Skip Caray calls the 9th inning, 1992 NLCS Game 7 

My son was 10 in 1992. He had fallen asleep around the top of the 8th. I woke him and the start of the bottom of the ninth. I told him, son we have 3 outs to score three runs. What then unfolded was a memory that has bonded us like welded steel since that night. Braves win indeed.

I deeply regret that I can only give one thumbs-up to this classic.

Boy what i would give to hear Skip and Pete just announce one more game together.. RIP Skip..

Skip Caray, Ernie Johnson, and Pete Van Wieren were the soundtrack of my childhood summers. I am a Braves fan from long ago. It's not just the final play, but the entire inning is the absolute best work of Skip's (should be in the hall of fame) career. The way he built the tension of the inning and the payoff of the final play - it's hard not to tear up listening to this. Skip was one of a kind.

The true voice of the Atlanta Braves

I was at this game with my wife and 7-year old son. We had 3 tickets to the game - two on the last row of the center field upper deck and one in the lower deck on the 8th row from the field, looking straight down the 3rd base line. We parked our kid in the good seat and kept an eye on him with binoculars from center field. (Wow - I wouldn't dream of doing that today! ) A few may remember that this game had a delay early on because one of the umpires had chest pains and had to leave. As the game wore on and the Braves were down 2-0, many people started to leave. That opened up seats in the lower deck and my wife and I both migrated down there which is where we were for the 9th inning. As the rally began, everyone began banging on the seats at every pitch. The roar of the drumming of the seats was deafening. I have the vivid memory of watching David Justice cross the plate to tie the game and thinking - "we aren't losing anymore" and then watching right down the 3rd base line as Sid Bream "charged" home. When he was signaled safe (on Barry Bonds' slightly errant throw from center field) the place went wild. I remember looking out at Barry Bonds just hunched over in his own personal "agony of defeat" while the Braves and their fans hugged, screamed and high-fived. Nobody wanted to leave. We took a MARTA bus to the MARTA train station and the bus literally rocked back and forth as we left Atlanta Stadium. As far as I know still the only time in baseball history a league pennant has been won where a team went from losing to winning the pennant with the single swing of a bat. One of the best memories of my life - and our son still cherishes it as well. And I miss Skip Caray. He was a class act. So glad this clip is available.

This will NEVER get old! I get tears....love it!!!!! Love the Braves....miss Skip!!

Skip was the most underrated Broadcaster of all time. RIP

Andy Van Slyke sitting in center field was classic. After losing three NLCS in a row had to be tough. I believe that the Pirates knew that this was their last chance.

Skip and WTBS are the reason I became a Braves fan as a child growing up in Ohio. I miss his voice and charisma. RIP.

Skip Caray was one of the greats. Through all of his humor, his sarcasm, his knack for knowing exactly where each person who caught a fly ball hailed from (And a fan from Cartersville comes away with that fly ball), he had a a way of painting ever single pitch with drama and passion. He was a Braves fan and didn't care who knew. He could make anyone feel exactly every ounce of emotion that every player, coach, and fan felt in that stadium every game. Man I miss this guy. He truly defined Atlanta Braves baseball.

Skip was the best ever. I was so lucky to grow up hearing him. RIP Skip Caray.

Best call ever....nothing tops it.

I was there when Sid Slid. Greatest sporting event I've ever seen live. It was crazy inside and outside the stadium. I've never hugged so many strangers in my entire life.

The night I broke my big toe jumping off the couch hitting the coffee table. There was no pain until after the series.

I had listened to the game at work, and pulled into my driveway at the beginning of the bottom of the 9th. I was despondent, especially after the Braves dismal performance in the two previous games. When Skip narrated the last play, and said "Braves WIN!" over and over, I felt like my radio was melting. I got out of the car and started jumping and screaming. I lived in Tallahassee FL at the time, yet still, I heard screams and whoops and hollers from all around the neighborhood. "Andy Van Slyke is sitting on his glove". Amazing call. Still the greatest sports moment of my life. Thank you Frankie, Sid...and Skip.

The 3 best announcers that will ever be.RIP in peace you gave us much joy.

I have been a life long braves fan... and I mean since I was born in 77 and went through a lot of rough years in the 80s. My dad would take us to Fulton county stadium for summer vacation every year for a week during a braves home stand during the 80s and it was always against the Astros for some reason. Great memories. During this game I went to bed after the 8th inning in tears, literally inconsolable, blubbering like a baby and I had just turn 15... I remember this moment like it was yesterday. My dad came busting into my bedroom screaming and hollering.. "Get up, get up, get your ass out of bed boy!!! They won, they won, they won..." I truly thought he was messing with me, I I tore out of bed anyway, and ran to the living room in my underwear.. just in time to see the 100th replay. Keep in mind this was years and years before DVR or the internet and I could not believe what I was seeing. My dad and I both went nuts and were losing our minds... we were running around the living room scream at the top of our lungs and high fiving each other and hugging. Moments later my mother came running in with her night gown thinking the house was on fire or we were being robbed or something awful had just happened to one of us. She could care less about sports and to this day doesn't understand why were went balistic. True fans will understand out sheer joy and uncontrollable excitement. This is one of the best memories that I have ever had in my entire life. We stayed up and watched the post game celebration and continued watching on sportscenter... My dad I still reflect on this game from time to time and it always brings a smile to our faces... #ForTheA

I was 13 years old watching this game in my bedroom with the rabbit ear antennas, and I still remember this like it happened yesterday

Thanks Pete, Ernie, and Skip! We suffered through the bad times together and celebrated the GREAT times together! Would love to hear you call the 2019 Braves! RIP Ernie. RIP Skip.

This is amazing. I grew up a Braves fan in LA because of Skip, Pete, Joe and Don calling games. I was 11 yrs old when this happened. I miss TBS

I was there when sid slid, 8 years old with my dad. I have seen a lot of things in life, none as crazy as this was. I thought I was the only one to listen to this call and get tears…if your a braves fan you know. I will never forget hearing this call on the way home over and over again that night. Certainly one of the best calls in sports, not just mlb history. Atlanta wasn't always a bad sports town, and I think all braves fans hold this one high, the 95 series is great, but this is the supreme braves win in my opinion.

It was THIS game, as a 12yo, that I decided that I wanted to play baseball. Thanks Skip!

The early talks of doubting Bream's running skills is some glorious foreshadowing. It all came down to his slide. Run old man, run! :)

At pitching change "Uh, don't go away folks." Classic Skip. I'll never forget where I was when this happened. RIP Skip

Wow, memories. I was at that game, it was like it was yesterday. Can't believe it's been almost 24 years. I was single at the time and I took my brother. We were sitting with some co-workers of mine who left at the top of the 9th, I kid you not. They didn't want to watch the Braves lose it. I jokingly, said, "you can't leave, they're going to come back!" So suddenly the momentum was with the Braves. You could feel it. The place was crazy. I remember the excitement of the pinch runners and the feeling of being a team. Francisco Cabrera hitting the line drive and Sid Bream galloping home. I remember praying so hard. There were some Pirate fans sitting in front of us and when we won and during all the commotion, they were just gone. I didn't see them get up and walk out. The deafening screams probably went on for 20 minutes at least. Strangers were hugging while jumping up and down. LOL. The place was rocking. I also saw the Braves win the World Series in 95, but that game didn't compare, really, as far as excitement goes.

God I love Baseball on the radio! Truly theatre of the mind!

I was fortunate enough that growing up in Mobile to not only hear Skip Caray on TBS, but his dad Harry Caray on WGN. I will never forget those days of watching Braves baseball. It was fun staying up late on those west coast road trips. Skip, Pete, and Ernie made you feel like you were there. Great days. Rest In Peace Skip.

I had the pleasure to be a boy in Baltimore and experience the "Oriole Magic" years 1979-83 and it was absolutely wonderful. The Orioles would win games like this routinely and it shaped my love of baseball. Then, I move to Atlanta in 1990 after a stint in the Army and found myself wanting a taste of National League ball. This was before Inter-league play and going to Braves games in 1990 were easy. No one else went. There were times where I could clearly hear Tommy Lasorda cursing in the dugout way down the left field corner because it would be 3,000 people there. But something funny happened in the 2nd half of 1990. The Braves started winning. The diehards at the stadium, the same people I would see nightly were talking and we all could see it. We could see a transformation taking place right before our eyes. David Justice won Rookie of the Year, Tom Glavine was pitching much better, then the Braves signed Terry Pendleton and started bringing up these kids from the minors and the stage was set. I remember I believe in was The Sporting News picked the Braves dead last again, and I said to my group of baseball lovers, ain't no way this team is finishing last. Hell, I think they can challenge the Dodgers. (Real baseball fans can see it coming together, a lot of times before the people who get paid to tell us about the team) 1991 was wonderful, Braves win the Division on the last day, out pitch the Pirates in the NLCS, but fall 1 run short in a EPIC 7 game World Series against Minnesota. But if you asked me 1992 and this game, symbolizes everything about that time in Atlanta! I will NEVER forget Skip Carrys call. Skip had many classic calls durring that time. One that comes to mind is David Justices 2 out Grand Slam in the top of the 9th late in 1991 with the Braves desperately trying to hold off the Reds and keep pace with LA. That was a tremendous moment, and one of those things where you just know something special is happening and you should get on board. Nothing like Pennant Fever Baseball. It can engulf and totally galvanize a city, and it did just that. It was truly a great time in my life and I can replay tjis moment everyday and it will never get old.

Braves' fan since 1966... and as long as I live, I will never forget this game and this play!!!

My fondest memory as a Braves fan. Thanks for sharing it.

This is and probably always will be the greatest moment in my baseball watching career.

All these years later and I still get tears.

Hearing Skip Carey on the Braves and Harry Carey on the Cubs reminds me of the summers in Columbus GA with my grandparents especially with my grandfather who I love to this day

I so remember that night and moment. And if you want to hear how to call a baseball game, listen to an icon call it. RIP Skip and your son is doing you and Harry proud.

Damn I miss Skip. Voice of the Braves from my childhood. Listened to him more than my parents

Thanks for posting this!!! If this isn't the best call in the history of all Major League Baseball, it's definitely in the top 5. And I don't care who you are -- if you're a Braves fan who actually saw this game back in '92, you can NOT listen to this without getting teary-eyed. It was SO AMAZING!!! Shame we lost the Series that year, but heck, getting into the Series at all that year was an accomplishment.

Harry, Skip and Chip. True legends

Almost 19 years ago, and on the day that Braves announcing legend Don Sutton passed away, this still gives me chills.

Skip had this way of saying exactly what was going to happen seconds before it did.

It's Cocktail Hour in heaven!

This is the best call in MLB history. Skip was the best announcer the braves have had.

"They may have to hospitalize Sid Bream" - Skip Caray with probably the single greatest call I have ever heard.

My first memory of Braves baseball. Love it.

I didn't realize just how awesome Skip was until he was gone. Having grown up my whole life with him calling Braves games I thought every team had someone just as good. My mistake

RIP Skip, I'll never forget this moment from my childhood.

I dont care what anyone says , that was the greatest call in the history of sports: There is a lot of room in right-center field, if he hits one there, we can dance in the street..swung line drive left field, one run is in here come bream, the trow to the plate.........braves win!" That is a classic call in MLB history!

Man I miss Skip so much!!!!!

God bless Skip.

Without a doubt one of the game's most electrifying moments.

Ahhh we miss you Skip and that foul ball was caught by a fan from Fayetteville GA. Go Braves!!!

I remember my dad going out to the garage to sit in the car and listen to Skip instead of the TV broadcasters. Also, that man could hear the game through the most static over the radio ever. Listening to a cassette tape about the 92 Braves over and over made Skip's voice more familiar to me than many of my relatives.

Skip was the BEST.So fortunant to have got to enjoy Skip for all his years doing Brave baseball. Will never forget him. Thank you Skip RIP my friend,

Brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it...I was in high school and stayed up to see this game!!!

🐐 Braves Country misses Skip, PVW, EJ and Sutton so much!

I know every word! Still get chills!!

Amaizing⚾️👍 i from Panama City Panama i ❤ the Braves since 1985

I remember this so well to this day...Listening to it still give me chill...what a moment in Braves history

sThe Great Skip Caray kept me interested in Braves games through the entire 80's , so this was really amazing, almost surreal after all those years! Still as exciting now.

As a Braves' fan this is one of the moments that lives on forever. Never get tired of reliving this. My two boys had gone to bed, fallen asleep, when Bream scored I hit my head on the ceiling, screaming my lungs out. My wife says, quiet, you'll wake the boys. I replied, no chit Sherlock, and I ran down the hall to their room screaming as loud as I could, Braves win! Braves win! Braves win!

12 Years Ago On Tomorrow, August, 3, 2020 R.I.P. Skip Caray

I was there that night. Seventh row behind the Pirate dugout. We were there as a result of my law firm's flippance toward the Braves. Brent & I were there, and while he wanted to leave at the end of the 8th, I didn't budge. One more inning bro, c'mon. Then, Pendleton led off with a double. Then a walk. Another walk. Ron Gant nearly hitting a grannie, got Terry home, so it's now 2-1. It was game on then, the rest is history. I've never experienced anything like it in my life, even sense some 30 years later. EPIC.

This is a brilliant audio description of an event fraught with both high stakes and accumulating tension. Well done.

My favorite baseball memory as well. I will never forget the images of Sid running as hard as he could around third and of Andy Van Slyke just sitting there in the outfield afterwards totally stunned with his jaw hanging open. Classic!

Listening on my Walkman as a 12 year old boy in South Carolina, this was such a thrill!

I scared the shit out of my mother when this happened, she was a sleep and when Sid slid and was called safe I went nuts and started crying, both her and my sister came running into the living room because they thought we were being robbed

I got goosebumps as soon as i heard Skips voice again thanks

I was in the stadium when the 1969 Mets won the World Series, worst-to-first. I was living in Atlanta and a Braves fan when they went worst-to-first in 1991 and for this incredible moment in 1992. To be fair, I guess I should move to Chicago to bring the Cubbies good luck.

I never get tired of listing to his call

Skip Caray was awesome. My second favorite behind Scully

Thanks for everything Skip Carey #greatmemories

One of the greatest calls in baseball history. Much like Russ Hodges great call "The Giants win the pennant!" 5 X. Braves Win!!!!! 5X

I was 9 years old on vacation in Indiana when this game aired. I remember Atlanta had the bases loaded with nobody out in the 6th, and Blauser hit in to a line drive double play to third base. That's when I went to bed. Fell asleep; next thing I remember was dad picking me up above his head, saying "Braves get into World Series!!"

I wish I was alive at least 15 years earlier so I could witness this in person. I was born in 1997. I could only imagine what Fulton-County Stadium felt like during the chaos/mayhem/pandemonium (whatever you want to call it) after “Sid slid”.

I still get misty-eyed listening to this. This is almost better than the Braves actually winning it in '95. We ran around the house jumping up and down after Cabrera's play.

love you and miss you Skip. this was 28 years ago. I am now 64 years old so almost half of my life ago. I remember sitting in my living room alone watching this awesome come back. Wife and 4 year old daughter had already gone to bed. When Caberra got the the hit I think that is the only time my wife of 35 years ever cussed me. I woke both of them celebrating. But i would do it all over again.

Skip seemed so happy

I had just turned 13 when this happened. Remember it like it was yesterday. We always turned off the TV announcers when it wasn't Skip and Joe with the call, and turned on the radio while watching the game.

16:50 is the best radio call in sports history

Loved Skip...watched the Braves since we first got the Superstation the 70's. Became a Braves fan then and have been since.

One of the all time greatest moments in Atl Braves history!!!!

Can't listen to this without getting teary eyed. Been addicted to the braves ever since.

26 years ago today. What a game!

BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN! Watched this on tv but of course had the sound off so I could hear Skip’s call. Best baseball moment of my life.

Tears from these memories, was in 8th grade. My folks didn't really care for baseball and had gone to bed. I woke everyone up in the house yelling and screaming.

What a wonderful memory! Such a great day to be a Braves fan!

I was at this game and will never, ever forget it or Carey's outburst. Such great memories. Thanks for uploading!

Lorenzo Charles dunking in the final 2 points in 1983 to give NC State the national championship over Houston, Morten Andersen's kick sending the Falcons to the Super Bowl in 1998, and Sid Bream's slide in 1992 are the watershed moments in my life sports wise. All unforgettable moments!

Brings back great memories! I was watching the game in my dorm room at the whole place exploded when Bream scored. Miss ole Skip

The sad part about this is that in today's game this play definitely would've been challenged by the Bucs (even though Bream was clearly safe). As a result, some of the euphoria would've been somewhat anti-climatic.

We screamed so loud I bet we woke the whole neighborhood. My friend got so excited he literally puked. Then we were off to Buckhead. It was insane! Never seen anything like it.

I was 26 years old. Remember like it was yesterday.🤩

Skip Carey, Ernie Johnson and Pete van Wieren was quite the broadcast team when I started listening to Braves on our rural AM station in the '60s. It was always on; in the house, in the yard when we washed our family cars and when we hung out at the lake all day picnicking and boating. Growing up literally in the middle of nowhere there was a lot of free time to fill and the Braves broadcasts were about as predictable and dependable as it could get. We were lucky if we got to watch them because we only had the three big TV stations to listen watch with finicky reception. The fact those guys were able to draw an audience and keep you entertained while the infrastructure and eventually superstation of what TBS, TNT and the Superstation built per Ted's plans was a testament to their amazing talent as broadcasters but, moreso, as entertainers. Adding Joe Simpson and Don Sutton later on and eventually easing Skip Carey, JR into the broadcast rotation we're also great moves. I tell you Don Sutton had one of the most recognizable and smooth easy listening radio voices I ever heard.easy going and keeping the mood light. In fact, as they continued rotating the guys TV->radio->TV, etc I would select my audio. If Don was covering on radio I would turn down the TV volume and watch the action while listening to Don broadcasting on radio. It's a trick I learned a long time agowhen Larry Munson was the voice of the Ga Bulldogs - watch on TV but listen to Larry. We even went to Ga games wearing radio headphones watching live as Larry did his thing on radio.

i couldn't watch the bottom if the ninth and turned off the tv. I was done. then I decide to turn on the radio in case if a miracle. got to hear that miracle, greatest call I ever heard.

16:50 Gives me the chills. Go Bravos!

I was a kid who couldn't bear to watch so i went to my room and left it on the tv in the living room. I turned on my radio and listened and knelt by the speaker because I couldn't play it loud and wake up my little sister. When Cabrera hit the single I jumped up and ran to the living room in time to see Sid slide in safely and at that point all bets were off on sis staying asleep and I went nuts. I woke up everyone in the house and all I could say over and over again was "we stole it from them!" We stole it in the 9th!" Great great memories.

The anniversary of The Slide... I still tear up, hearing Skip's call....

Listening to early Braves dynasty days and just may transition to my earliest memories of the late dynasty Braves during COVID-19 pandemic.

My fiance makes fun of me for getting chills and teary when I listen to this, I've never showed her everyone else's comments lol, she wil see them today though!!! Unforgettable, amazing history!!!

Maan. I wish he were here to see the Braves go from a 2% chance win, for the NLCS, to the WORLD FREAKING SERIES!
