1932 World Series: Atlanta wins 4-2

Atlanta Braves: 1932 World Series Champions (4th title)
1911 1927 1929 1932

Colin Cowherd
“This is what champions do when the door is still cracked.
Toronto came in confident — they’d punched Atlanta in the mouth in Game 5, they believed. They scored early, they kept answering. But Atlanta never panicked. Not once.
Because look at the difference: Atlanta didn’t need chaos tonight. They didn’t need a miracle inning. They hit solo shots, they hit early, and then they controlled the game.
McKnight? Two homers. That’s tone-setting.
Fernandez? Of course he homered — he’s been inevitable all series.
Cardona? Player of the Game. Big spot, big swing, end of discussion.
And here’s the real separator: pitching discipline. Sandoval wasn’t dominant — he was professional. Seven innings, limited damage, no free passes that change the game. That’s how titles are closed.
Toronto didn’t lose because they failed. They lost because Atlanta is built for this moment.
This Braves team? They don’t chase moments — they own them.”

Bob Costas
“The final out settles not just a game, but a journey.
The 1932 Atlanta Braves, a team shaped by last year’s disappointment and this October’s relentlessness, have reclaimed baseball’s highest ground.
Toronto struck first, as they so often did in this series, but Atlanta’s response was swift and emphatic. Home runs echoed through Truist Park, not in flurries, but in declaration — a reminder that this lineup, from McKnight to Fernandez to Cardona, was never far from command.
Alex Sandoval provided steadiness where chaos had reigned earlier in the series, and when the moment arrived, the Braves’ bullpen delivered the final punctuation.
This was not a game wrestled away at the end. It was a championship authored inning by inning.
With their fourth World Series title, Atlanta now stands beside Baltimore alone in the sport’s uppermost tier. And as confetti falls and a city exhales, the 1932 Braves are remembered not for the noise they survived — but for the certainty with which they finished.”

1932 World Series, Final Word
Atlanta wins 4–2
Power, poise, and patience — the defining traits
Toronto earns respect, but Atlanta claims history
A title not stolen late, but secured early
