Nineteen-year old rookie center fielder Andruw Jones became the youngest player to homer in a World Series game in the second inning. The Braves, who had won the last three games of the NLCS by a combined score of 32-1, continued their roll early in the Fall Classic.

In that game Andy Pettitte shut out John Smoltz as the Yankees won, 1-0. Game 5 was the final game to be played at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium.
