<p>It was followed by heartbreak, as the Braves got burned in walkoff fashion by Joe Carter and the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series. The Braves&#8217; 14-year postseason run, including the 1995 World Series crown, was something I never could have imagined as a child, watching their terrible forebears play before sparse crowds at Atlanta Fulton-County Stadium.</p>
<p>But nothing burnishes like the night of Oct. 14, 1992, and the play that sent the Braves into the 1992 World Series. I still can&#8217;t decide what was more improbable &#8212; Francisco Cabrera&#8217;s pinch-hit single, or Bream chugging around third place and barely beating the tag at home.</p>
<p>Earlier this season the Braves gave away <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/want-sid-bream-sliding-bobblehead-210332365.html" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/want-sid-bream-sliding-bobblehead-210332365.html?referer=');"><strong>a Bream bobblehead</strong></a> doll to mark the anniversary.</p>
<p>With all due apologies to Pittsburgh Pirates fans &#8212; for their team has not seen the post-season since &#8212; I still get goosebumps hearing Skip Caray&#8217;s unforgettable radio call.</p>
<p>Thanks for the memories, Sid. It will always feel like it happened yesterday.</p>
