I remember the 1992 NLCS game between the Braves and the Pirates like it was yesterday.

The most famous moment of Bream's career came in Game 7 of the 1992 National League Championship Series. Bream was the Atlanta first baseman, and the Braves were playing his old team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, in the NLCS.

The Pirates carried a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning under the pitching of their ace, Doug Drabek, needing just three outs to make the World Series. However, Drabek gave up a leadoff double to Terry Pendleton, then allowed another runner (David Justice) on an infield error by second baseman Jose Lind. After Drabek walked Bream to load the bases, Pirates manager Jim Leyland pulled him out of the game. Reliever Stan Belinda replaced him on the mound, and managed to get two outs, despite giving up a run on a sacrifice fly by Ron Gant. Then, Braves third-string catcher Francisco Cabrera belted a single to left field, and Justice scored easily to tie the game. Pirates left fielder and eventual National League MVP Barry Bonds fielded the ball as Bream (known as a slow runner, possibly one of the slowest in baseball) plodded around the bases toward home plate. Bonds' throw arrived first, but it was slightly offline towards the first-base line. As soon as catcher Mike LaValliere received the ball, he desperately lunged toward the plate to tag Bream out, but Bream was able to slide just underneath the tag to score the winning run and send the Braves to the World Series for the second consecutive year.

"0-1 to Pujols...IN THE AIR LEFT FIELD AND PUJOLS HAS GIVEN ST. LOUIS THE LEAD!! A dramatic, towering, 3 run shot!"

Wainwright breaking his dick off in Beltran

Edmonds pumping one into the 9th deck in the 12th inning of game 6 of the LCS in 2004

Yadi Molina fisting the Shea faithful in the top of the 9th.

Rolen telling Clemens, "Look at this. Look at how stupid you are", roping a double in Game 7.

Jeff Suppan, the clutchest mother****er there ever was.

After Vaughn held the tie game by striking out Haywood, Taylor called his shot(fake) then layed down a bunt and beat it out with great effort. This allowed Hayes to score all the way from second on the bunt(great speed) and the Indians win.

Ya know.. I was amazed to see how much Hayes had changed from one season to the next.

It was like he was a different person.

**Kyle DeLexus** · 03-23-2009, 12:42 AM

Blew my mind! One year he's getting his bed taken outside and has to impress with his sprint speed to get on the team, then the next he's Mr. Big shot. Same with Vaughn.

**pr_capone** · 03-23-2009, 12:47 AM

Well... with Vaughn, at least the crowd let him hear it. I never heard the crowd turn on Hayes.

I think Tanaka was seriously under rated as an outfielder. Decent arm but was willing to give up the body for the catch every single time.

**Kyle DeLexus** · 03-23-2009, 12:55 AM

You know I agree 100% with what you said there. They were used to seeing Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn and let him know it. Hayes they never got that side, they always saw a fast, cocky kid with an attitude. Then he showed up with the long ball and I'm sure the crowds loved that.

Tanaka was everything you'd want from a player on your team. Team first attitude and a great motivator that wouldn't hesitate to say you lost your balls.

It's always great to talk Major League Baseball, but I didn't mean to hijack your serious thread. I haven't been a major baseball fan long enough to have a great memory yet, the best I could come up with was ARod's 499th HR then his attempt at 500 at the K. Everyone was booing him all game until after 499 and then on his last at bat the entire stadium was on their feet cheering louder than I have ever heard. It was pretty cool, then he didn't hit a HR and the entire place booed him.

Aaron Boone's walkoff homer vs. the Sox to win the pennant. Too bad we blew it against the Marlins.

WilliamTheIrish · 03-23-2009, 07:37 AM

Tony Solaita hitting a 500 foot HR in Tiger Stadium. The ball hit about 20 feet below the spot where Reggie hit his in the ASG. A true "bomb".

Hal McRae whacking an Oakland fan with an umbrella after somebody poured beer on him in the OF in Sept of 76 as the boys were fighting for their first pennant.

Frank White beating the living shit out of a fastball while being the 1st 2b to bat cleanup in a WS since Jackie Robinson. That HR went into the bowels of Busch Stadium and was never found again.

Amos Otis hitting the 1st base bag wrong in his first AB in the 76 ALCS, causing him to miss the rest of the series. Changed everything.

Danny Jackson winning the two biggest games in Royals history. Both game 3 of the ALCS and Game 3 of the WS after we had dropped the first two of each series. No Danny J = no championship.

When Randy Johnson made the long walk as a relief pitcher in the bottom of the 9th to shut down the Yankees side after pitching 100+ pitches the previous night. When Womack tied it. When Gonzo blooped it. When Bell ran into his homosexual lover's arms at home plate. And everyone in the stands started making out to a scratched cocky version of Frank Sinatra's New York New York.

Twas glorious
