Tracking Down Sid Bream and the Braves Heroes From 1992 NLCS Game 7

Thanks to MLB Network and the never-ending nostalgia machine, Braves fans can watch their 1992 team beat the odds for a ninth-inning comeback all day on Friday. You can relive the day the Pirates plummeted from their perch all day long, watching the madcap Game 7 of the 1992 NLCS at any time, as long as you're subscribed to the right cable package.

Which got us wondering: Where are some of the key figures from that contest? Excepting Barry Bonds (we know his whereabouts), we figured we'd check in on some of the stars of that ninth inning and beyond.

Sid Bream

Bream's mad dash from second and subsequent slide into home on Francisco Cabrera's single marked the first truly iconic Braves moment in decades, one which was certainly endured into 2020.

Bream stayed with the Bravos through the 1993 season, hitting a remarkable .344 in a 70-AB cameo with Houston in 1994 before hanging 'em up at the age of 33. Now, he resides in Zelienople, PA (yes, he's back in Western Pennsylvania) with his wife and family, and often speaks at churches, youth groups, and schools. No word on whether he feels personally responsible for torpedoing the Pittsburgh Pirates, another franchise of his past.

Francisco Cabrera

The last man on the Braves' bench, it was somehow Cabrera who lined the game-winning single through the left side. Cabrera never played again after 1993, and as of 2017, had retreated to his hometown of Santo Domingo, instructing teams in the Dominican Summer League with the goal of someday returning to Atlanta's organization.

No matter how short the career, his is a moment you can't take away.

Jimy Williams

The baseball lifer who windmilled Bream home got the job that was coming to him in the wake of this game, without a doubt.

Reeling from being dismissed as the Toronto Blue Jays manager midway through the 1989 season, it must've stung that Williams' Braves then fell to his replacement, Cito Gaston, in the World Series that followed this slide.

Eventually, though, Williams climbed back atop the MLB mountain, managing the Red Sox from 1997-2001, earning Manager of the Year honors in '99. Williams left the game after serving as a bench coach on the '08 Phillies, earning a ring in the process. His sons Brady and Shawn are both currently minor-league managers.

Stan Belinda

Yes, he's the Pirate who coughed this one up, but his post-career arc has been unfortunately tragic. Near the end of a productive 12-year career (which wrapped up with the Braves in 2000!), Belinda was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis after feeling discomfort in 1998.

The sheer fact that he completed more years of professional baseball while his body was deteriorating surely speaks more to his power of will than any statistic can.
