Javier Lopez remembers picking off Manny Ramirez
While Braves right fielder David Justice gets the credit for the biggest hit and Tom Glavine the best pitched game in the 1995 World Series, the best defensive play has to go to catcher Javier Lopez.
For those that witnessed it, they will never forget it. It came in Game 2 in the top of the eighth inning with the Braves leading 4-3 and reliever Alejandro Pena on the mound at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. Cleveland’s Eddie Murray opened the inning flying out to center, and Manny Ramirez followed with a bloop single right behind second base.
