What is your favorite David Justice memory?

Justice presence at the plate was awesome as a kid watching in the mid 90's. More so remember the dominance of those Braves teams in the 90's with the pitching. Fred McGriff was awesome too. Both of those guys had beautiful swings. Plus my Mom was in love with Javy Lopez so each time he came up to bat she was excited. LOL

First memory that came to my mind was Justice dog piling on top of Sid Bream at home plate in a Braves walk off pennant clinching victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1992 after Bream, who was wearing a big knee brace, barely scored from 2B on a ground ball single to LF Barry Bonds by PH Francisco Cabrera. Justice was waving for Bream to get down and slide at home plate. Apparently Bream got a great secondary lead off 2B with two outs because Bonds made an accurate throw and was a gold glove defender back then.

The Braves championship team of 1995 that DJ was a great part of. The Cleveland Indians team they beat was an unbelievable 100-44 that year.

I’d like for it to be when I heard that Justice is going to be the new hitting coach for the Braves under Manager, Chipper Jones. We need new life in the Atl!

Man DJ is a legend. Could listen to him talk about my favorite team (Braves) and 90s baseball all day!

Ben, outstanding interview with David Justice, one of the greatest baseball players of all time. I’ve been a fan of the Braves since the 70s, and I’m almost 55 years old. I played college baseball as both a switch hitter and left handed pitcher, so I feel qualified to say this, but this might be one of the greatest interviews of all time on how to hit a baseball if you aspire to make it a career, and you have the talent to do so. Congrats to you and David both. I think years from now, everyone will look back and agree. Last, for David to be humble enough to give God the glory is even more important in this day of “look at me” athletes. This made my day, and congrats once again on a great show!

Thank you!!

DJ is one of my favorite player when I started watching baseball and living in Atlanta ! He is very well spoken and down to earth. it's always great to hear stories among their teammates. great interview

16:10 JEFF BLAUSER SHOUTOUT! I loved that guy. Learned to throw sidearm because of him! Dude could RAKE when he was healthy! DJ: "we're gettin' into the weeds now..." Ben, more of this, please! Love gettin' into the weeds with former great ballplayers 🙂 Great work, sir. Oh, and you're still allowed to love the Braves, even though they're hard to love right now 23:47 If I had ever heard that, I forgot. Man, that hurts ME for DJ.

Great guest. Great interview really enjoyed this.

Great interview, took me to childhood watching all the great players in the 90s, collecting their cards. Justice was the man. Had the prettiest swing along with Griffey Jr of course

I could listen to DJ talk all day! He’s got so many stories and still knowledgeable about the game today

Amazing interview, loved watching him in the 90's with those Braves teams. This is the guy that replaced Dale Murphy in RF. He did well.

It was funny and Randy Johnson was one most dominating pitchers in Baseball History!!, Any batters, especially Leftie v Leftie, facing a 6'10" Pitcher whose release point of the ball is 4-5 feet closer to the plate then the average of all pitchers, which is about 55 feet, but Randy Johnson having such a large wingspan, his release point was around 50-51 feet away from home plate. That's before you add his 98-102mph fastball & 88-92mph slider. I bet majority of hitters during that time, lefties particularly, would say he's toughest pitcher they ever faced!

Growing up in Powhatan VA (Not too far from Justin and Ben’s hometown of Goochland VA) I was dying for your brother to become a Braves player one day. Keep up with the great content Ben!

Great interview- justice was a beast in his day- reminder that the hall of very good is one hell of a career. I also laughed a little at Justice’s non response when Ben intimated he wasn’t a steroid user. Justice was on the juice at least at points later on in his career. Justice even alluded to it when he mentioned the Mitchell report and Ben didn’t pick up on it. Solid player, sounds like someone with tons of wisdom and the story about how he got into baseball is an absolute gem.

There was no one playing harder than Atlanta Braves right fielder David Justice. It transpired to all teams in his career and that's why they were always content.

Great interview, Ben. Terrific content.

Sorry, but all those writers that are preventing Mcguire, Sosa, and Bonds from getting into the Hall of Fame need to remember. IT WASN'T AGAINST THE RULES. There were players in the 70s and 80s were all high on speed, crack, marijuana, and pain killers. It's a professional sport. You're paid to perform and entertain. If you want purism, go to the amature leagues. They were all saying McGuire, Bonds and Sosa were all good for baseball when they were cracking home runs and putting it in the sporting news to give baseball press. Now all the sudden they want to be purists? Please, hypocrites. The fact that they are being denied the Hall of Fame is disgusting. Rose should be in the Hall as a player and not as a coach too. He was the most dominant pure hitter of his generation. DJ was a great all around player. Loved watching him and the Braves during their 4 time run. Luckily they got one. They always played their hearts out.

ben, BEN!

awesome interview

Great Interview but DJ mentioned Randy Johnson being with Expos in 1994. He was already with Seattle for a few years. But Expos had great rotation at the time though.

Back in the day you could watch the Cubs and the Braves.

Excellent.

My all time favorite player!

Hitting major league pitching is the hardest thing to do in sports. Roids gave you a better shot when connecting but you still have to CONNECT. Im not saying it didnt effect the stats but most of the guys it did effect the most were HOFers anyway. At least thats just my opinion .

I do think there should be asterisks next to the numbers too. But they are HOFers.

Today's players are missing that gene of always looking to be a better Hitter.

As astute as he is, Justice wrongly names Randy Johnson on '94 Expos

Randy played with Expos earlier in his career but that was before he went to Mariners. He was with Seattle in 94.

As an Indians fan, I enjoyed watching DJ play for the few seasons he was here. One of the sweetest swing I've seen!

I’m in the minority I enjoyed longer games

Hazing is wrong period. Rookie or no Rookie. I played high school and college. I saw it dine but everybody thought I was that crazy MF you don't mess with. I did somethings but if I said, I wasn't going to do it, I didn't and was ready to lay my life on the line.I think about that shit today, it needs to be stopped.

He was on the juice. BTW the US banned steroids in 1990 and baseball did in 1991. So every season Justice played steroids were illegal in the US and every yr except for his rookie season it was illegal in baseball. So Mac, Sosa and Bonds juiced when it was illegal
