For former Georgia Tech baseball star Jim Poole, the sixth game of the 1995 World Series between the Braves and Indians matched up the lefthander up against David Justice. What followed was one of the most pivotal moments in Atlanta sports history.

With the Braves leading the series 3-2, the scoreless game reached in the sixth inning. Poole had come in an inning earlier to replace Indians starter Dennis Martinez.
