When I’m feeling down….I rewatch this. It never fails to lift me up. My son & I were watching & jumping up & down. Unfortunately, my son took his life 10 months ago. Somehow this makes me feel closer to him.
My sincere condolences, Jean. I hope you have healed as much as one can after the loss of a child. Watching this with my dad, who passed away in 2015, is one of the best memories I have. God bless.
This is my greatest baseball memory. I was 14 years old. I had watched the Braves everyday on TBS with my dad since 1981. All the bad years. As this inning started my dad joked "They are gonna have a spectacular comeback to win this series." I rolled my eyes and then watched these moments with my dad as he was proven right before my eyes.. This will always be a precious memory to me.
My dad had the exact opposite reaction, and had everyone, himself included, go to bed before this inning. He did not have any kind of faith whatsoever.
RUN SID! RUN! That was the most replayed sports highlight for the next few years. Sid was LITERALLY the slowest man in baseball but he was like lightning that night. Ok, maybe not lightning but he was fast enough. Watching this after what the Braves did this year (2021) makes me remember why I love baseball and especially the Braves so much.
I've been a Braves fan since the 70's and this moment in team history still gives me goosebumps more so when you watch it with Skip Caray making the call.
Skip said "oh man you could cut the tension here with a knife". Then it happened...Braves win! Braves win! About three more times just like his dad lol...it's great...
One of the best games as a Braves fan next to the 1995 and 2021 World Series clinchers. Watching games like this makes you remember where you were for the rest of your life.
I never get tired of seeing Sid slide and seeing all the fans going berserk. Francisco Cabrera. A guy who will never be in the Hall Of Fame and only had 10 at-bats the entire 1992 season, but will always be remembered for having one of the biggest hits in Braves history.
I still can't believe Sid Bream made it home! I remember playing Ken Griffey Jr on SNES, and Sid Bream had the lowest speed rating of anyone in the game lol
He must have found another gear because it looked like he was rounding 3rd when Bonds got to it. If the throw wasnt off to the side, Bream would have been out.
I remember watching this game and going crazy when the Braves won. Bream ran very well after 5 knee operations, after seeing this again I believe Belinda was squeezed by umpire Marsh think that's when Pirates walked Bream.
I met David Justice at a VIP floor of a hospital dinner and he talked to me and a friend at length about how it felt to watch Sid bream running home. Haha. Great experience
When the Braves made the World Series against the Cleveland Indians, ole President Carter was wearing a neutral Major League Baseball jacket and flashing any Braves gear. He was too diplomatic and should have wore a braves jacket.
I grew up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Went to many games in that old stadium, mostly watching some really bad teams. But I went to all those games with my Dad, who helped me fall in love with baseball and with the Braves. In our living room, it was me, my Dad, my Mom, and my sister. The latter two couldn't care less about baseball but even they were into this. I was 14 I think. As Bream is rounding 3rd, Dad's screaming "C'mon you slowpoke!" And I jumped off the couch after Bream was safe (and he WAS safe) and leapt into a huge hug with my Dad. He passed away and I miss the hell out of him. Side note: the only thing this video is missing is Skip Caray's masterful call. It's not just the final play but the entire half inning - just a masterful call.
1992 was a great year for sports. This win by the Braves, Alabama’s amazing basketball season and of course the football team winning the natty....I grew up in Gadsden. Went to many games with my dad as well in this stadium...
This is about the time the transplants started to take root. Drabek was tough but when TP got that double, I got to thinking….the Lind error and ran and got my cap and did the left shark, then right, chopped for Sid, then upside down (v for victory) for Hunter and the pop out felt like air was let out. That celebration, but I think that hurt Sid. Then getting my radio and listening to Skip. I was trying to get my wits back about me, telling my mother Skip yelled Braves win 5 times.
@Draped Up& Dripped How true! I didn't like him when he was a Cardinal. I loved him when he became a Brave. They all got on his back and he took them from worst to first in '91.
Unfortunately Terry was never on a world championship team. He played in five World Series, two with St. Louis and three with Atlanta. A great player and person, he deserved the NL MVP in 1991.
Man you can see Sid’s knees screaming at him while he sprinted. Every land of the left foot causing a bigger limp. He wasn’t even to the third base bag when the ball was fielded. He dug deep, grimaced through his sore knees, at the end of a long season, and gutted out the biggest run of his career. Amazing moment.
What great memories!! I was eleven years old but I still remember this game so vividly. I actually had to go to bed in the 8th inning because of school the next day (I remember Doug Drabek pitching an absolute gem and that the Braves just couldn't seem to get to him so we felt like the Pirates were probably going to win.) so I missed seeing it live. But we taped the remainder of the game on my VHS tape so my dad and I watched it early the next morning and I couldn't BELIEVE what happened in the 9th inning. Just legendary stuff! As much as I loved the '95 Braves team that won the championship, the '91 and '92 teams will always hold a special place in my heart. The '91 team literally came out of NOWHERE and the '92 team pulled off a comeback we'll always cherish.
One of the greatest moments in Baseball history I remember seeing that play when I was 11 years old watching it with my mother who passed away a few years ago.Those were some good times
I was 10! Love this team!! They were the best team for so many years! This current year has been amazing to watch! Hope they make the postseason this year
An amazing moment. Little-used Francisco Cabrera and Sid Bream, the game's slowest base runner after multiple knee surgeries over the seasons. Cabrera, with 11 Plate Appearances all of 1992 in "The Show", becomes an Atlanta folk-hero in an instant.
I was driving home on I-285 listening to the game on WSB. I went from clenching the wheel in a death grip to nearly wrecking out when Cabrera hit that line drive. Still my favourite Braves moment ever.
I was 11 years old when this happened and we were living in a camper BUT, it had a tv. And I vividly remember this as if it were yesterday. My father jumping onto the tiny couch and the whole trailer shaking and the dog getting so scared. Such a great moment that I will never forget. Go Braves!
Adam Perry I know that. That is why I said they "nearly" won their division that year. They were competitive with the Astros all the way up until the final weeks of the season. Google "1997 Pittsburgh Pirates Freak Show."
Adam Perry 1997 was the year that Francisco Cordova and Ricardo Rincon combined on a no-hitter against Houston and won the game on a walk-off home run. Check it out: th-cam.com/video/rEQ_Cvc0wsc/w-d-xo.html
Was 9 years old and watched this live as it happened. 30 years later and it still brings a tear to my eyes. Ima lifelong braves fan and the 90s was a special time for braves country.
Man, I love that second replay where Nixon and Justice are telling him to slide. So many “baseball” things in that shot, the home plate ump, King’s reaction at 3rd, etc. So much to look at and appreciate!
I remember this like it was yesterday. I stayed up and watched this and woke the whole house up screaming. What a memorable moment and a memorable team. I was 12 years old when this happened. Wow!! Hard to believe the time that has passed. Best Braves team to date.
That video quality back then... Crazy how far we have come.. One of my most vivid memories of all time.. I remember where I was ... Can almost fully recreate the room.. I fell asleep watching this game.. woke up in the ninth and rest is history.
This gave me goosebumps. I remember that night. I was a single mom, my kids were in bed and I was watching the game. When they won I started my celebration. I'm surprised that my children slept through my yelling & screaming. Lol. Let's hope our 2018 Braves can repeat this wonderful moment.
Well it didn’t happen in 2018 but here we are 2021 WS champions again!!! Finally I was 12 yrs old during this game and 15 during their first WS i seen them win so this current championship I enjoyed so much
Google Andy Van Slyke's interview about Barry Bonds. He talks about how he motioned to Bonds to move over and cover the gap more, and Bonds flipped him off. Cabrera's hit went exactly where Van Slyke told Bonds to move and that extra 1-2 seconds that would have been shaved off made all the difference. Now knowing that, watch 18:08 and 18:28. Huge Braves fan here, but I can't help but feel bad for Van Slyke.
Not a Van Slyke fan. I loved it when Nixon took a home run away from him on a circus catch. But there was one moment that was the best. Leibrandt was pitching, and Van Slyke hit a laser that thudded right into Charlie's glove. He didn't even have to move. Bam-bam. Van Slyke hit it as hard as you can hit a ball, and was out before he could leave the batter's box. As Van Slyke slammed the bat to the ground in obvious fury, Skip Caray drawled, "Nothin' to it." Absolutely hilarious.
Van Slyke has been known to embellish some stories, and it’s known that he has great disdain for Bonds to this day. Also, Van Slyke was voted by an anonymous panel of various professional athletes as one of the “Top 10 Worst Teammates/Contemporaries To Have To Share a Locker Room/Press Conference With” in a 1995 SI piece. It was noted in a blurb that came with each athlete that Van Slyke would often try to position other players, especially fellow outfielders, even after the dugout had already sent in positioning instructions. So, take that statement with a grain of salt. Also, Van Slyke waited 20 years to make that assertion and Jim Leyland has NEVER acknowledged it.
I thought Bonds played it pretty well honestly. Cabrera was a pull hitter, and Bonds wasn’t shaded so far over that he couldn’t gather the ball timely. He just didn’t make an accurate throw.
@ Martin Riggs - I'm a Braves fan but yeah, if Lind makes that play, I doubt the Braves make it to the WS bc that would have been the first out. The fly out by Gant would have been out #2, then the popup by Hunter would have been out #3 and the game would have been over.
@ Johnathan Patrick - nope. Kind of funny tho, Belinda ended up signing with the Braves sometime after the Rockies released him in July of 2000 (and putting up a 7+ ERA) but they (they, meaning the Braves) were also playing in Turner Field by then too then the Braves ended up releasing him on September 12th of 2000 which ultimately ended his baseball career.
I get teary eyed every time i watch this. I was 14 at the time. A fan since I was a little kid. The Braves of the 80's had alot of tough years. This made being a fan worthwhile.
One of the most happiest times of my life! My dad had given up on them, but I kept watching them; and when Cabrera hit that base hit to bring David and Sid home, and the voice saying, "Braves win Braves win Braves win Braves win", I went crazy! I drove to underground Atlanta in my pajamas, I didn't care. Everyone was honking their horns saying, "they did it, they did it". That was awesome!!!
I bet I've watched this half-inning a hundred times! I remember watching it live and screamed when Cabrera's hit occurred! My wife, who was taking a bath didn't appreciate my enthusiasm very much. What a comeback!
I honestly don't think Hollywood could have scripted an ending to such an important game any better. I watched it live in disbelief....still arguably the best ending to a baseball game in MLB history....and I'm not even a Braves fan!
Yeah, they routinely rolled out 3-4 starters that would have been the ace of pretty much any other staff in the 90's. Almost every day was "win day" for the Braves.
I view the 1996 Series against the Yankees as the "one that got away". The Braves opened with a 2 games to nothing in that one. 1991 vs the Twins was arguably the most impressive World Series of all time in terms of competitive games. 1995 they beat an extremely impressive Indians squad.
@@DisAccountizaMiracle As a Braves Fan, 1996 Burns to this day! I never have understood how we blew that Series.. The 1991 Series was also blown in game 6 by Charlie Liebrandt.. Oh well, we got 1 World Series Title out of 5 trips.. Could've been worse..
I've heard Pirates fans say they wish he had just beaten them with a grand slam right there, that it would have been easier to taken than getting beat by Cabrera.
Bonds was playing deep as hell on that ball. That should have been a rocket off the wall, but Bonds was playing on the warning track. That was really surprising to me. Maybe they were playing Gant like that because he was such a strong dead-pull hitter. I don’t know. It was surprising to see Bonds that deep though.
Ron Gant could've done a lot of things. He could've gotten a hit to drive home Lonnie Smith and Pendleton in Minnesota. He could've won Game 6 in the bottom of the 9th the next year after Nixon tied it with two outs. But he did neither.
Admittedly, I am not a huge baseball fan but I followed the Braves in the nineties and also was a fan of Tony Gwynn (Padres Hall of Fame) and Mark McGwire (Oakland/St. Louis). The ninth inning of the Pittsburgh vs Atlanta NL Championship Series was the most thrilling thing I have ever seen in a baseball game. I still get chills watching it and the call by the announcer (Sean McDonough) is epic.
The Braves broadcast was way more emotional with Skip Caray yelling "Braves Win! Braves Win! Braves Win!" when Sid was called called safe. The national broadcast was rather boring in comparison.
@@blake7871 Agreed, and the fact he's still calling games across the board in so many sports with that same level of enthusiasm makes him one of the all time bests. He has a lot of great ones, but among my favorite of his are: 1. This one in the video 2. Richard Hamilton's buzzer beater in the 1998 NCAA Tournament 3. Kevin Weeke's save on John Madden in the Hurricanes-Devils playoffs series in 2002 4. The overtime game winner of the Duke-Notre Dame 2010 national championship in lacrosse 5. The ending of Michigan-Michigan State in 2015 The man knows how to call a game regardless of the sport!
I hate to be "that guy" but I was down there 12 rows back from the field, visitors on deck circle and saw it all. Cabrera got the hit and everything seemed to move in slow motion, and then the ump displays the SAFE sign... that's when the stadium SHOOK.
Yes. I can't say it was my top moment of seeing something in person. I was also at game 6 of the 1995 World Series, same stadium, but as far as sheer craziness and bedlam. This was it.
Saul Goodman You saw two of the most iconic moments in Braves history. That doesn’t make you that guy. It makes you awesome. The only way it would be better is if you saw Hank Aaron hit #715 as well.
I agree with Starkill3r. You say you were there, I say, VERY nice. I didn't see the game live but I did live in a suburb of Atlanta at that time and watched the game with my dad. I am a White Sox fan and my dad is a Cubs fan, but this was one of the most awesome moments we ever saw in the game of baseball. I only wish we had the TV down and the radio on with Skip and Pete. That call by them was so... well, I am sure you have heard it!
I remember EXACTLY where I was watching this game...when Bream scored, we were so loud, the neighbors called the cops...didnt care...one of the best finishes I've ever seen
These guys are still my heroes 26 years later. I was a Senior in High School and had gone to bed early expecting them to lose but heard my parents hooting and hollering when we loaded the bases. Turned on my radio and listened to the game. Was jumping up and down on my bed when we won. Will never forget it. School the next morning was electric. BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN!
Context matters - the Braves had blown a 3 games to 1 lead in the series. The Pirates won Game 6 13-4. Before the game, Pat O'Brien said, "The Braves may be out of ammo." Most teams in this situation were dead in the water. But not the Braves.
radconserv68 as a matter of fact in 1995, Justice called out the fans for their faithlessness the day they actually won the World Series. And he delivered the game winning hit (think it was a home run of all things)
Watching this in 2022. This still gives chills. The emotion of this inning. Bottom of the 9th to come back and win it, doesn’t get any better than that. You can’t help but feel bad for Pittsburgh, Drabek pitched his heart out, they lost the NLCS 2 years in a row, and this happened. And Bonds would go on to San Francisco. And the Pirates would never be the same.
Exactly!! This was Bonds' last game as a Pirate. They haven't done ANYTHING since!!! Only one playoff appearance in the past 30 years. Who knew one game would change the fortunes of a franchise for decades!!!
I was too young to remember this but anyone older than me tells me their stories about this crazy moment. Slowest player on the team makes the greatest move in Braves History. The Slide. Well Done Sid Bream. Been a Braves Fan since 1993. Before the strike and before they won it all. Thank you Braves for being a fan for over 25 years. Since 5 years old.
This is my favorite sports moment.Sid Bream at the end of his career.His knees are gone.He can barely walk.The Atlanta Braves The long Time Losers.Sid pulls off an unbelievable feat of strength.Up against one of the best players in baseball....watch this miracle.
Best sports moment of my life, period. Me and about 15 of us were in a downstairs den watching on a old school big screen TV. None of us sat down the entire 9th inning, come to think of it we didn't sit for much of the 8th either. anyway when Sid slid into home plate we all jumped so high and so forcefully we knocked the ceiling panels out with our hands and fists cheering so much. I swear my whole subdivision was hollerin' and screamin' at this moment. If you are a Braves fan and old enough to remember, it will never be better than this, never. IDC if the Braves were to win 3 World Series titles back to back to back, and as awesome as that would be, it could never equal the magic of this night.
I was 11 years old, and here we are 27 years later. At 38 this is Still my all time greatest sports moment... Until hopefully this year (2019 Bravos are special and the future is bright in the ATL). GO BRAVES!!!!! ⚾️🔥
The right fielder Cecil Espy, who was a defensive replacement, either lost the ball in the lights or just misjudged it because that should have been caught.
Remember watching this game after everybody in my house went to sleep was 11 at the time ..... after the game ended I couldn’t believe it .... best sports memory in my life when Cabrera hit the call and Bream came home with the winning run.... pure magic
I was there 16 rows behind 1st base. People were leaving earlier in the game. They had a few chances to take the lead but failed. I've never heard anything louder than inside the stadium that night! We celebrated for hours! I went to work at 8am the next morning after that! It'll be tough for something more exciting to happen!
I was just watching the video thinking "I miss those stadiums that weren't just for baseball." and then I saw your comment. They had a different atmosphere. So cool. They were almost like coliseums...round and trapped all the sound.
@@tony_anello Those were horrible stadia especially Atlanta Stadium. The seats were too far from the action. I prefer the old stadia or the new ones built like old ones.
I was born the one year the Braves won the World Series, but I sat down, went through their history, and saw just how great they were in the 90's as a team. Over half of the decade they were in the World Series. Winning more than one title would've been better, but making that many WS appearances in a decade is impressive alone.
I was nine years old. Sixth inning Atlanta had the bases loaded with nobody out. Blauser hits a bullet to King and Lemke is doubled off. That's when I went to bed. Fell asleep. Next thing I remember my dad is lifting me above his head screaming, "Braves get into World Series!"
We're the same age lol. I lived in Atlanta and was a huge Braves fan. I remember being so pissed when my parents wouldn't let me get a tomahawk cut into my hair lol. I was obsessed with baseball and the Braves.
Was Listening to the game on the Jersey Turnpike. Got off at exit 3 sat waiting for a delivery and when they won I jumped outta that truck like I had been shot. Felt like a School kid. A 26 year old kid but a Kid none the Less. As I write this I'm now 53 and it's June 10, 2019 and the Braves Were down to the Marlins 5-1 in the 9th, They scored 4 runs which 3 came off the Bat of Ronald Acuna Jr. The Braves went on to win in 12 innings 7-6. New faces Acuna, Riley, Albie's, Swanson Freeman Fried, Sokura and Tehran have replaced Gant, Justice, Pendleton, Bream Jones Smoltz and Glavine.....But The Excitement and the Chop lives on. The ATL is BRAVES COUNTRY and Still America's Team.
We're the same age and I'm still a fan as well. Got a great Acuna parallel card from 2018 - have alway been a card guy - and the new park, while not as convenient as the old one, is going to make Acuna the biggest star in the game. Think Henderson with Canseco power.
@@macofalltrades6396 Without Question, And later tonight we take the Show on the road and take the first game ( Hopefully) and then the 2nd as well ( Hopefully ) LETS GO BRAVES NATION.
@@thelugoffgamecock792 Well NOW I'm 56 and later tonight its time to take on the Astros. WOW WHAT A YEAR. From the White House to the Out House BACK to the White House again. When your talking Braves Baseball Your talking Heart Pounding Excitement...... LET'S GO BRAVOS.
His 1993 season still ranks as one of the better in the last 40 years. And he didn't juice until at least after the 1998 season. And he was a 1st ballot Hall of Famer before he ever used PEDs. He should absolutely be in the Hall of Fame. He didn't cheat because he had to. He did it out of envy of the attention McGwire and Sosa got and took away from his brilliance.
Assman Blastman Nah, it was when he realized that Mark Maguire and Sammy Sosa were getting all the headlines by bulking up and doing nothing but strike out and hit Homers, while he, Barry Bonds, the greatest all around player in the game at that time, was being ignored.
@Frederick Dorsey WELL, the Hawks have been forever irrelevant, the thrashers made the playoffs just one time since they join the NHL in 97' and they got swept then, the Braves did when in 95' but haven't even been back to the World Series since 99', and my Falcons, WELL i don't even wanna talk about 28 to 3 anymore So........ Give United the respect that's due to them
The two best half innings of baseball I’ve ever seen: this and Game 7 of the 2001 World Series. Both times I was on the phone with a woman born in 1958. That was cool.
I was there. Will never forget it. The place went crazy. You couldn't hear each other for 30 minutes. A friend from work and her boyfriend left after the 8th, said they didn't want to watch the Braves lose and wanted to beat the traffic. I said the Braves were coming back, they should stay. On the way, they heard what was happening on the radio. When it started happening in the bottom of the 9th, you knew we were going to win, it was in the air. Everybody was chopping, chanting and praying!! I also was at the 6th game of the 95 World Series when the Braves won. That was nothing as far as excitement as this game.
I still get chills remembering going into the kitchen to get a drink and hearing "SID!... SID!... SID!!!" boom through the house from our old TV. I was only 5 years old, but I'll never forget it. One of my oldest and most favorite memories. My family from Pittsburgh were... very quiet at Thanksgiving for years afterward. 🤭
Can't believe this was over a quarter century ago - I was in high school then and to this day this bottom of the 9th is one of the most intense, dramatic sequences I have ever seen in any sport. And I wasn't even rooting for anybody. You could make a 2-hour feature movie out of this one half-inning.
Nobody remembers that Gant came within feet of hitting a walk off Grand Slam. As wonderful as the highlight of Bream beating that throw is.... I can't help but imagine how crazy it would have been had Gant gotten that bull up a bit more. He raked so many wall scraper line drive HR into that LF corner over the years. But it's simply more perfect this way.
The run the braves went on in the 90's. I wish they won more ws. They made watching baseball great just sit on edge of your seat great and this game was that.
Still to this day I get goosebumps watching this. I was glued to my tv as a Young twenty-two-year-old Atlanta Braves fan all my life. Will never ever forget this moment
Remember hearing this late in the night (UK) on AFRTS, Vin Scully calling, tension crackling over the airwaves - what a game, what a contest, what an inning - those Braves were indomitable. Sporting glory ..
Hope you and you’re son watched this year 2021 Braves WS had some great moments for sure.. I was also 12 yrs old in 92 watching this game crazy how time flies and all those years of disappointment in the WS went away this year I was so damn happy and guess what my son was watching with me and he is 12 lol 😂
I watched the replay at the very end at the slowest speed available on TH-cam, and after looking at the slide by Bream and LaValliere's tag at least three times, Bream was safe by maybe- MAYBE- an inch. The umpire made a good call, I think, and it reminds me just how hard the job of an umpire is. He has to make a split-split-split-second call which decides the fate of a team in the biggest game of the season outside of the World Series... yeah, no thanks. I'll stick to being a fan. Edit- for the record, I'm a White Sox fan, so I don't have an iron in this fire. I AM a fan of exciting games, and this is among my absolute favorites I have ever seen.
I just have to know from a Pirates fan what that was like. I had forgotten that they were one out away from the World Series. Here in Cleveland we will never forget the pain of the 1997 series. Must be similar.
Slow motion torture for us Pirate fans. The three rivers overflowed with tears that night. Next day schools were like morgues. This is, to this day, the singular defining play to shift the fortunes of a franchise in baseball history.
Impressive reference. Magnum T.A. live down the street from me in Sardis Forest when I was a child. He would drive by in his red 911 Porsche and give you the head nod. Unfortunate, that Porsche ended his wrestling career
That image of Andy Van Slyke burned into my head lol. This was the last game myself, my dad, and my brother ever watched of any Pittsburgh sports teams together. Our lives went different ways over the coming years. Baseball was never the same here. Not even close. They parade the old timers of the 70s every year out to throw first pitches, bobble heads, you name it. Everything but good baseball. Keep that corporation going on auto pilot. Sid Bream running faster than Barry could throw. Ya, life can be like that too. Then the following year he left for way more money. It was a crash course for me as a young man in loyalty, business, money, and sports. I still remember watching the monopoly money raining down in the stands.

I just bawled watching this again. One of the great moments of my lifetime. Only true sports fans would understand.
i'm crying just reading comments lol wow what a moment one of the most special moments of my life to be true
I was there - literally & figuratively - when Chis Chambliss sent the Yankees to the World Series w/ a wo HR versus KC in game 5 of the 1976 ALCS .
#metoo
Me too! This never gets old.
(And I cried even more in 2021!)🥲😭😅
Same here.
When I’m feeling down….I rewatch this. It never fails to lift me up. My son & I were watching & jumping up & down. Unfortunately, my son took his life 10 months ago. Somehow this makes me feel closer to him.
Deepest Condolences 2 You and your Family for The Lost so sad 2 of my Family members also
My heart ❤️ for you Jean....May Yeshua give you His Shalom
Why?
I'm so so so sorry for your loss if your son 😢😢😢😢
My sincere condolences, Jean. I hope you have healed as much as one can after the loss of a child. Watching this with my dad, who passed away in 2015, is one of the best memories I have. God bless.
This is my greatest baseball memory. I was 14 years old. I had watched the Braves everyday on TBS with my dad since 1981. All the bad years. As this inning started my dad joked "They are gonna have a spectacular comeback to win this series." I rolled my eyes and then watched these moments with my dad as he was proven right before my eyes.. This will always be a precious memory to me.
This is my greatest baseball memory also. I'm a Braves fan and I will never forget the excitement I felt that night.
My dad had the exact opposite reaction, and had everyone, himself included, go to bed before this inning. He did not have any kind of faith whatsoever.
braves nearly blew a 3-1 lead
I take it your dad bit the dust by now?
Yeah I was 12 and it truly stands out as one of my great sports memories.
RUN SID! RUN! That was the most replayed sports highlight for the next few years. Sid was LITERALLY the slowest man in baseball but he was like lightning that night. Ok, maybe not lightning but he was fast enough. Watching this after what the Braves did this year (2021) makes me remember why I love baseball and especially the Braves so much.
He sure was Lightning that night!!!
It's nice that MLB is actually putting stuff like this on their channel.
Love it!
I've been a Braves fan since the 70's and this moment in team history still gives me goosebumps more so when you watch it with Skip Caray making the call.
Skip Caray making the call, can someone post a link to this???
Term I have been a Braves fan all my life. Rest in peace skip. This will never be forgotten.
Crackles McFarly th-cam.com/video/PilAosY41eA/w-d-xo.html
"A lot of room in right center if he hits one there we can dance in the streets."
Skip said "oh man you could cut the tension here with a knife". Then it happened...Braves win! Braves win! About three more times just like his dad lol...it's great...
One of the best games as a Braves fan next to the 1995 and 2021 World Series clinchers. Watching games like this makes you remember where you were for the rest of your life.
I was in my frat house with a good friend from Alpharetta, and it was pure joy. The happiness is simply beyond words.
I never get tired of seeing Sid slide and seeing all the fans going berserk.
Francisco Cabrera. A guy who will never be in the Hall Of Fame and only had 10 at-bats the entire 1992 season, but will always be remembered for having one of the biggest hits in Braves history.
I still can't believe Sid Bream made it home! I remember playing Ken Griffey Jr on SNES, and Sid Bream had the lowest speed rating of anyone in the game lol
He must have found another gear because it looked like he was rounding 3rd when Bonds got to it. If the throw wasnt off to the side, Bream would have been out.
I remember watching this game and going crazy when the Braves won. Bream ran very well after 5 knee operations, after seeing this again I believe Belinda was squeezed by umpire Marsh think that's when Pirates walked Bream.
For real he was slow of the slowest 😂😂😂😂
@@larry930legend Doug Drabek was squeezed on Damon Berryhill's at bat too.
I met David Justice at a VIP floor of a hospital dinner and he talked to me and a friend at length about how it felt to watch Sid bream running home. Haha. Great experience
is there anything more Georgia than Ted Turner and Jimmy Carter watching the 90s braves go to a world series?
Mr. Wrestling II should have been there too.
MrAtlfan21 How about Ted Turner and Jimmy Carter watching the 90s Braves blow a lead in the World Series!
Their salty tears are joyous to blue jays fans
When the Braves made the World Series against the Cleveland Indians, ole President Carter was wearing a neutral Major League Baseball jacket and flashing any Braves gear. He was too diplomatic and should have wore a braves jacket.
MrAtlfan21 oh ❤️
I grew up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Went to many games in that old stadium, mostly watching some really bad teams. But I went to all those games with my Dad, who helped me fall in love with baseball and with the Braves. In our living room, it was me, my Dad, my Mom, and my sister. The latter two couldn't care less about baseball but even they were into this. I was 14 I think. As Bream is rounding 3rd, Dad's screaming "C'mon you slowpoke!" And I jumped off the couch after Bream was safe (and he WAS safe) and leapt into a huge hug with my Dad. He passed away and I miss the hell out of him.
Side note: the only thing this video is missing is Skip Caray's masterful call. It's not just the final play but the entire half inning - just a masterful call.
1992 was a great year for sports. This win by the Braves, Alabama’s amazing basketball season and of course the football team winning the natty....I grew up in Gadsden. Went to many games with my dad as well in this stadium...
This is about the time the transplants started to take root. Drabek was tough but when TP got that double, I got to thinking….the Lind error and ran and got my cap and did the left shark, then right, chopped for Sid, then upside down (v for victory) for Hunter and the pop out felt like air was let out. That celebration, but I think that hurt Sid. Then getting my radio and listening to Skip. I was trying to get my wits back about me, telling my mother Skip yelled Braves win 5 times.
Terry Pendleton is still one of my all-time favorite Braves
Francisco Cabrera is my favorite
@Draped Up& Dripped How true! I didn't like him when he was a Cardinal. I loved him when he became a Brave. They all got on his back and he took them from worst to first in '91.
Unfortunately Terry was never on a world championship team. He played in five World Series, two with St. Louis and three with Atlanta. A great player and person, he deserved the NL MVP in 1991.
Dale Murphy is my all time Braves player
Yes!! Amazing.
One of the most beautiful innings in Braves history.
In *baseball* history
Still get chills from this....
This was almost better than the World Series win. The swing of emotions I had as an 11 yr old I’ll never forget
who was the pitcher?
@@harpoon_bakery162 Stan Belinda.
Man you can see Sid’s knees screaming at him while he sprinted. Every land of the left foot causing a bigger limp. He wasn’t even to the third base bag when the ball was fielded. He dug deep, grimaced through his sore knees, at the end of a long season, and gutted out the biggest run of his career. Amazing moment.
to bad he was out! terrible call!
I was 10 years old. I remember watching this with my parents. We all jumped and hugged each other and celebrated. Best sports moment. ever.
What great memories!! I was eleven years old but I still remember this game so vividly. I actually had to go to bed in the 8th inning because of school the next day (I remember Doug Drabek pitching an absolute gem and that the Braves just couldn't seem to get to him so we felt like the Pirates were probably going to win.) so I missed seeing it live. But we taped the remainder of the game on my VHS tape so my dad and I watched it early the next morning and I couldn't BELIEVE what happened in the 9th inning. Just legendary stuff! As much as I loved the '95 Braves team that won the championship, the '91 and '92 teams will always hold a special place in my heart. The '91 team literally came out of NOWHERE and the '92 team pulled off a comeback we'll always cherish.
One of the greatest moments in Baseball history I remember seeing that play when I was 11 years old watching it with my mother who passed away a few years ago.Those were some good times
king lord i was 11 myaelf go braves
I was 10! Love this team!! They were the best team for so many years! This current year has been amazing to watch! Hope they make the postseason this year
+Jason Bailey Awesome!!! 1992 was a great year to be a Braves fan.
+Jessica Mitchell Watching the Braves go back to back World Series was amazing back in 91 and 92.
king lord yes it was!
And now I'm watching Ron Gant doing the news in the morning, good shit!!!!
This is hands down my favorite moment in Braves' baseball. The memories it brings back of a 9 year old kid watching with his dad are priceless.
An amazing moment. Little-used Francisco Cabrera and Sid Bream, the game's slowest base runner after multiple knee surgeries over the seasons. Cabrera, with 11 Plate Appearances all of 1992 in "The Show", becomes an Atlanta folk-hero in an instant.
I was driving home on I-285 listening to the game on WSB. I went from clenching the wheel in a death grip to nearly wrecking out when Cabrera hit that line drive. Still my favourite Braves moment ever.
I was 11 years old when this happened and we were living in a camper BUT, it had a tv. And I vividly remember this as if it were yesterday. My father jumping onto the tiny couch and the whole trailer shaking and the dog getting so scared. Such a great moment that I will never forget. Go Braves!
And little did those Pirates fans know that this was the last meaningful game they would play for 21 years
LOL
Well, to be fair, they did play some meaningful games in 1997. They nearly came from out of nowhere and won their division that year.
Wish you were right. In fact, Houston won the division in 1997. The Pirates finished under .500 in 1997.
Adam Perry I know that. That is why I said they "nearly" won their division that year. They were competitive with the Astros all the way up until the final weeks of the season. Google "1997 Pittsburgh Pirates Freak Show."
Adam Perry 1997 was the year that Francisco Cordova and Ricardo Rincon combined on a no-hitter against Houston and won the game on a walk-off home run. Check it out:
th-cam.com/video/rEQ_Cvc0wsc/w-d-xo.html
Was 9 years old and watched this live as it happened. 30 years later and it still brings a tear to my eyes. Ima lifelong braves fan and the 90s was a special time for braves country.
I was 37 and a pirates😢 fan. Still stings decades later😢
One of the most beautiful endings in sports history!!
Man, I love that second replay where Nixon and Justice are telling him to slide. So many “baseball” things in that shot, the home plate ump, King’s reaction at 3rd, etc. So much to look at and appreciate!
I remember this like it was yesterday. I stayed up and watched this and woke the whole house up screaming. What a memorable moment and a memorable team. I was 12 years old when this happened. Wow!! Hard to believe the time that has passed. Best Braves team to date.
I was 9 and stayed up with my family we went nuts. Wild to see how old this looks 😂
No way. Can’t agree to that
My parents made me go to bed for school. I was 10 and I was pissed and I woke up to them screaming after sid slid into home. It pissed me off more.
I was 12, and I went to bed before 8th. At morning I got to know on bus radio news. It was great!
That video quality back then... Crazy how far we have come.. One of my most vivid memories of all time.. I remember where I was ... Can almost fully recreate the room.. I fell asleep watching this game.. woke up in the ninth and rest is history.
This gave me goosebumps. I remember that night. I was a single mom, my kids were in bed and I was watching the game. When they won I started my celebration. I'm surprised that my children slept through my yelling & screaming. Lol. Let's hope our 2018 Braves can repeat this wonderful moment.
That's really sweet!!! You must an awesome mom!!! Now let's hope for some awesome moments this year!!
Well it didn’t happen in 2018 but here we are 2021 WS champions again!!! Finally I was 12 yrs old during this game and 15 during their first WS i seen them win so this current championship I enjoyed so much
I remember this as if it was yesterday. Defenitely one of the most beautiful moments in baseball.
Google Andy Van Slyke's interview about Barry Bonds. He talks about how he motioned to Bonds to move over and cover the gap more, and Bonds flipped him off. Cabrera's hit went exactly where Van Slyke told Bonds to move and that extra 1-2 seconds that would have been shaved off made all the difference. Now knowing that, watch 18:08 and 18:28. Huge Braves fan here, but I can't help but feel bad for Van Slyke.
Bonds THE Professional Victim!
Not a Van Slyke fan. I loved it when Nixon took a home run away from him on a circus catch.
But there was one moment that was the best. Leibrandt was pitching, and Van Slyke hit a laser that thudded right into Charlie's glove. He didn't even have to move. Bam-bam.
Van Slyke hit it as hard as you can hit a ball, and was out before he could leave the batter's box. As Van Slyke slammed the bat to the ground in obvious fury, Skip Caray drawled, "Nothin' to it." Absolutely hilarious.
WOW! ... didn’t know this, makes this iconic piece of Atlanta Braves history all the more sweet.
Thank you, for sharing.
Van Slyke has been known to embellish some stories, and it’s known that he has great disdain for Bonds to this day. Also, Van Slyke was voted by an anonymous panel of various professional athletes as one of the “Top 10 Worst Teammates/Contemporaries To Have To Share a Locker Room/Press Conference With” in a 1995 SI piece. It was noted in a blurb that came with each athlete that Van Slyke would often try to position other players, especially fellow outfielders, even after the dugout had already sent in positioning instructions. So, take that statement with a grain of salt. Also, Van Slyke waited 20 years to make that assertion and Jim Leyland has NEVER acknowledged it.
I thought Bonds played it pretty well honestly. Cabrera was a pull hitter, and Bonds wasn’t shaded so far over that he couldn’t gather the ball timely. He just didn’t make an accurate throw.
"could turn out to be the biggest error of his life". McCarver spot on
Martin Riggs I know that guy felt like he was the reason Pittsburgh didn't go to the World Series that year. 😣😣
@ Martin Riggs - I'm a Braves fan but yeah, if Lind makes that play, I doubt the Braves make it to the WS bc that would have been the first out. The fly out by Gant would have been out #2, then the popup by Hunter would have been out #3 and the game would have been over.
Frank H. Yep. And Frankie Cabrera wouldn't have a chance to be a co-hero with Sid Bream.
@ Johnathan Patrick - nope.
Kind of funny tho, Belinda ended up signing with the Braves sometime after the Rockies released him in July of 2000 (and putting up a 7+ ERA) but they (they, meaning the Braves) were also playing in Turner Field by then too then the Braves ended up releasing him on September 12th of 2000 which ultimately ended his baseball career.
I felt bad for him but luckily this wasn’t 2017 cause social media would have blasted him so bad.
I get teary eyed every time i watch this. I was 14 at the time. A fan since I was a little kid. The Braves of the 80's had alot of tough years. This made being a fan worthwhile.
One of the most happiest times of my life! My dad had given up on them, but I kept watching them; and when Cabrera hit that base hit to bring David and Sid home, and the voice saying, "Braves win Braves win Braves win Braves win", I went crazy! I drove to underground Atlanta in my pajamas, I didn't care. Everyone was honking their horns saying, "they did it, they did it". That was awesome!!!
The 90s Braves were something else. This was one of the greatest moments in Atlanta sports history.
Here's an interesting fact: The Braves won both the 1995 and 2021 World Series with 6th game shutouts.
@@nicoleknight9412 Yep, I watched them both.
Kinda like the Buffalo Bills in the same time frame... At least the Braves eventually brought one home...
I’ll never understand how you didn’t have like six titles in the 1990s.
Yeah, something else as in Overrated bums
I bet I've watched this half-inning a hundred times! I remember watching it live and screamed when Cabrera's hit occurred! My wife, who was taking a bath didn't appreciate my enthusiasm very much. What a comeback!
I honestly don't think Hollywood could have scripted an ending to such an important game any better. I watched it live in disbelief....still arguably the best ending to a baseball game in MLB history....and I'm not even a Braves fan!
Braves were so stacked in the 90’s should have won more then one ring!!!
Yeah, they routinely rolled out 3-4 starters that would have been the ace of pretty much any other staff in the 90's. Almost every day was "win day" for the Braves.
I view the 1996 Series against the Yankees as the "one that got away". The Braves opened with a 2 games to nothing in that one. 1991 vs the Twins was arguably the most impressive World Series of all time in terms of competitive games. 1995 they beat an extremely impressive Indians squad.
@@DisAccountizaMiracle As a Braves Fan, 1996 Burns to this day! I never have understood how we blew that Series.. The 1991 Series was also blown in game 6 by Charlie Liebrandt.. Oh well, we got 1 World Series Title out of 5 trips.. Could've been worse..
Absolutely
Yeah Braves should have won more than just one ring in 95 they should have also won 91 and 92 and 96
Ron Gant was two feet from being a Braves legend
nikbnsn He is a Braves legend.
I've heard Pirates fans say they wish he had just beaten them with a grand slam right there, that it would have been easier to taken than getting beat by Cabrera.
Bonds was playing deep as hell on that ball. That should have been a rocket off the wall, but Bonds was playing on the warning track. That was really surprising to me. Maybe they were playing Gant like that because he was such a strong dead-pull hitter. I don’t know. It was surprising to see Bonds that deep though.
John Cate Probably would've been easier on all of us.🤣
Ron Gant could've done a lot of things. He could've gotten a hit to drive home Lonnie Smith and Pendleton in Minnesota. He could've won Game 6 in the bottom of the 9th the next year after Nixon tied it with two outs. But he did neither.
One of the greatest calls in sports announcing history. Sean McDonough has a few great ones. This is my fave.
You should hear Skip Caray's call of that at bat.
Admittedly, I am not a huge baseball fan but I followed the Braves in the nineties and also was a fan of Tony Gwynn (Padres Hall of Fame) and Mark McGwire (Oakland/St. Louis). The ninth inning of the Pittsburgh vs Atlanta NL Championship Series was the most thrilling thing I have ever seen in a baseball game. I still get chills watching it and the call by the announcer (Sean McDonough) is epic.
The call complements this moment perfectly
@@emmcee476 Agree. Absolutely.
It's the voice crack on safe that makes this a classic call. Love when emotion gets the best of national broadcasters.
That was Sean McDonough who made that voice cracking call
I watched this over and over and over and over, and one of the best things is always the huge guy in the pink T-shirt jumping up and down at 17:27!
+andera salvi - LOL!! That is funny. Hey, he was happy! 🤣
That’s what I said back in 92 when watching this live.
“Did you see the guy in the pink shirt?”
😂
The Braves broadcast was way more emotional with Skip Caray yelling "Braves Win! Braves Win! Braves Win!" when Sid was called called safe. The national broadcast was rather boring in comparison.
Team announcers can go a little extra wild on calls, compared to someone doing a national broadcast.
Agreed. Skip Caray was a class act #thankyouSkip #RIH
Actually I thought McDonough made a good call.
@@blake7871 Agreed, and the fact he's still calling games across the board in so many sports with that same level of enthusiasm makes him one of the all time bests. He has a lot of great ones, but among my favorite of his are:
1. This one in the video
2. Richard Hamilton's buzzer beater in the 1998 NCAA Tournament
3. Kevin Weeke's save on John Madden in the Hurricanes-Devils playoffs series in 2002
4. The overtime game winner of the Duke-Notre Dame 2010 national championship in lacrosse
5. The ending of Michigan-Michigan State in 2015
The man knows how to call a game regardless of the sport!
The northern press doesn't care much about southern teams.I haven't seen anything on ESPN about our Braves winning two div crowns in a row.
I hate to be "that guy" but I was down there 12 rows back from the field, visitors on deck circle and saw it all. Cabrera got the hit and everything seemed to move in slow motion, and then the ump displays the SAFE sign... that's when the stadium SHOOK.
Starkill3r - you know the guy that says oh yeah man I was there.
Yes. I can't say it was my top moment of seeing something in person. I was also at game 6 of the 1995 World Series, same stadium, but as far as sheer craziness and bedlam. This was it.
It's all good man!
Saul Goodman You saw two of the most iconic moments in Braves history. That doesn’t make you that guy. It makes you awesome. The only way it would be better is if you saw Hank Aaron hit #715 as well.
I agree with Starkill3r. You say you were there, I say, VERY nice. I didn't see the game live but I did live in a suburb of Atlanta at that time and watched the game with my dad. I am a White Sox fan and my dad is a Cubs fan, but this was one of the most awesome moments we ever saw in the game of baseball.
I only wish we had the TV down and the radio on with Skip and Pete. That call by them was so... well, I am sure you have heard it!
I remember EXACTLY where I was watching this game...when Bream scored, we were so loud, the neighbors called the cops...didnt care...one of the best finishes I've ever seen
These guys are still my heroes 26 years later. I was a Senior in High School and had gone to bed early expecting them to lose but heard my parents hooting and hollering when we loaded the bases. Turned on my radio and listened to the game. Was jumping up and down on my bed when we won. Will never forget it. School the next morning was electric.
BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN!
Francisco Cabrera will forever be the answer to the trivia question.
Forever in Braves lore.
Context matters - the Braves had blown a 3 games to 1 lead in the series. The Pirates won Game 6 13-4. Before the game, Pat O'Brien said, "The Braves may be out of ammo."
Most teams in this situation were dead in the water. But not the Braves.
I went to game 7 and there were people down there selling tickets, they almost had to give them away nobody wanted them.
The people who attended the game had their faith rewarded!
This Mets fan remembers some playoff seats being empty and I couldn't believe it.
radconserv68 as a matter of fact in 1995, Justice called out the fans for their faithlessness the day they actually won the World Series. And he delivered the game winning hit (think it was a home run of all things)
I remember watching on TV and seeing a lot of empty seats. This is the playoffs and they couldn't sell out? Unbelievable.
I remember watching this as a 14 year old kid, seeing it again all these years later and those same emotions come back again ❤️
Watching this in 2022. This still gives chills. The emotion of this inning. Bottom of the 9th to come back and win it, doesn’t get any better than that. You can’t help but feel bad for Pittsburgh, Drabek pitched his heart out, they lost the NLCS 2 years in a row, and this happened. And Bonds would go on to San Francisco. And the Pirates would never be the same.
Exactly!! This was Bonds' last game as a Pirate. They haven't done ANYTHING since!!! Only one playoff appearance in the past 30 years. Who knew one game would change the fortunes of a franchise for decades!!!
God that play at the plate was closer than I thought. Nowadays there would be an agonizing replay review with the umps
I'm 53 and that's the Greatest game 7 I have ever seen.
An unheard of driving in a one Legged runner.
I was too young to remember this but anyone older than me tells me their stories about this crazy moment.
Slowest player on the team makes the greatest move in Braves History.
The Slide. Well Done Sid Bream.
Been a Braves Fan since 1993. Before the strike and before they won it all.
Thank you Braves for being a fan for over 25 years. Since 5 years old.
This is my favorite sports moment.Sid Bream at the end of his career.His knees are gone.He can barely walk.The Atlanta Braves The long Time Losers.Sid pulls off an unbelievable feat of strength.Up against one of the best players in baseball....watch this miracle.
Best sports moment of my life, period. Me and about 15 of us were in a downstairs den watching on a old school big screen TV. None of us sat down the entire 9th inning, come to think of it we didn't sit for much of the 8th either. anyway when Sid slid into home plate we all jumped so high and so forcefully we knocked the ceiling panels out with our hands and fists cheering so much. I swear my whole subdivision was hollerin' and screamin' at this moment. If you are a Braves fan and old enough to remember, it will never be better than this, never. IDC if the Braves were to win 3 World Series titles back to back to back, and as awesome as that would be, it could never equal the magic of this night.
This is the most exciting post season Braves game ever! Even more exciting than game 6 of the World series this year!
I was 11 years old, and here we are 27 years later. At 38 this is Still my all time greatest sports moment... Until hopefully this year (2019 Bravos are special and the future is bright in the ATL). GO BRAVES!!!!! ⚾️🔥
Pendleton's lead off double was massive.
Immense, dude. What a magical half inning of baseball.
The error by Lind was they key
right fielder should have dove for the ball
Did I mention I was there?
The right fielder Cecil Espy, who was a defensive replacement, either lost the ball in the lights or just misjudged it because that should have been caught.
The epicness of this video is indescribable...
Remember watching this game after everybody in my house went to sleep was 11 at the time ..... after the game ended I couldn’t believe it .... best sports memory in my life when Cabrera hit the call and Bream came home with the winning run.... pure magic
Me too in my house⚾😆👐
I was there 16 rows behind 1st base. People were leaving earlier in the game. They had a few chances to take the lead but failed. I've never heard anything louder than inside the stadium that night! We celebrated for hours! I went to work at 8am the next morning after that! It'll be tough for something more exciting to happen!
Man, the age of cookie-cutter, multi-purpose stadiums that shook when the crowd popped!!
#MissingThe90s
I was just watching the video thinking "I miss those stadiums that weren't just for baseball." and then I saw your comment. They had a different atmosphere. So cool. They were almost like coliseums...round and trapped all the sound.
@@tony_anello Those were horrible stadia especially Atlanta Stadium. The seats were too far from the action. I prefer the old stadia or the new ones built like old ones.
Exciting for a Game 7. Boring in July.
I was born the one year the Braves won the World Series, but I sat down, went through their history, and saw just how great they were in the 90's as a team. Over half of the decade they were in the World Series. Winning more than one title would've been better, but making that many WS appearances in a decade is impressive alone.
I love this, thanks! P.S. Terry Pendleton is sooo underrated.
Dontdoittoyoself he’s my favorite Atlanta brave in history
absolutely
MVP
Should be a Manager in the Major Leagues.
Pissed me off to No End when Cox retired and they didn't make Pendleton Skipper.
Terry is extremely underrated!! What a great hitter!!! And in my opinion one of the best clutch hitters Ive ever watched
8:26 that's a upper deck walk off grand slam with today's ball.
Just plain old good baseball!!
I disappointedly shut this game off in the 5th inning. My wife came home from work all excited. I had no idea. Dang. Thanks for posting!
It was 1-0 Pirates and you turned it off?
Sounds like a huge fan......
You high?
@@bentron3030 Fairly stupid comment.
I was nine years old. Sixth inning Atlanta had the bases loaded with nobody out. Blauser hits a bullet to King and Lemke is doubled off. That's when I went to bed. Fell asleep. Next thing I remember my dad is lifting me above his head screaming, "Braves get into World Series!"
‘Dad...I’m a Pirates fan’
😂’I KNOW I JUST WANTED TO RUB IT IN! HAVE FUN GOING BACK TO SLEEP!’
tmzissupergay hahahah. Not hardly. I had trouble going g back to sleep to be sure, but from excitement
Lol I have a similar memory only I was seven, I remember listening thru the wall.m and running out when I heard my dad yelling :)
Pretty much the same for me. I remember it being school night as well. Good memories
We're the same age lol. I lived in Atlanta and was a huge Braves fan. I remember being so pissed when my parents wouldn't let me get a tomahawk cut into my hair lol. I was obsessed with baseball and the Braves.
I still remember this like it was yesterday. For an 11 year old boy living in Atlanta ... this was pure magic.
I remember watching this. This was the first non-Cubs game I got really excited about. SID! SID! SID!
Greatest night of my life as a kid. Running around screaming for joy in my living room. Go Braves!!
Was Listening to the game on the Jersey Turnpike. Got off at exit 3 sat waiting for a delivery and when they won I jumped outta that truck like I had been shot. Felt like a School kid. A 26 year old kid but a Kid none the Less.
As I write this I'm now 53 and it's June 10, 2019 and the Braves Were down to the Marlins 5-1 in the 9th, They scored 4 runs which 3 came off the Bat of Ronald Acuna Jr. The Braves went on to win in 12 innings 7-6.
New faces Acuna, Riley, Albie's, Swanson Freeman Fried, Sokura and Tehran have replaced Gant, Justice, Pendleton, Bream Jones Smoltz and Glavine.....But The Excitement and the Chop lives on.
The ATL is BRAVES COUNTRY and Still America's Team.
Awesome brother!
We're the same age and I'm still a fan as well. Got a great Acuna parallel card from 2018 - have alway been a card guy - and the new park, while not as convenient as the old one, is going to make Acuna the biggest star in the game. Think Henderson with Canseco power.
@@macofalltrades6396
Without Question, And later tonight we take the Show on the road and take the first game ( Hopefully) and then the 2nd as well ( Hopefully ) LETS GO BRAVES NATION.
@@thelugoffgamecock792
Well NOW I'm 56 and later tonight its time to take on the Astros. WOW WHAT A YEAR. From the White House to the Out House BACK to the White House again. When your talking Braves Baseball Your talking Heart Pounding Excitement...... LET'S GO BRAVOS.
As a Braves fan, I literally turned the TV off before the bottom of the ninth. I will never forget the morning news
It was at that moment Barry Bonds decided "I need to get on the Juice."
Hahahahaha! Right?
Damn, you're a hater. He batted
.336 46 hrs with 126 walks clean. What more do you want?
I'd like to point out 46 isn't 70+ and 126 isn't even 1 a game compared to some of the craziest seasons he had getting pitched around.
His 1993 season still ranks as one of the better in the last 40 years. And he didn't juice until at least after the 1998 season. And he was a 1st ballot Hall of Famer before he ever used PEDs. He should absolutely be in the Hall of Fame. He didn't cheat because he had to. He did it out of envy of the attention McGwire and Sosa got and took away from his brilliance.
Assman Blastman Nah, it was when he realized that Mark Maguire and Sammy Sosa were getting all the headlines by bulking up and doing nothing but strike out and hit Homers, while he, Barry Bonds, the greatest all around player in the game at that time, was being ignored.
Ahh the good ole days when the baseball gods shined on the Braves. And Barry Bonds had a normal size head.
The gods shined on em last year. But Barry's head is still ginormous.
Our beloved braves went on to lose to the Jays but this win here in such dramatic fashion had very much the feel of winning it all.
The most amazing sports moment of my life. I was there, 7th row behind the Pirates' dugout. What an experience.
Atlanta DESPERATELY needs another moment like this in sports...badly.
@Frederick Dorsey They blew it big time.
Atlanta united won the mls cup :p
@Frederick Dorsey well its something 😂
@@Videogamelover58 Yeah they did and we got to them some credit, the first championship in Atlanta since 1995
@Frederick Dorsey WELL, the Hawks have been forever irrelevant, the thrashers made the playoffs just one time since they join the NHL in 97' and they got swept then, the Braves did when in 95' but haven't even been back to the World Series since 99', and my Falcons, WELL i don't even wanna talk about 28 to 3 anymore
So........ Give United the respect that's due to them
The two best half innings of baseball I’ve ever seen: this and Game 7 of the 2001 World Series. Both times I was on the phone with a woman born in 1958. That was cool.
I was there. Will never forget it. The place went crazy. You couldn't hear each other for 30 minutes. A friend from work and her boyfriend left after the 8th, said they didn't want to watch the Braves lose and wanted to beat the traffic. I said the Braves were coming back, they should stay. On the way, they heard what was happening on the radio. When it started happening in the bottom of the 9th, you knew we were going to win, it was in the air. Everybody was chopping, chanting and praying!! I also was at the 6th game of the 95 World Series when the Braves won. That was nothing as far as excitement as this game.
I still get chills remembering going into the kitchen to get a drink and hearing "SID!... SID!... SID!!!" boom through the house from our old TV. I was only 5 years old, but I'll never forget it. One of my oldest and most favorite memories. My family from Pittsburgh were... very quiet at Thanksgiving for years afterward. 🤭
One of the greatest Game 7's of all time
Can't believe this was over a quarter century ago - I was in high school then and to this day this bottom of the 9th is one of the most intense, dramatic sequences I have ever seen in any sport. And I wasn't even rooting for anybody. You could make a 2-hour feature movie out of this one half-inning.
Nobody remembers that Gant came within feet of hitting a walk off Grand Slam. As wonderful as the highlight of Bream beating that throw is.... I can't help but imagine how crazy it would have been had Gant gotten that bull up a bit more. He raked so many wall scraper line drive HR into that LF corner over the years. But it's simply more perfect this way.
The run the braves went on in the 90's. I wish they won more ws. They made watching baseball great just sit on edge of your seat great and this game was that.
That last pitch to Berryhill was definitely a strike. Go Braves!
for sure
So was a couple pitches prior to that, Belinda got completely squeezed, Barryhill wasn't swinging no matter what.
Still to this day I get goosebumps watching this. I was glued to my tv as a Young twenty-two-year-old Atlanta Braves fan all my life. Will never ever forget this moment
Back when a starting pitcher actually went more than 3 innings in the postseason. Those were the days.
Remember hearing this late in the night (UK) on AFRTS, Vin Scully calling, tension crackling over the airwaves - what a game, what a contest, what an inning - those Braves were indomitable. Sporting glory ..
My favorite part, no replay.
I was 12 years old when this happened, I just showed it to my 12 year old son reliving the excitement I had with him!!!
Hope you and you’re son watched this year 2021 Braves WS had some great moments for sure.. I was also 12 yrs old in 92 watching this game crazy how time flies and all those years of disappointment in the WS went away this year I was so damn happy and guess what my son was watching with me and he is 12 lol 😂
Still gives me chills 34 years later.
I was 12 and remember watching this moment like it was yesterday and I was so excited and a big Braves fan ever since then!
I watched the replay at the very end at the slowest speed available on TH-cam, and after looking at the slide by Bream and LaValliere's tag at least three times, Bream was safe by maybe- MAYBE- an inch.
The umpire made a good call, I think, and it reminds me just how hard the job of an umpire is. He has to make a split-split-split-second call which decides the fate of a team in the biggest game of the season outside of the World Series... yeah, no thanks. I'll stick to being a fan.
Edit- for the record, I'm a White Sox fan, so I don't have an iron in this fire. I AM a fan of exciting games, and this is among my absolute favorites I have ever seen.
I just have to know from a Pirates fan what that was like. I had forgotten that they were one out away from the World Series. Here in Cleveland we will never forget the pain of the 1997 series. Must be similar.
You got to listen to Skip Caray's call on this. Absolutely Legendary.
He was a homer.
Dustin Krueger No doubt about it! I’ll always remember Skip’s “BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN!!!”.
URL? Can someone post a link to this???
Mcdonough's call was pretty good too. When a guy's voice cracks at the penultimate moment, you know there's a lot of emotion behind it.
Skip was the best!
Slow motion torture for us Pirate fans. The three rivers overflowed with tears that night. Next day schools were like morgues.
This is, to this day, the singular defining play to shift the fortunes of a franchise in baseball history.
Magnum T.A the wrestler moonlighted as a MLB pitcher that went by the name of Doug Drabek.
Lol
Impressive reference. Magnum T.A. live down the street from me in Sardis Forest when I was a child. He would drive by in his red 911 Porsche and give you the head nod. Unfortunate, that Porsche ended his wrestling career
That image of Andy Van Slyke burned into my head lol. This was the last game myself, my dad, and my brother ever watched of any Pittsburgh sports teams together. Our lives went different ways over the coming years. Baseball was never the same here. Not even close. They parade the old timers of the 70s every year out to throw first pitches, bobble heads, you name it. Everything but good baseball. Keep that corporation going on auto pilot. Sid Bream running faster than Barry could throw. Ya, life can be like that too. Then the following year he left for way more money. It was a crash course for me as a young man in loyalty, business, money, and sports. I still remember watching the monopoly money raining down in the stands.
Even as a braves fan, I'm really sorry to hear that.
