1995 Season

The 1995 Season was late getting started, and the games were never made up (we'll do that later). Cleveland emerged as a dominant force in the AL, winning 100 games despite the shorter season (on a pace for 112 wins). They had to get past the Red Sox (14 games behind) and Mariners (21½ games behind) to get to the World Series. The Atlanta Braves returned to the top in the NL, but had to beat Colorado and Cincinnati to get to face Cleveland. Nevertheless, the two best teams made it all the way to the Series, won by Atlanta in 6 games.
