Yep, you are correct. 1995 was the World Series Atlanta won. They
won games 1 and 2 in Atlanta, lost game 3 in Cleveland, won game 4
in Cleveland, lost game 5 in Cleveland, then came back to Atlanta in
game 6 and won that one to clinch.
Glavine pitched games 2 and game 6, so he pitched the clincher,
going 8 innings, giving up only 1 hit. (And was awarded the WS MVP
trophy afterward) The only run scored in game 6 was a solo homer by
David Justice. And Wohlers came on to save the game.
In other news, finally got to see the ESPY skit Glavine did. FUNNY
stuff. I thought all of them (Glav, Piazza, Pedro, Shilling) did a
really great job. None of them seemed too wooden in their acting or
anything. It was really great!
