The 1999 World Series, the 95th edition of Major League Baseball's championship series, featured a match between the defending champions New York Yankees of the American League against the Atlanta Braves of the National League. This was a rematch of the 1996 World Series where the Yankees defeated the Braves as well. Held during the month of October, the Yankees swept the Series in four games for their second consecutive title, third in four years, and 25th overall. This was also their second World Series appearance in a four-year span (1998–2001). It is remembered for Chad Curtis' home run in Game 3, which gave the Yankees a 6–5 victory and Game 2, featuring Jim Gray of NBC's infamous interview with Pete Rose.
