Sept. 1991: Recalling a special Braves moment

Sept. 8, 1991

The situation: The Braves claimed a 7-5 comeback win against the New York Mets on this date. The Braves had fallen behind 4-0 in New York but came back behind the bats of David Justice and Brian Hunter. Starting pitcher Tom Glavine settled and the club completed a three-game sweep at Shea Stadium to keep the Braves one-half of a game behind the division-leading Los Angeles Dodgers. The Braves went on to win 18 of their next 26 games to win the division and complete the worst-to-first season.

The quote: "If we would have blown this series we would have come home a couple of games out. There is a lot of life to this club right now; it's a lot of fun.'' — Second baseman Mark Lemke after the comeback victory in New York.
