The 1995 Major League Baseball postseason was the playoff tournament of Major League Baseball for the 1995 season. This was the first postseason to be played under the expanded format, as the League Division Series (LDS) was played in both the American and National leagues for the first time since 1981. The league was expanded to three divisions per league, and a new Wild Card berth was added. The next expansion would be in 2012 where another Wild Card berth would be added. The winners of the LDS moved on to the League Championship Series to determine the pennant winners that face each other in the World Series.

This was the first postseason to take place since the 1994–95 MLB strike.

In the National League, the Atlanta Braves returned to the postseason for the fourth consecutive year, the Cincinnati Reds returned for the first time since 1990, the Los Angeles Dodgers made their first appearance since 1988, and the Colorado Rockies, just two years into their existence, made the postseason for the first time ever.

In the American League, the New York Yankees returned to the postseason for the first time since 1981, and this was the first of thirteen consecutive appearances for the Yankees from 1995 to 2007. The Cleveland Indians ended over four decades of futility and made their first postseason appearance since the 1954 World Series, and this was the first of five consecutive postseason appearances for the Indians. The Boston Red Sox made their fourth appearance in the past ten years, and the Seattle Mariners made the postseason for the first time in franchise history.

The postseason began on October 3, 1995, and ended on October 28, 1995, with the Braves defeating the Indians in six games to win their first championship in Georgia, and their first overall since 1957. It was the Braves' third title in franchise history.

Tony Peña would win Game 1 for the Indians with a walk-off home run in the bottom of the thirteenth inning. Orel Hershiser and the Cleveland bullpen kept the Red Sox offense silent in Game 2 as the Indians won 4–0 to take a 2–0 series lead headed to Fenway Park. The Indians then blew out the Red Sox in Game 3 to complete the sweep.

Both teams would meet again in the ALDS in 1998, 1999 and 2016, as well as the 2007 ALCS, with the Red Sox winning in 1999 and their 2007 championship season, and the Indians winning in 1998 and 2016.

This was the first postseason series ever played in the Pacific Northwest. It was also the first postseason meeting between the Mariners and Yankees. The Mariners overcame an 0–2 series deficit to defeat the Yankees in five games and advance to the ALCS for the first time in franchise history.

In the first postseason series played in the Bronx in 14 years, the Yankees prevailed in an offensive duel in Game 1, 9–6, and then took Game 2 after fifteen innings of play to go up 2–0 in the series headed to Seattle. The Mariners won their first playoff game in franchise history with a 7–4 victory in Game 3. Game 4 was a slugfest which the Mariners won 11–8 to force a fifth game. In Game 5, the Mariners rallied in the bottom of the eighth inning to tie the game and send it into extra innings, which was then capped off by Edgar Martinez's series-winning double in the eleventh inning of Game 5, known as "The Double" in Mariners' baseball lore.

The Mariners and Yankees would meet again in the 2000 and 2001 ALCS, with the Yankees winning both series.

Chipper Jones won Game 1 on the road for the Braves with a solo home run in the top of the ninth. In Game 2, the Rockies led 4-3 going into the bottom of the ninth, but the Braves would take the lead and the Rockies surrendered two more runs thanks to an error by Eric Young Sr., which gave the Braves a 2–0 series lead headed back home. Young would redeem himself in Game 3, as he and Vinny Castilla hit a pair of home runs to give the Rockies their first playoff victory in franchise history. The Braves then closed out the series with a blowout win in Game 4.

This would be the last postseason appearance by the Rockies until 2007, where they went on a Cinderella run to the World Series.

Jeff Brantley ended a late rally by the Dodgers in Game 2 as the Reds held on to win 5–4 to take a 2–0 series lead headed back home. David Wells pitched six solid innings and the Reds’ offense overwhelmed National League Rookie of the Year Hideo Nomo in a blowout win in Game 3 to complete the sweep.

To date, this is the last time the Reds won a playoff series. The Dodgers returned to the postseason the next year, but were swept by the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS.

The Mariners took Game 1 thanks to an RBI double from Luis Sojo. Orel Hershiser pitched eight solid innings as the Indians evened the series in Game 2. In Cleveland for Game 3, the Mariners won thanks to a three-run home run from Jay Buhner in the top of the eleventh. Ken Hill pitched seven innings of shutout baseball as the Indians blew out the Mariners in Game 4 to even the series. Hershiser improved his postseason record to 7–0 in Game 5 as the Indians took a 3–2 series lead headed back to Seattle. Game 6 was a pitchers duel between Cleveland’s Dennis Martínez and Seattle’s Randy Johnson, which would be won by the former as the Indians won 4–0 to secure their first league pennant in 41 years.

The Indians and Mariners would meet again in the postseason in 2001, with the Mariners defeating the Indians in five games in the ALDS. The Indians would win the pennant again in 1997 over the Baltimore Orioles in six games.

The Mariners would return to the postseason in 1997, but they would lose to the Orioles in the ALDS. This was the first of three consecutive losses in the ALCS for the Mariners - they returned to the ALCS in 2000 and 2001, losing both to the New York Yankees.

The Braves swept the Reds to return to the World Series for the third time in five years (in the process preventing an all-Ohio World Series from taking place).

In Game 1, the Reds took the lead in the fourth inning off an RBI single from Ron Gant, but lost it as David Justice scored a run to send the game into extra innings. Mike Devereaux then scored an RBI single in the top of the eleventh to put the Braves in the lead for good. Game 2 also went into extra innings as Lenny Harris hit an RBI single and Jeff Branson stole home plate to tie the game for the Reds. However, the Reds imploded yet again as in the top of the tenth, Mark Lemke stole home plate off a wild pitch, and Javy López hit a three-run home run to give the Braves a 6–2 victory headed to Atlanta. Game 2 was the last postseason game ever played at Riverfront Stadium. Greg Maddux pitched eight solid innings in Game 3 as the Braves won 5–2 to go up three games to none. In Game 4, Steve Avery and the Braves’ bullpen silenced Cincinnati’s offense as the Braves won 6–0 to complete the sweep.

This would be the last postseason appearance by the Reds until 2010, where they were swept by the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLDS. To date, this is the last postseason appearance outside of the Divisional Round for the Reds. The Braves would return to the NLCS the next year, where they overcame a 3–1 series deficit against the St. Louis Cardinals to return to the World Series.

This was a rematch of the 1948 World Series, which the Indians won in six games over the then-Boston Braves. After two previous failed attempts, the Braves finally prevailed, defeating the Indians in six games to win their first title since 1957, when the team was based out of Milwaukee.

The Braves narrowly took Games 1 and 2 by one run each to go up 2–0 in the series. When the series moved to Cleveland, the Indians narrowly prevailed in an eleven-inning Game 3 to avoid a sweep. However, the Braves would prevail in Game 4, 5–2, to go up 3–1 in the series. The Indians narrowly won Game 5 by a 5–4 score to send the series back to Atlanta. In Game 6, the Braves prevailed in a 1–0 shutout, capped off by Atlanta's Marquis Grissom catching the final out in the top of the ninth inning. This was the first professional sports championship for the state of Georgia.

The Braves returned to the World Series the next year, but lost to the New York Yankees in six games. They would win their next title in 2021, against the Houston Astros, also in six games.

The Indians would return to the World Series in 1997, but they fell to the Florida Marlins in seven games. They would also reach the World Series in 2016, where they lost to the Chicago Cubs in seven games after leading the series three games to one.

Broadcasting

[edit]

This was the only postseason in which telecasts were produced by The Baseball Network, the broadcasting joint venture between ABC, NBC and Major League Baseball that began in the 1994 season. Under the original plan, NBC was supposed to air both League Championship Series in even-numbered years while ABC would have all four Division Series and the World Series. Then in odd-numbered years, ABC was supposed to air both League Championship Series while NBC would have all four Division Series and the World Series.[41][42][43] After the 1994–95 MLB strike forced the cancellation of the 1994 postseason and delayed the start of the 1995 regular season, both networks elected to dissolve the partnership with MLB on June 22, 1995.[44][45][46][47] To salvage the remains of the partnership, ABC and NBC elected to share coverage of the 1995 postseason including the World Series.[48][49]

The Baseball Network still kept its original plan that not all postseason games (aside from the World Series) were guaranteed to be shown nationally.[50][51][52][53] To increase viewership by preventing games from being played in the afternoon (the league was the only professional sports league in the country to play postseason games on weekday afternoons), the National League and American League's Division and Championship Series games were instead played simultaneously[54] in primetime, and affiliates could only air one game each night, which were again determined regionally.[55][56] If one playoff series had already concluded, the remaining games would be aired nationally.[57] For example, Games 1 and 2 of all four Division Series were aired regionally on NBC on October 3–4 before ABC televised Games 3 and 4 on October 6–7. Likewise, Games 1 and 2 of both LCS were regionally televised on ABC on October 10–11 before NBC aired Games 3 and 4 on October 13–14. ABC then had Games 1, 4, and 5 of World Series while NBC aired Games 2, 3, and 6.[41] Had the World Series gone to a seventh game, it would have then been broadcast by ABC.[58]
