ATLANTA — After coming up one win short of the World Series, the Atlanta Braves have only one goal in mind for 2021.
Winning it all.
The Braves finally won a postseason series — two of them, in fact — for the first time since 2001, and they had Los Angeles on the ropes with a 3-1 lead in the NL Championship Series.
Alas, the Dodgers won the final three games and went on to beat the Tampa Bay Rays in the World Series.
For the Braves, the agonizing finish to the pandemic-shortened season merely fueled their determination to win Atlanta's first Series title since 1995.
