Atlanta United’s quest for a championship: The Cup or the Shield

October 28, 1995. A day etched into the minds and hearts of every Atlanta sports fan. Atlanta Braves outfielder Marquis Grissom found himself catching a fly ball that would send Atlanta Fulton County Stadium into an uproar by securing the final out to win the 1995 World Series Championship.

Ever since that autumn night, Atlanta fans only have the one championship in its trophy case, and gone through more than enough pain during the quest to bring home another ring. Whether it be a Hawks playoff collapse, an infield fly rule, or the infamous 2016 Super Bowl, Atlanta natives have endured years of suffering.
