VIDEO: Remembering How David Justice Berated Braves Fans and Became Their World Series Hero a Day Later

Admit it, you've booed a player on your favorite professional sports team. We've all done it at some point in our lives! Mostly, it's due to the athlete not playing up to their contract, or by making foolish errors on a consistent basis. But, Atlanta Braves fans in 1995 had a different reason to send their venom towards outfielder David Justice. Prior to Game 6 of the World Series against the Cleveland Indians, Justice ripped the fan base for not showing enthusiasm during their postseason run. So, once he stepped into the batters box at Turner Field, he was greeted him with loud boos. In the sixth inning of the game, those jeers turned into cheers after Justice hit a World Series-winning solo home run off Indians pitcher Jim Poole.

What a twist!

Justice's solo blast was all Atlanta needed to win. The Braves had Hall of Fame ace Tom Glavine on the mound for Game 6, and he was able to limit Cleveland to just one hit through eight innings of work. Closer Mark Wohlers entered in the ninth for the save to secure Atlanta's glory.

The mercurial outfielder said he made those comments in order to get the fans energized for the series-clinching game. Boy, did Justice ever accomplish that, as he gave all athletes a lesson in "How to Win Over Your Fanbase, 101."
