. Witnessing every home playoff game in person was something I will never forget.

I'm in Atlanta and has been a Braves fan all my life. A month after winning it all, I am still on Cloud 9. I love it. Truly an extraordinary and amazing season for the Braves. I love wearing my Braves World Series Champions memorabilia. Thanks so much for doing this reaction. Now time for you to join the ranks and become a Braves fan as well! LOL!

In case you don't know, to hit for the Cycle means to get a single, double, triple and a Home Run in the SAME GAME..

Probably one of the most pure world series ever , so clean 😍

Became a Braves/MLB fan in 1998 in Los Angeles watching them on TBS…finally after 23 years I get to see them be the best team in the world

I love this…being British, I can assume baseball doesn’t hit as hard to you as it does an American….but seeing the excitement this video brought you is a breath of fresh air baseball desperately needs! I’d also like to point out we lost our ace pitcher in Mike Soroka, our all star right fielder in Acuna, our catcher for 60 games, our silver slugging left fielder Ozuna, and our up and coming stud rookie center fielder. The resiliency this team showed this year is a story in itself! #chopon

Atlanta native and lifelong Braves fan here. I'm only just now really getting my voice back. Straight up rollercoaster.

The Braves only won the National League East because the Mets sunk faster than a concrete slab dumped into the ocean.

After years of trying. Years of disappointment we are finally the World Series Champions

5:05 “He’s an okay player” *Wins NLCs mvp*

As a Dodger fan it was definitely a tough series to lose, injuries and fatigue really set in. But respect to the Braves, they played better, and got the job done. Also was good to see ex-Dodger Joc get another ring👌

I've been an Atlanta Braves fan my whole life (41yrs old), and I've seen them win 2 world series championships. Both times they were the underdog!

After watching them my whole life, words can't describe how I feel, I got louder than that crowd

I'm a HUGE Braves fan. I have to admit I shed a tear of excitement when they won the World Series. Such jubilation after decades of disappointment. I'm still in shock. I was at the NLCS game they won to get to the World Series. By far the best crowd I've been apart of. Love the video. If you have any baseball questions about the MLB I know way more than the average guy. Baseball is my #1 sport. Keep up the great vids!

I'm a Dodger fan and it hurt to lose but at least we lost to the champions. Thank you Braves for beating the Astros.

I watched every game...every play...there was nothing like this team. Pederson, Freeman, Swanson,Albies...there was nothing like this for years in the city of Atlanta. Acuna went down and 8 other guys stood up and answered the call. The pitching staff stood up, the infield hit the ball like nothing I've ever seen and the crowds...just lifted this team like nothing I've ever seen. I literally wept after the series. These boys EARNED the title of champions. It was like living a day dream. I love sports. I love Atlanta. I loved this year.

Never in a million lifetimes would I have believed my Braves would win the World Series last year. 2 decades of being good but not good enough and gut-wrenching losses in the playoffs made me numb to winning it all when it happened. It’s been nearly 3 months and I can’t stop watching replays of the players’ reactions and all the runs scored and the biggest highlights. It’s finally hitting me how unbelievable it was to witness and I could not be more proud of those guys. The love in that clubhouse carried them beyond any “talent gap” that the media wanted to portray between them and the teams with better records. The All Star game was taken away from the Atlanta community over political reasons that should never have impacted a decision like that, and the GREATEST Brave ever, Hank Aaron, passed away before the season. For the 2021 Atlanta Braves to turn what could have been the most demoralizing year for the organization into winning the whole damn thing brings a deluge of tears to my eyes. What a ride

What a team to represent a fan base! A month on I still get goosebumps thinking about what our guys accomplished and how they did it. Hyped and never coming down!

I've been a Braves fan ever since 1983 when Dale Murphy and Bob horner and I've been covering with the Atlanta braves through the 90s and I'm so happy this year they won the World series

Magical run by my Braves!! Thanks for sharing this moment as I will never forget my emotions when we won it! So much talent on this team, and they will be in the thick of the conversation this year also. I look forward to another great season and possibly, another championship! Truist park will be lit this year!! Go Braves!

Been a huge sports fan my entire life. I have vague memories of them winning it in 95. This was the only championship a team I am a fan of has won that I have been able to actively take in. I’ll never forget it

I was at the watch party inside Truist Park with all of my friends from college with thousands of others even when they were all the way in Houston. The way I felt when Dansby threw out Gurriel for the last out to win the whole thing was a feeling I’ll never get again. I love my Braves!!

The atmosphere for the playoff games are unreal, there's no words to describe it especially being there in person

Lifelong Braves fan here, and I'm watching this in the middle of December. It still gives me goosebumps. Lol. Great video 🤝🙏

The Braves are now two time champions. Their 1995 and 2021 World Series trophies, plus Atlanta United's 2018 MLS Cup, are the only major league sports Championships the city has won. There are also championships in Lacrosse and minor league hockey.

Being from Atlanta and only a Braves fan, and you understand the years of the past. It was a fantastic year. The last home run by solier you need to watch it, he hit it out of the PARK! Was a great year for the Braves we the fans and the people of Atlanta appreciate the video
