Wasn't there a combined 1 hitter thrown in the 95 world series?

Also #11 that's nothing, didn't the Yankees win 14 straight WS games between 1996 & 2000? Now that's impressive.

Yep, Game 6 of the 95 Series, saw Tom Glavine throw 8 innings of One Hit ball vs Cleveland, while M. Wohler's slammed the door shut in the 9th, with No hits, ....

and-

Yep, your right, I'd rather have those Yanx games, to see again and again, now that was a true Dynasty, (not the TV show of the same name).......
